Description

RadarScope is a specialized display utility for weather enthusiasts and meteorologists that allows you view NEXRAD Level 3 and Level 2 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, Finnish Meteorological Institute, 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 animated lightning data 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 50-frame loops, SPC outlooks, special weather statements, 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, a 2-year archive of NEXRAD Level 3 radar products, a full historical archive of NEXRAD Level 2 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.

    It’s nice. However paying for a subscription on top of paying for the simple purchase of the app might be kinda too much. Overall, I like this.
  • No more love for Radarscope

    I used to love this app and now for the first time in years I’m not renewing my subscription. Why? It’s new floating menu gets in the way and requires two or more taps to get where we used to go using the menu buttons placed in a row at the bottom of the screen. Tap location to turn that on and it doesn’t stick! I’m constantly having to tap tap tap tap to get that turned back on and that’s pretty annoying insert f-bomb here. 🤬🤬🤬

    I overall think it’s a good app it has came in very handy overall since I’ve gotten it and had helped me spot tornados before and helped me keep my family safe however the one change I’d recommend is for the Spc outlooks I think they shouldn’t be just arrows and they should be shaded in areas just like radar omega goes off of as it makes it easyier to tell the areas in a risk

    The app hasn’t worked properly in more than a month. I’ve deleted it and reinstalled it to no avail. I’ve tried selecting different views none of which work. This was my go to radar for severe weather. Now it’s useless.

  • If you have some basic experience of Weather Meteorology, it’s worth the price.

    I have some basic understanding of weather meteorology and I have purchased the app for my own good. I’m not a storm chaser but I like to see storms and this app is pretty useful when it comes to severe storms. Even without the subscription, it’s still pretty useful. I know there is an alternative like OmegaRadar that’s cheap and more advanced but RadarScope brings some simplicity that OmegaRadar doesn’t have.
  • NOT User Friendly

    Bought this to replace Storm Radar which is going up in price. What a mistake - very difficult to figure out settings and get it to display all the features it claims to have - and always wanting you to upgrade to Pro. Last but certainly not least - if it has the ability to forecast radar tracking into the future, I can’t find it.
  • Removed warning

    Used to have details on tornado warnings but seems to have been removed. Very nice to remove something that could be life threatening
  • #1 greatest radar EVER!

    This was a run off for this radar app what’s interesting about this is that you can change the weather modes even it also includes wether towers to track rainstorms,thunderstorms,snowstorms,sleetstorms, and hail cores. I’ll rate it a 10/10 Chefs Kiss
