Unnecessary Upgrade!

WAS a fantastic app! WAS Well worth the money. I USED to use this app all the time and I loved it. If you have this app and give it 5 stars, you just dont know how great an app it ONCE WAS! NO LONGER one of iPhones finest! Thanks FOR NOTHING Radar Scope!

My primary radar app

RadarScope is my favorite tool to use when there is severe weather occurring. Other than GRLevel2 Analyst on desktop, I rarely use anything other than RadarScope for level II radar.

Best radar app, BUT!

Radarscope is the best radar app but be warned the pro subscription is a scam! I have the app on my ios devices and my Mac and they want me to pay for pro upgrade on my Mac and ios separately. $9.99 per year is ok but come on guys one time a year should cover both machines. Wake up and get real everybody aint made of money!

Nothing but the Best!

You cant get any better than this! Five Stars!! Learn how to use the app before you rate it!!!

What Radar?

Youve ruined this program! We used to be able to use the map to click on a city and bring up the radar for that city. Now we see NO radar images anywhere in the country. If this is a new feature, its not intuitive.

Instructor

The app is not flexible and has lost the ability to move freely across areas. It was working well in teaching flight students for the Army, but now it is just another app. Pilots need the ability to move across the field. Having to purchase-in apps makes this to costly.

Best iPhone app I own

Im not a Wx professional and I live in a boring place for Wx (Arizona), but I love this app!! The design is top-notch, the colors and layout are phenomenal, and the detail is remarkable. I open this app so much just to check around. I really enjoy all the professional radar selections. I purchased the pro version and feel that its worth it. The app itself is worth the money - its not buggy, runs smooth, looks amazing, and provides so much info. The lightening strikes and extended frames are worth it in my opinion. Update: March 31st, 2016, I dont know what people are complaining about. The new update changed the layout but added dual window views and some other things. If you have the pro version you get all the benefits. I havent had any problems with it not working as reported in some reviews. No crashes or anything.

Love the app but please fix

Still love the app however it use to save my radar view but now it defaults to the first one on the list. It is so irritating to have to always change it. Also bring back the sweeping radar. The sweeping radar allowed you to see the coverage area if each radar.

If you are serious about storm tracking, this is worth every penny

This app has been a consistent winner for me since the day I downloaded it. And it is so accurate that one time, I ended up identifying a potential tornado and chased it thru my neighborhood before the weather service activated the tornado warning box. I have the photos to prove this too! Furthermore, I have updated every version of this app and now have the latest version on an iPhone 6 Plus. Yes, there were some changes in the layout of the screen, but all it involves is getting used to the new layout. I totally do not understand the negative reviews that I see showing up. We just had tornadoes come through our local region this very week and I used this app as efficiently and accurately as I have been able to since the very first day since I downloaded it. I would advise anyone to pay little to no attention to these recent negative reviews. I get the impression some of those people dont really know how to use the app at all.

Restore the simulated radar sweeps

The "cool factor" of an app is part of what makes it sell. The simulated radar sweeps unique to RadarScope, and were what made me keep this app when other apps in this category, such as MyRadar PRO started improving. Its a good app, but the lost simulated radar sweeps lost two stars for me.

Radarscope

This app is best for my research project. It look sooo better!!! I LOVE IT!!!

Bad update for iPhone 6+

Need to do a update to fix this app I have had this app for years. Never had a problem with it until they did the last two updates

Watch app doesnt work

Since the latest update, the app for the watch doesnt work. I have had this app for years and this is the first time I had a problem. Please fix!

IOS upgrade

Love the app. After upgrading iPhone & iPad to 9.3.1, Im getting an error message that data is temporarily unavailable. Links for app support are broken. Anyone else experiencing this??

Bring sweep back

Much diminished without sweep function. Please reincorporate. It visually informs app is functioning.

Made it worse.

Where is my local radar selection? Why do you change things that work just fine? Have to find another app now.

Now broken after app update

Best radar for phone, not for watch. Latest app update broke portion for watch. The phone app is a little slower after the last update but the watch app now almost never loads the map or the radar data. Sometimes the map and the sweeper load (watch) but never any radar data. Please fix! Running on 6S with latest iOS update. NOT running on watchOS with latest update!

Needs Improvement

The updates have not made any true enhancements. It does not save my previous radar settings. You close the app out and my setting are gone. I have to scroll way down to find my previous setting. Whatever happened to the radar sweep. What was the logic in removing that feature. As a certified NWS severe weather watcher, I used to rely on this app. I can no longer rely on this app. There are better apps out there. Some are free and some are not. But they are better than this app especially since this app has been updated. As a certified pilot with ASEL, AMEL & IFR ratings, I can say that this app has not been upgraded. Rather quite the opposite, its gone downhill to the point where its almost useless. I have other aviation radar apps that make this app look like garbage. Finally, they constantly are bombarding you to upgrade to their pro version. One word can best describe that logic and its called greed!

Used to be great

Used to be a great app. I used it for years. The developer now wants $9.99/year for what used to be a free service. The free version is not useful. Im looking for a new app.

Good App with a significant caution

This app does what it says very well, and with its recent split screen addition it is a really powerful radar app, but (big BUT), if you learned of this app through the spotter network, like I did, you might be thinking that you can use this app to report actual weather events to the spotter network. This is not true! The most you can report to the spotter network is long/lat and nothing else.
