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, special marine, snow squall, and extreme wind 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.

  • Great app

    I’ve had RadarScope since it came out. Local radars and lots of options to see what’s coming. One suggestion: make it available for CarPlay. That would be great.

    I loved this app. However, in the last 3 months the loading has been inconsistent and during storms it will usually not load for 20-30m. This is a critical error and after almost an entire summer I can only imagine this is highlighting some technical debt at RadarScope. I will not be renewing if these issues persist.
  • Best radar app

    I’ve had this app on my phone for years and the Mac version is exactly the same. I find RadarScope to be the most accurate radar app out there.

    This professional with rap provides weather alert as soon as issued by the national weather service and has high resolution radars which you can see hook echoes for tornadoes very easy

    I’ve used RadarScope for more than a decade on my iPhone and iPad and happily pay for the highest tiers. It’s the best weather radar in the App Store hands down. This is what all the storm chasers are using, it’s what meteorologists use in the field, and it’s flat out the best option on the market. No one else is close (and I’ve tried several). I live in tornado country and every year, without fail, Radarscope helps keep me aware and up to date about storms around me and when to take cover. There are a lot of radar apps out there, but there’s only one Radarscope.
  • Refund!!

    this app is completely false and doesn’t deserve the rating it has, only get if you’re willing to pay another 10-20 dollars to actually unlock the rest of the app. i paid 10$ to only have access to a tenth of the app. everything else required pro and pro2. i would like a refund due to the false advertisement of it being number one.
  • App uses fictional name for historic location

    Only in the United States would a business that touts its scientifically dependable and accurate data bow so low to appease an American politician by using the term “Gulf of America” as the historic location known worldwide for hundreds of years as the Gulf of Mexico. I’m not going into a political rant but some things ARE written in stone like the name of the state you live in, the names of the oceans and the planet itself. You should not comply with the nonsense ‘orders’ of one mortal who doesn’t have even a shallow knowledge of history or the right to arbitrarily change any of it. I worked for years in an FAA flight services facility and was happy to buy the basic app for radar and alerts. As well as maintaining ILS, ATC comm and ground navigation equipment I also maintained weather info gathering equipment and radar into ATC facilities. Any ATC can tell you that nomenclature is VITAL in communication. We don’t arbitrarily rename radio fixes or cities for political purposes. The Gulf of Mexico is not a football stadium. You don’t want your pilot or your brain surgeon to introduce themselves wearing political merch and if a radar data app incorporates political nonsense into its maps, its quality is immediately suspected to be flawed in some other way.
  • Waste of money

    Make this app available on apple CarPlay if possible so we can see radar on the display on a screen in the car if a screen is available so we dont really need to look at our phones or buy a stand when we can just use carplay!
