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.

    I love this app, but missing CarPlay for even a tier 1 subscription is a big miss. They have competitors who have CarPlay options. To level set… prior to Apple’s ruling to allow weather apps in CarPlay my wife had to use RadarScope to navigate us through two merging storms while I was driving (timing, etc)…. Now I just use a competitor of theirs if I’m driving. Their competitor in question helped me to avoid tornadic activity as I was driving family home from the airport.

    I have been using radar scope for years now and wouldn’t bother with any others - the radar I in real time. You can plan and stage ahead of the weather this way keeping one step ahead at all time. For instance: when the trucks go out to stage for snow, start salting and when to be ready to plow, that is one, another large factor is in the construction industry, you need to know up to the minute, second almost at point of when you’re going to actually get dumped on! So you can hurry and finish the concrete or get out the cover material to wait it out or plan alternative measures. Five stars from me! Just wish I had a cool black had with some nasty radar pic on it … 😁

  • Radar won’t update

    Normally this app is amazing, today today won’t update. I’ve clicked on multiple “agencies” around my area and the newest is from 7:50 this morning….its 5:58pm right now…the one I normally use says it was last updated 1 day 3 hours and 33 minutes. I’ve closed the app out many times now and still nothing. Please get this fixed. There’s storms all week and I rely on this app specially because it’s the most accurate radar map I have found.

    Utter disappointment Radar Scope’s kowtowing to a wannabe dictator by renaming the Gulf on your maps. Absolutely shameful. I’ll be deleting the app after this review and putting Radar Scope on the list of fascist-enablers. We will remember your cowardice and greed.
  • Ripoff

    By Arrowinder
    Absolute ripoff. Covers very little radar stations. First opening they try to sell you a upgrade. DO NOT Recomend purchase.
  • Not worth it. Very limited options for the $9.99 version.

    Doesn’t even do composite imagery for the $9.99 version… You can only select one radar side at a time. Really poor, uninstalling
  • No prediction radar

    For 10$ you get a 45 minute radar history loop, no future modeling. Pretty much a waste of 10$. Then it wants to upgrade to pro subscription for a slightly longer radar history? And pro2 for longer? Trash business model this all free info elsewhere. Many reviews on reddit likely fake to get buys.
