Description

RadarScope is an AMS-award-winning weather visualization tool that empowers meteorologists, public safety officials, storm spotters, and weather enthusiasts to view a full suite of single-site radar data and related severe weather products. Your initial purchase provides professional radar visualization in a fully native app, free from distracting and invasive practices, with optional subscription packages to add even more capabilities. Whether you’re scanning for a mesocyclone’s tell-tale hook echo, pinpointing the landfall of a hurricane’s eye wall, or identifying velocity couplet, hail spike, or debris ball signatures, RadarScope displays native radar data in its original radial format. You see what the radar sees almost as soon as the radar sees it, with automatic updates every two to ten minutes depending on the radar’s scanning strategy. Your initial app purchase includes the following: • Full suite of single-site radar products for the US, Canada, Guam, Denmark, Finland, and Germany • 6-frame radar loops • Two built-in providers for radar data • Tornado, thunderstorm, flash flood, marine, snow squall, extreme wind, tropical, and other warnings in the US • Selected severe weather warnings in Canada and Australia • NWS-generated storm tracks with hail, TVS, and mesocyclone attributes • Inspector and distance tools • Color palette options for radar data • AllisonHouse data plan integration • Spotter Network integration for storm and location reporting • mPING integration for submitting weather reports to NSSL • Bundled maps with political boundaries, water bodies, and major highways, optimized for low-bandwidth use • Support for widgets and complications • Universal app for Apple platforms, including Apple Watch and Apple TV • Family Sharing support RadarScope Pro Tier One is an optional annual subscription that adds more features for tracking severe weather: • 30-frame radar loops • Cloud-to-ground lightning strikes • Severe weather watches in the US and Canada • Special weather statements in the US and Canada • Mesoscale convective and precipitation discussions • SPC convective, tornado, hail, wind, and fire outlooks • WPC excessive rainfall outlooks in the US • Local storm reports in the US • Custom color palette support • Multi-pane display (2 on phones; 4 on larger devices) • Family Sharing support RadarScope Pro Tier Two is an optional annual or monthly subscription that transforms RadarScope into a more complete visualization tool for a larger suite of weather products, including: • Everything in Pro Tier One • 50-frame radar loops • A third provider for US radar data • NEXRAD Level II radar data for the US with a 30-year historical archive • Historical NEXRAD Level III, super-res, and non-US radar data with a 30-day archive • Historical NWS bulletins with a 19-year archive • GOES East and GOES West satellite products • NSSL’s Multi-Radar Multi-Sensor (MRMS) products • NCEP’s Real-Time Mesoscale Assimilation (RTMA) products • Surface observations • Atmospheric soundings in the US • Hail size, hail probability, and azimuthal shear contours with a 30-day archive • More detailed transportation and satellite imagery maps • Custom color palette support for GOES, MRMS, and RTMA • Server-sent events for radar and warning updates • Cross-platform subscription sharing on up to 5 devices • Family sharing support If you choose to buy a RadarScope Pro subscription, it will be charged to your App Store account.

  • Lightning

    Have to upgrade to Pro just to get lightning overlay. No thanks, plenty of great radar options including lightning that don’t require a subscription.

    The app is good for a radar but the only thing I don’t like is how you used to be able to see all the readers at once with the pro version subscription. But now you can only choose one with the pro sub subscription and they want you to pay 16 bucks just to see the radar across the whole USA or any country. I would only suggest this app if you want to see a radar in one spot and only that spot.
  • Favorite Radar App

    As someone who has tried several radar apps now, this one is just tried and true my favorite. It’s fast, simple, and easy to use. It’s also so informative at the same time with my Tier 2 subscription. I have tried switching to Radar Omega which does offer more features, but I can’t make storm reports and my phone can’t run it without overheating. I don’t think I’ll ever use another radar app when I’m out storm chasing or even just monitoring it. I hope this app stays somewhat simple, but I always love it when they add features and customization tools.

    Excellent app. If possible add winter weather advisories and adjust colors for winter precipitation for the United States.

    I have the paid version but features are still locked
  • Sharing Not Working

    We love this app but a problem has cropped up lately. We are paying for a tier 1 level subscription that was shared among our family which worked well until recently. My wife inadvertently deleted the app from her device. Now when she tries to download the app from the App Store the only option she’s given is to pay for another subscription.
  • Default Radar Location

    By KK Appaloosas
    I live at the western edge of the St Louis radar limits but it is my “default” location…. When I set my radar as Kansas City, the app puts it back to St.Louis…. MAKE IT STOP!! Why do I need to see what’s already past me…?? Don’t you think it’s more important to see what’s coming at me…?? Seriously….!! MAKE IT STOP!! it’s pretty asinine on your part to set any default location….
  • You have to pay to use the app

    I’ve had this app for a while now and what I’ve noticed is you have to spend atleast 8$ a month you even see watches, discussions, etc. I believe this should be free and it is really really stupid that there is a paywall to see that. I would be fine to pay but not if you need to pay 15 dollars a month to use everything. A better list of things blocked by a paywall are watches, statements, discussions, outlooks, lightning, storm reports, observations, archive, and the list goes on. Aside from the paywall to get any information ahead, the app is fine. The radars are very advanced and work just fine.
  • Top notch software

    I’m not a pro but a very enthusiastic amateur and the quality of this software amazes me. Well worth buying at least the first tier. The display is stunningly accurate—I use it in conjunction with ham radio for storm watches and it pinpoints my location an conditions around me perfectly.
  • Does not upgrade to Pro after payment.

    The app is very accurate, better the usual local apps and Apple Weather. I decided to upgrade to Pro, and was billed by my app keeps asking me to pay again! Apple Support has been nothing but trash 🗑️ in helping getting this sorted out!
