Description

RadarScope is a specialized display utility for weather enthusiasts and meteorologists that allows you view NEXRAD Level 3 and super-resolution radar data along with tornado, severe thunderstorm, flash flood, special marine and snow squall warnings, and predicted storm tracks issued by the U.S. National Weather Service. It can display the latest reflectivity, velocity, dual-polarization, and other products from any NEXRAD or TDWR radar site in the United States, Guam, Puerto Rico, Korea, and Okinawa, as well as data from Environment Canada, Australian Bureau of Meteorology and German Weather Service radars. These aren't smoothed images, this is native radar data rendered in its original radial format for a high level of detail. Whether you are scanning reflectivity for a mesocyclone's tell-tale hook echo, trying to pinpoint the landfall of a hurricane's eye wall, or looking for small features like velocity couplets in the storm relative radial velocity product, RadarScope gives you the power to view true radial weather radar data. RadarScope displays tornado, severe thunderstorm, flash flood, special marine, and snow squall warnings issued by the U.S. National Weather Service. You can browse the list of active warnings, select a warning to view the details, and even zoom to the selected warning on the map. Pinch or stretch to zoom in and out. Drag your finger around the map to scroll. Tap the radar sweep button in the toolbar to switch radars. Select one of the 289 different radars in the United States, Canada, Australia, Germany, Korea, Puerto Rico, Guam, or Okinawa. Plot your current location by tapping the location button and optionally report it to the Spotter Network. Tap the play button to download and animate over recent images. Display the names of over 25,000 cities and towns on the map as you zoom and scroll. Tap and hold the color legend to see the data values. Meanwhile, RadarScope will retrieve and display updated data automatically and intelligently (approximately every 2 to 10 minutes, depending on the radar scan strategy). You can display radar data from our servers, NOAA's public access web site, or your Allison House subscriber account. Spotter Network members can report their location and view the locations of other spotters. RadarScope Pro is an optional auto-renewing subscription with two different tiers to choose from. RadarScope Pro Tier One is an annual subscription that provides access to real-time lightning data in the U.S. and Canada that animates along with the radar loop and up to 30 frames of radar data, including extended loops of super-resolution data. Tier One subscribers can also access a data interrogation tool to quickly determine data values for specific radar pixels and an optional dual-pane mode for viewing two radar products side-by-side. RadarScope Pro Tier Two is an annual or monthly subscription that combines all the features in Tier One with more advanced features, including SPC outlooks, mesoscale discussions, local storm reports, hail size and probability contours, and azimuthal shear contours in the U.S., a 30-day archive of all radar products, and the ability to use subscription features across multiple platforms. If you choose to buy the RadarScope Pro subscription, it will charged to your iTunes account. The subscription will be auto-renewed within 24 hours prior to the end of the current period at the same price you originally paid. Subscriptions may be managed and auto-renewal disabled via your iTunes Account Settings after the purchase. Once purchased, the subscription cannot be cancelled during the active subscription period.

  • Best Radar App

    5
    By ianmichaelgregjohn
    I’m an Oklahoman who is very intrigued by weather. This app will give you so much more information than other radars. It’s definitely more expensive but it’s worth the price. Its precision and reliability has saved my butt a good few times. One I can remember is on a road trip, we were about to drive into a tornado warning that we had no clue about, but I was aware using the app. Everyone else’s radars were less accurate when we compared them too. Great app. No complaints on my end.
  • Absolutely the Best

    Love this app. I am a weather enthusiast and this app hasn’t let me down once. All the details you will ever need, clearly displayed, and working flawlessly.
  • Useless? Same is free from NWS

    The best $10 scam on the Internet. Can get same from NWS for free. The radar does not show location good enough to locate yourself wrt incoming storm. This app is just a library of bookmarks for radar provided for free by NWS.
  • Radar Scope Widget?!?

    By Carrington Woods
    Hey! Love the app. I was wondering, with the new iPhone update, could we possibly see a Radar Scope widget? And on this widget you can have it show one specific station? So you can have a quick glance at your local radar or radar of choice from your Home Screen??😮 Carrington

    The best radar app available by far.

    I would really like to see watch boxes, a composite view of the U. S. And the ability to to toggle the information to make it 5 stars for $100. A quick note is that I-22 between Memphis TN metro and Birmingham AL is in open now.

    Best radar app ! Just don’t be a beta tester. My beta build expired and I had to uninstall and reinstall my app. Yes, pro tier 2 is expensive but worth it. Giving it a 3 because of the screw up with my beta test.
  • Latest version - blinding highways

    By dbell80
    Love the app, been using it for many years, but this version is disappointing. I don’t know why we need the interstate highways to show up in nearly neon blue and three times as bold as they used to be. Incredibly distracting. Please either give us the option to adjust them, or tone them down. I’d prefer to focus on the weather and not be blinded by highways.
  • Love it when it works

    I make the go/no go call for about 150 outdoor programs each year, based on weather. When RadarScope works, it’s the best out there in helping me decide when to cancel a program. However, I frequently have issues with the last scan being 5+ hours old, and the app not loading the most recent data. Have tried all kinds of resets, hard and soft, but have ended up having to use another app to pull radar when RadarScope won’t update. Sometimes quite frustrating in the middle of trying to make the right call.
  • Basic Version is Disappointing

    I paid $9.99 for the basic version and am very disappointed to the point that I can delete it, it’s that useless. I wouldn’t be willing to buy any upgrades if the basic version is this disappointing.
