Finest weather app I have ever used

Don’t even bother looking elsewhere. I had been a longtime during of Dark Sky, but this app is way ahead in terms of accuracy and sophistication. If you try the free version, I am sure you will quickly upgrade to the paid version to get rid of the ads…then you will really appreciate how gorgeous (and accurate) this app is. It will give me advance warnings of rain later in the day way earlier than other apps and way earlier than radar even shows. I don’t know how they can predict rain so accurately. Also, even more impressive, they immediately alter the forecast with ongoing last minute changes in the weather. I have watched it real time when rain has been approaching, and when the clouds have broken up approaching me, the forecast quickly adjusts. Just a truly amazing app. And you can fully customize its appearance and type of warnings you want. I have never seen a weather app so customizable. And the warnings go to my watch so I don’t even have to keep looking at my phone or ipad. It’s set it and forget it. This app is clearly the head of the class, by a wide margin, in a very crowded field of apps.

Red Flood Warning Boxes (updated)

I received a response about the red flood warning boxes, and thank you Andy for that. However, the opacity changes all weather warning boxes. And, spotting severe thunderstorm tornado warning boxes are next to impossible with the bright red persistent flood warnings. I know they’ve been red for 10 years, but I truly believe you will find many would agree that changing those flood boxes from red to a more subdued color would make the tornado warnings, etc. much easier to find. (As all other radars have done.) You’ve got clouds and rain in blue and purple. And, severe thunderstorms and tornadoes in similar color scheme. I think most would like a change and adapt quite quickly. One thing would make it perfect.... (yep, 2 stars to 5). These red boxes for river and snow melt flooding are always there.... and because they are in red they obstruct the view of other weather data or severe warning boxes. These boxes are long lasting and a nuisance. I’ve had to disable watch boxes because you can’t see what’s what. The Mississippi and Missouri Valleys are examples of an overload of red boxes that you can’t remove. If there was a way to disable these and other statements one by one, that would help. Then in the event of a severe thunderstorm or tornado outbreak I’d just keep it on this app for instead of switching to another. And quite honestly, severe thunderstorms and tornadoes shouldn’t be blue or lavender... really?

I never leave reviews, but this app... update.

Maybe my memory is not the best but it seems the desire to make money above all else is why I am changing from 5 stars to 1. I purchased hurricane tracker two years ago. Being my favorite radar app even though I could track the same data on different apps, I paid to give back to the app, now with this hurricane season it seems to me that if I want that data I have to pay for more subscriptions. Even after refreshing my previous purchases. I click on the storm and get prompted to purchase. I guess I’ll fully make the transition to a different app now. I've used this for years. In my old position we would turn to this app for fast visuals when preparing water rescues and staging boat teams. Now that I've moved positions, I use the add on that lets you view unsocial radar towers and we prepare based off of what the individual tower shows. Can't say enough about the app. The only addition I would add is an explanation of the wind feature and what elevation that is at. Since obviously you'll see winds going one way and the storms another. Play with the features. You can make this app pretty amazing if you spend the time. Hey, my radar, maybe find a way to link in your travel plans or route or search an exact location so we can see where friends are and what the weather is doing. I've used the app to update family traveling in other states but it would just streamline the process.

Finally! After SO Much Searching

I think I’ve finally found a weather app worth keeping. First off, the pricing structure. A dev team that understands that forcing a subscription model for an app service that can easily be found for free, is not the right move. Giving the OPTION for a one time payment (which I am willing to do without hesitation) OR a subscription for additional features that the normal weather update seeker doesn’t need. OPTIONS…..something the App Store lacks these days. Features - This app has everything I need. Details when I need it, collapsible when I don’t, radar, alerts that are customizable. I didn’t think I was picky about must-have features in a weather app but apparently I am because it took me easily over 30 app downloads to find this one and so far I’m loving it. With the nearing departure of Dark Sky I think there is going to be a scramble for good replacement and this one is going to be or should be among the top contenders. I think the only thing that could hurt them is a forced subscription but so far a good play by them IMO.

Paid for pro, now no load at all!

This is utterly ridiculous. My father, husband and I all are absolutely disgusted with the barrage of weather apps. We had one we liked and the idiots discontinued it in favor of an ‘upgraded’ version they favored leaving all users in the cold. On the hunt we’ve been and found nothing. This, our far favorite 2nd place...I tried the ‘paid’ to pro to at least see if that would allow for a better insight into the info we no longer had. No. It not only did not, but instead...now I have a paid for app that constantly, and I mean constantly crashes. You owe a refund as its utterly unusable. Either offer a product ready to launch or dont offer it until it is. Charging people for an ‘upgraded’ format that is far from it is bordering on fraud. Clearly you are aware the issues. Fix it or refund. There are only 2 choice as people are depending on Doppler for their lives and all ye weather apps claim to have it and are even now charging for some sort of ‘better’ access to it. Obviously untrue. As a huge storm front comes barreling our direction and your stupid app has failed yet again, we go to download someone else’s in a hurry. I hope someone decides to regulate this ludicrous field of hap hazard ‘warnings’ for weather as this is not a joke to those of us living in ‘the belt’. Get you’re act together.

The BEST radar app.

I’ve read the negative reviews and I don’t get it. I have used this app since it first came out - for many years. It’s my go to app for weather and I prefer to use this over the local TV channels for bad weather. I’m in Dallas TX and this app has safely taken me through many tornado warnings and 2 tornados. Last year the weather looked bad and not a single local weather channel reported anything. I followed the bad storm for 15 miles while the storm came right over us. Knowing what was happening because of the app, I was able to record the storm with the hurricane winds and golf ball size hail. It did almost $50K in damage to my home and yard. I even got a screen shot of the radar as it was overheard with yellow, red, purple and pink denoting the ferocity of the storm and a white center over our house - probably denoting the golf ball size hail. I use this app to warn my elderly friends to take shelter or that it’s nothing to worry about. I have used the app with 4 iPads and several iPhones and never had any issues. Thanks to the developers and please keep up the good work!!

Outstanding

Simply outstanding; gorgeous graphics making full use of modern smartphone/tablet screens. Most current weather apps have good data, including this one, so the it’s the finer details that set this app apart, and a vital part of my weather app collection. The perfect weather app has yet to be created, so most of us weather nuts have a multitude of these programs we will check daily, and this one currently sits with the best in the top row. Excellent selection of radar data, incredibly fast data load speeds, smart map layer options, and the manner in which the data is presented makes for a quick, reliable, and, frankly, beautiful check of the weather. Includes up to the hour data on wildfires and earthquakes around the globe. And the aviation layers provide a great basis when initiating a flight plan (which route today?) and setting expectations. Biggest WEAKNESS: lacks storm cell tracks, jet stream overlay, and access to PWS’s. Add those and you guys might literally have the finest weather app in the world. Great job

Great radar, clumsy forecast

The radar feature on this app was and still is the best. The forecast on iPad, not so much. It’s really kinda clumsy. The UV/pressure/temp only shows UV, in portrait orientation the data is crammed into a small area of the upper screen while the UV/pressure/temp takes up almost 2/3 of the area. This doesn’t make sense on a bigger screen. The iPhone app is actually easier to navigate with bigger buttons and sliders; again, this doesn’t make sense. Why not have a bigger version of the forecast? Well, there is a larger forecast and it’s somewhat hidden. Tap the little photo icon and some random photo appears with a large version of the forecast. This is much better, but still kind of weird, taking up most, but not all of the screen. Why not just make this full screen and ditch the random photos. Turn your iPad to landscape and part of the forecast days are cut off; this app has had issues with truncating text for many versions. Maybe the developer should focus less on the strange “Star Citizen” imaginary planets feature and correct the UI for the forecast. That being said, I rarely use the forecast feature on this app because it is rather annoying!

Forecasts cut off

I believe forecasts in weather apps should have the highest priority whether they have radar or not. This developer doesn’t agree. At least their actions do not agree with their written statements after telling them the forecasts get cut off before the completion of the forecast on both the iPhone and iPad Pro. They said they will eventually fix the problem but they have other priorities right now. I would imagine you can guess what I said to them after that one. In all other areas it’s a pretty good app. But because I believe the forecast being cut off was not addressed on purpose I gave the app 3 stars. Once they fix that issue I would give it 5 stars. It’s funny that the forecast appears in full on their Apple Watch version of this app. Edit: The forecast problem was fixed. So as stated above I have changed the number of stars to 5. This is now my go to weather app. Edit 2: I also would love it if it supported Personal Weather Stations (PWS).

#1 Tool for Emergency Management

I’ve always been a fan of this platform, but the new arrival of wildfire and electrical outage layers is both surprising and welcomed! The developers are quickly removing the need to have any other platform for private sector emergency management hazard tracking on their phones! I have a few minor complaints, mainly surrounding their decision to alter the colours of the warning/watches for severe weather (move tornado warnings back to pink as the red warnings for flooded rivers and the red warnings for tornadoes causes too much confusion). Additionally there are a few features in other applications such as wind velocity and targeted regional warning notifications for tornadoes and other hazards that have unique audio tone alerts that I wish this platform would adopt. However, all that aside, I’m breaking my #1 rule of attaching my name to any review for the pure sake of helping this application grow in its popularity and it’s use! Thank you and great work!

Great for travel and home use

Use it all the time to check for rain along travel route. App supplements what I get on local TV. I can zero in on specific locations with it to check rainy or flooding conditions. I highly recommend it. For a time - earlier in 2016 - the location dot did not work right. I could travel from home to Mobile, AL and the locator dot would track me. However, lots of times when I got home the locator dot still showed me to be in Mobile. Hasn't done it in about two months. Maybe it was a bug the developers fixed - I hope so anyway. Update Sep 2018 - Hey developers! Some of us wear trifocals. Your zoom in feature on locale temps works in reverse! When one zooms in on Billings, MT, for example, the numerical values of temp get smaller. You too will someday wear bifocals or tri-focals. Give us a break and let the numbers stay BIG when we zoom into a location.

Weather

What an enigma, weather! I live in Southwest Florida on the Gulf of Mexico and I have to keep my eye in the weather as part of my business is keeping an eye on properties that a number of clients own who live in their primary residences up north during the summer months. Now (June - November (more like December too)) we are in “Hurricane Season”. Exclusively I turn to My Radar Pro to get a “current” weather picture. My Radar Pro has been the tool that I use to keep my clients informed and up to date. This is an incredible app and extremely valuable. If there could be any improvement I would ask for this one thing, True, Real Time radar views. I’m hoping that this request can be an is an actual upgrade in the very near future. Outside of that it serves me just fine. Thanks for the fine job that you all do. Keep up the good work! Klaus 🐠

Amazing Must-own App - Could Use Updated Tutorial

I really love this app. The notifications are spot on, the visuals are amazing, and the number of extras included or purchasable are super cool. Lightweight app, too, for both battery and data. It also works all over the world and even while airborne on inflight WiFi services. Lots to love. I would still purchase this app again and again. My current “downside”... lately they’ve made some changes and updated the forecasts and things. Looks amazing but bothers me in that it’s not as intuitive as I’d like it to be and an updated tutorial would help. New forecasts have dots and colors and lines and numbers for various things but it isn’t totally clear what they mean. I could surmise the numbers on the dots dots are the actual times the temperature will reach a high and a low and the color changes are the estimate of where it starts to change but that’s not quite clear. And the cloud cover forecast. I mean it has blue and grey (for the sky and clouds?) and two percentages that mean...? I’m not sure what, and also times and things and I’d like to think it’s when the sky will go to or from clouds or whatnot but again it’s still guessing. The menu for help tutorial is not very useful. I miss the old all-in-one but I will come to like the new styling and hope to see some more but really would like some first-time help screens for the layout changes.

Finestkind Weather app

This app is just about perfect. Shows what the rain/snow picture is anywhere in the country and also globally. You can select display layers for winds, cloud cover, even air quality, plus far too many more to mention. It is very accurate, as well. I used it in the Caribbean for the weather picture while we were down there in October. I use it to get the look-ahead when storms gather here in the California desert. I think once or twice in 4 years of owning this app it glitched out on me and never for very long. About the only thing missing here is the app should show up as available for use in CarPlay. All in good time, I suppose. Anyway, of all the radar apps, this one is the easiest to use, to understand, to rely on. All in all one of the best applications of any kind for iPhone. Kudos!

Excellent Depiction Weather App

As an instructional aviator, I use a variety of government and non-government weather sources to get my short and longer term weather picture. My Radar is one of my “go to” favorites. With the aviation layers turned on, I can get a great color enhanced current weather depiction that allows me control of the layers I need to see to build a weather picture. With the wind flow depiction, I frequently use this app to train my students in understanding cyclonic and anticyclonic wind flows and their relations to cloud formation, rainfall patterns, and frontal activity. If I could add one feature to this app, it would be an optional overlay of pressure system centers and related frontal boundaries. These can easily be seen using other apps and website weather, but adding it here would really enhance the utility of this otherwise perfect app. I highly recommend this app and it’s add ins!!

The new version of my radar pro is useless

The new version of the my radar pro app is very disappointing. On the iPad. I live on the ocean and use the pro version with the premium features several times a day. The new version on the iPad has reduced the radar window to a postage stam size, has pumped up the size of the line graphs, and uses a good 3/4 of the rest of the screen display for useless “pretty” weather photos = and even worse, the forecast is places over the picture AND as a result the forecast is impossible to read. The pro version works ok on the iPhone but I’m seriously thinking of removing this new upgrade and using the Storm Radar app or one of the NOAA radar apps. It’s really a shame someone didn’t check out the radar pro version on the iPad before they released it.

Great radar app, recently learned about GPS tracking

I’ve used MyRadar Pro for years on iOS and other platforms. As a radar app, it’s #1 in my book. It’s only one of two that have Apple Watch support and the new real-time rain updates are quite accurate. Overall, I’d otherwise highly recommend it... However, it recently came to light that MyRadar (along with some other unrelated apps by other developers) are using location data from our phones and selling that information to data monetization firms. This was also disclosed as of a few months ago in MyRadar’s location permission description text. I understand that every developer needs to make money, but this is a paid app. If that’s not enough, I’d sooner say raise the price. But with an app that relies on location permissions to show you current conditions and where you are on the radar map, there is seemingly no way to prevent this data sharing for monetization without crippling the app’s functionality or uninstalling it altogether. Due to this recent development around MyRadar, I have no choice but to lower my rating and post this for others to be aware before paying for this app. Outside of this warning, I would implore the developers to consider at least making the data collection for monetization optional in the paid app. MyRadar is too good of a product to be hampered by this virtually non-optional violation of personal privacy.

Great app, but missing features.

This is a great app, however it needs to have a few more features added to it. For example the ability to go backwards and look at data from an hour before or even days before. It would also be beneficial if data could be saved at a touch of a button. If I want to save data with the current app I have to record the screen. The app would be much more useful if I could just tap a button on the screen to record. I’d even be willing to pay extra for that feature. Also a slider bar feature of minutes, hours or days would be great! For myself, I use the app to work on my theory as to what really causes violent storms to develop. Being able to display the data over and over again would all me the ability to study storms in depth. I would love to be a bata tester for this app!

Best weather app!!! Hands down!

Typically I do not write reviews but when an app really impressed me I want to send some support. First off looking for a weather app I have one criteria, to be accurate looking in the App Store there are about a dozen different weather apps and only one works it becomes questionable the reputations of the others. Living in Wisconsin with winters i need to know if, when and how much snow will be coming. Or maybe I’m just crazy and like to know those things. Anyways this app is spot on accurate. Better yet the map options and the clarity of the map, plus the speed at which the radar works is amazing. I tried the free app and only after a week I bought the app. For what “my radar pro” offers I would have paid double, because it simply is the best. No other weather app even comes close!

Perfection In An App

This app is the fastest way to get immediate data on storm movement as well as general weather. It is highly accurate. Two nights ago we watched a lightning/cloud show unparalleled in recent years and the app showed the storm skirting us by a very close margin. Sure enough, we got no rain or damage and the folks barely to our east had hail, water and wind damage. Now we are dry camping in a National Forest in the middle of, well, nowhere and even on 1 bar of service the radar loads in seconds and alerts are still accurate within a minute. When the alert says rain starting in 10 minutes go close your windows;>) The options for what you want to see on any map are as impressive as the accuracy! Pay for it. Really! Support the developer;>) Andy, can I buy a t-shirt?

Great Weather App!

This is my go to Weather app. I have used many weather apps in the past and must say this one is by far the best. I love the graphics and the accuracy of the radar is phenomenal. While I am out and about I depend greatly on this app for accurate radar display. I can usually tell if it is going to rain or snow within a matter of minutes just by looking at the radar display. I highly recommend this app to anyone who depends on the radar for getting any precipitation data in your area. Five stars all day long! I am also impressed with the weather notifications. Let me know when it is it gonna rain within a matter of minutes. This is my go to radar app when I am checking on the weather. I have owned many weather apps and this is by far the best! If I could give it 10 stars I would!

Works great! UPDATE: But....

UPDATE: Had this app a few years now, its still great and runs flawlessly. I just bought the $2.99 Hurricane Tracker on my iPhone, BUT the additional feature doesn't show up on My Radar Pro on my iPad. I even uninstalled and reinstalled it. If I purchase an In-App feature it should show up in that app on EVERY device my Apple ID is tied to. My games do it. This so far is my only complaint on this great App, but a valid one. PREVIOUS: Got the Pro version. This is my new favorite radar map. Love that you can vary the transparency so you can read the cities through the colored weather areas. Well thought out map and user interface. You get what you pay for. I don't mind paying people who make a decent product. The app is reasonably priced and the additional warning app is less than a beer--fair price.

My favorite weather app but won’t work on my watch currently

MyRadarPro is my favorite weather app and I use it exclusively over Apple’s weather app and the Weather Channel app. I particularly like the alert about rain coming! I USED to sync to my watch face too but now only displays blank lines under the app name. I can still press it and get the radar, hourly temps, and other forecasts to show on my watch but hope they’ll fix this glitch soon. No response from tech support email yet though they appear responsive to these reviews. When it syncs correctly to the watch again I’m upping it back to a 5/5 stars. (10/5 if I could) On my phone I exclusively use this app and appreciate the straightforward data without all the lurid clickbait some other apps have. I don’t need the TMZ of weather stories. I want science. MyRadar and MyRadarPro provide the info I need to plan my day or pivot accordingly.

Very accurate and stable weather app

I’m always hesitant to pay money for ANY app. I normally go to the NOAA website but it’s not that mobile friendly so gave in and bought this App. To get it out of the way; there are features that need additional purchases. Which I do not have a problem with. This app is very detailed and fully customizable to what data & how you see it, the hourly forecast is very accurate. I no longer use google weather to plan my trips or outdoor events. My main use rely on accurate hourly localized rain forecast. The ability to cross reference two local base stations is a very nifty ability. Would recommend especially if you can use it as a company expense. Sports, concerts, exercise, weddings, traveling, or any outdoor events.... knowing is half the battle, add this app to your toolkit.

MyRadarPro Really is Pro at weather tracking

I've looked everywhere for any good radar app, and most are either too confusing or too weird, this app is in all ways, no other world could explain it, absolutely P-E-R-F-E-C-T Perfect! Down to the minute storm tracking, i've watched storms form on radar mere minutes to seconds forming in the real world, I've used this app to track weather, watch storms, and keep track of stunning weather events (tornadoes, lightning storms) and it's been dead on accurate! I don't understand the complaints, I've used this app to check for weather that has happened or is happening in the seconds, and a really good addition is extended past radar! To see more of the past radar throughout the day. Now i'm a little busy because I got a storm to track and this app to use!

Accurate app.

This app seems to be the most accurate weather app I’ve used. I use to use Zoom Pro weather which was the most accurate weather app but has been either replaced with something else or the developer simply dropped it. The weather history year by year is very misleading and is propaganda for the false narrative of Anthropogenic Climate Change as the historical science and data do not support that part of the apps feature. Likewise there are other features of the app that promote the false narrative of climate change. I just need accurate weather forecasts and could care less spout climate change…either we adapt, as man always has, or we die, simple. I use this app for the accuracy of the forecasts for hunting purposes.

MyRadar Pro

I am retracting my previous review and now I am giving a 5 star 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟rating. I spoke to the developer of the app and expressed my concerns and they listened! They are now on top of the issues with the app and I am very happy now with how they are doing what they need to do to fix the issues with MyRadar Pro. They are currently fixing the issue with uploading photos, the app isn’t crashing anymore like it was previously and I gave suggestions on good features they should put in the application. I have to say I am very happy with MyRadar Pro now and it’s my go to app for weather and especially that I live in hurricane country in South Florida having their app is a must for me. Download this app you will love it and not be disappointed it’s worth the price!! 10 stars 🌟 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 all the way!

I’ve become Disappointed

I have been using this app for many many years. I use it ALL the time be it for storm location and direction or just searching for a specific town for reasons non related to weather. It’s a fabulous app but my disappointment has grown mostly in two areas. 1.the font size nearly disappears when I zoom in and I can’t find a setting to make it larger. It is pertinent to identify the little towns near storms or just generally needing to know where a town is. And 2. When they send push notifications about “rain starting/stopping in ( ) minutes” It’s RARELY accurate for my location. I get them when there are NO clouds to be seen. So it is “0” % reliable for that use but otherwise I love it for storm tracking. Can’t rate a 4 because the font thing is a big deal to me and the notification is so inaccurate.

5 years ago, He Covers Me

That’s it!

I wasn’t going to do this but I am fed up with this app. Every time I use the two finger pinch to zoom in or out the app crashes and I have to open it up try it again in this revolving door scenario. I was contacted by developers, after my complaining, and they seemed very concerned offering me solutions. I no sooner applied the tips and it happened again and again and again. This is very disappointing since I paid to get the pro version to remove ads. I swear the free version never gave me these kind of issues. So please developers will you get this thing right? Now as of Mothers Day 2019 this app is still garbage. Crash crash crash only radar that is working is over Usa. The rest of the world shows nothing. I would never recommend this garbage app. Still one star just because I can’t give it zero stars. I paid for pro version and now they’ve snuck in other features to try to charge even more instead of including them for the extra money I already paid.

THE Best Weather App I’ve Ever Used

If you want an accurate weather app, especially for tracking storms and getting advanced notice of coming rain, this is it! The amount of information and detail you get with this app, the beautiful design, the accuracy. It’s all amazing. I’ve used other apps, but when it comes to the rainy season, this is my full time tool to track the storms and clouds. I also use it during wildfire season! This app shows wildfires as well as their sizes and perimeters and details about them. I went for the ad free version which just adds more to this app by taking away any distractions and helping you focus on the detail and information. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS APP!

Apple Watch Problems

Another update: I’m getting data now but it’s in Celsius. My iPhone app is in Fahrenheit. This shouldn’t be that hard to fix. If you’re going to charge money for your products, I believe you’re obligated to make them work. Update: The Apple Watch app doesn’t ask me to upgrade anymore, but the only thing that shows up is the radar. Everything else is dashes or blanks. There is no Hourly data or 5 Day data at all. And not a word from the people who charge extra for the Watch app. I like the app, so please make it work. Prior Review: Paid for both the pro version and the Apple Watch upgrade. Worked for a while on my Apple Watch, but now all it does is tell me to purchase the Apple Watch upgrade. I’ve restored my purchases from the iPhone app many times. Still no luck. Sent a request to the company from their app, but no response. I don’t mind an app having a problem, but I hate it when the don’t care about you and don’t feel any obligation to respond.

Very disappointed ❄️

This app is beautiful. But for where I am, on the Olympic Peninsula in Washington State, this app has been horribly, horribly wrong. Over the last three weeks the predicted temps and weather conditions from MyRadar Pro have been absolutely completely off--wildly off. I have immediately compared them to Dark Sky and the default Apple Weather app, and they have been spot-on (and consistent with each other). I have checked, and re-checked my settings and location on the map time after time. I'm talking MyRadar telling me it's going to snow here for hours and days when there is no precipitation at all, for example. I downloaded this app as a replacement to Dark Sky, which is leaving the App Store, and was surprised to find that for all the bells and whistles and beautiful layout, the alerts, forecasts, and current conditions are absolutely significantly way off. This may be just for my location for some reason, I cannot say for sure. I am wondering if my radar Pro isn't as finally granulated to local weather stations, and instead uses regional data. maybe that would work for the Great Plains, but in Western Washington it just won't. That's all, believe me or not. I wish it wasn't true. I can't use this app now because it is not reliable where I am.

Upgrade issues have me crazy!

I’ve had MyRadar for a while now, and like it a lot. But I tried to upgrade to pro today and could find no way to do so. I bought the Pro version anyway. And I subscribed to Premium Features. I installed the app on my wife’s phone as well. Since we are a family, I was not billed twice for the app. But still had to go through the motions of purchasing it. When I tried to “restore previous purchases” to get premium features on my wife’s phone, I got a message saying I had to purchase the app first. I tried to go through the “buying” motions on wife’s phone to get Premium Features, thinking that would work the same as installing the app. I got billed again for a $6.99 subscription. That’s twice. And STILL couldn’t turn it on. So. How do I do this? How do I get Premium Features to work on my wife’s phone? How do I get my $6.99 back, and do I get any credit for the remaining time on my Premium subscription on the original version?

If you want or need a SOLID radar app - you’ve found it.

I’ve tried I think 8 or 9 different radar apps, and most of them have their good points. Maybe their ‘pro’ or ‘ad-free’ versions are prohibitively priced, or maybe none won’t have a particular function you’re looking for, most of them will leave you wanting more. This app did exactly what I wanted it to do, and it performed better than I expected. The upgrade was priced well for what it offered, and included the things I needed without being flooded with so much that it looked or felt cluttered. Without getting too far into the weeds, I haven’t had a single issue or needed any functionality that wasn’t there. I absolutely recommend this one. All the best!

No Tornado Warnings?!

A few weeks ago, there was a tornado warning in our area. However, the app didn’t send out a notification about a tornado warning, which is funny because this is supposed to be the best weather app on the market. But…, if you can’t show tornado watches and warnings, why even market this app? I love the app, and I understand you have to pay your staff with the cost of premium features (such as the Apple Watch app), but unless you can show tornado watches and warnings to your users, I can’t give a full 5 stars. I’ll at least give you 4 for all the good this app has so far, but if you want the 5th star, you need to include tornado watches and warnings.

Go-to Weather App!

I love the MyRadar App. I use it between my Apple devices and my Windows devices. It’s perfect for viewing on any size screen, and the information that’s provided is best suited for my needs. I travel a lot so the fact that MyRadar will always give me the most up to date weather reports wherever I am is great. I know if I should be concerned about tornado or storm fronts in Ohio, especially on days that I fly, or icy road conditions in Seattle. I also can quickly tell if the air quality in Las Vegas is good enough to be out in so my significant other knows weather or not she’ll need her allergy pills for the day! All around the best app I use across my devices!

UPDATE - Hurricane Tracker is Fixed w/o need to Subscribe

I have been a user of MyRadar for about a couple of years now. Have paid for the Pro Version, Professional Radar Pack, and the Hurricane Tracker. I have been very please with using the Hurricane Tracker as it worked very well last year. Now I have to pay to unlock its features even though I already purchased it?! C’mon. That is such a low move. $6.99 per year to use a feature I already paid for? I hope you guys do the right thing and at least allow people who purchased it prior to be grandfathered into the full capabilities of the Hurricane Tracker. I will update my star rating when this is remedied. UPDATE - I have changed my review from 2 stars to 5 stars. It looks like MyRadar has added the ability to keep the Hurricane Tracker without the need to subscribe to Premium features. I noticed that Hurricane Tracker was unchecked in the layers section. Turned it on and everything is back to normal. I haven’t lost faith in you guys at MyRadar! Yours Truly, MyRadar user for the last couple years

Something is broken!!!! Please fix it!!!!

I contacted the developers using the app setting over a week ago, and no response to date yet. I bought this app a few years ago and I depended on it. Two weeks ago we had tornado warning but your app did not indicate there was any severe weather. The temperature has been off by 10 to 20 degrees off and on. This morning at 1am I got THREE (3) Severe Weather Warnings in the next 24 hours... not one, but THREE IN A ROW. Your app showed thunderstorms starting at 5PM to 1AM today. Then we had a short 10 minute storm at 2PM, and nothing even remotely since then. It currently shows thunderstorm in the description but the sun is shining and the sky blue... It states it is 76 degrees but it is 83 degrees. What the heck is with this app now? I paid for the PRO version... I would have expected it to be dependable, as our safety is at risk... TORNADO WARNINGS - thank god we could hear the sirens... where were you guys?

Developers are Happy to Withhold Features Previously Paid for

Initially, I loved this radar app as I had purchased the pro option and even some of the permanent upgrades within the app. A few years went by as many apps switched to subscription-based services, including MyRadar Pro. I was directly told by the app’s popups that any features that were turning subscription based would remain in my possession forever if I had already bought them previously. Of course, the features I relied on day in and day out were made unable to access unless I paid a subscription. The developer’s solution? A year of the subscription service, and then I’d have to pay 30 dollars a year for the rest of the time I use the app. This was not satisfactory in the slightest, considering I had paid for, and was promised the extra features would remain usable for the duration of app’s existence, both at purchase and when MyRadar started to change their service costs. If the developer responds to this: I’m not interested in anything offered as a consolation unless it’s the fully restored service of the Pro app I purchased along with the additional features that were promised with the purchase (i.e. the storm tracker, etc. besides the aviation charts).

It’s assuredly pretty

I’ve had the app for about a week. The interface is nice, the information is good and presented clearly for the most part. It seems to jive with my trusted Wunderground app which I’m still using. This app hasn’t yet completely replaced it yet. Now I’m using two. It continually annoys me with its questions and reminders. Yeah, I get it about notifications and dAnGeRoUs WeAtHeR alerts. Stop bugging me. I’ve never had an app I’ve paid for bug me so relentlessly. Maybe in time they’ll slow down, these reminders and prodding pop ups. Kind of like the one that asked me to write a review. The pop up has affected my mindset on this review so it sounds negative now. But it’s a good app.

The most informative and beautiful weather app

Since I started using iOS devices I have tried many different weather apps before finally discovering this one. I need a very accurate and information rich weather app to help plan many aspects of my life. In the past I would use a few at a time to get the information I needed. Based on the latest update of MyRadar, I now only need 1 App since they have added lightning tracking in the latest update. Not only is it the most clever implementation, it is also the most beautiful. In fact everything about this app gets me to the information I need quickly and enjoyably. This is by far the best weather app I have seen or used. It is also very inexpensive for all you get. For example the hurricane tracking is very detailed and costs a tiny amount. These guys nailed it. It is a must have for all iOS users who leave their house for any reason or have kids in sports. It is my hyper accurate personal weatherman. It should be yours too.

Was my favorite Radar app...

The reason I bought the paid version of this app was because it loaded faster that any of the other radar apps I'd tried. It's not so fast anymore, I think it is the developers have added features it has bogged the software down. Also it is still showing hurricane Harvey is a category three hurricane at 9:44 PM central time, it's been a cat 4 storm for two hours now. I paid for the hurricane tracker feature so I could get the latest info on any storms in the Gulf of Mexico, but now I can't count on that either UPDATE: Hurricane Irma is bearing down on Florida and once again my radar pro let me down. As of 6:02 am Eastern time, my radar pro still shows armor is a cat three. I'm very disappointed in this app, Irma is a category four storm

Works pretty well

Been using it for about 4 years, sometimes there are issues but it usually works fine. Sometimes I wish there was a blank where i could just type the name of the town where I want to see the weather. For some reason the Radar Weather app quit working on my iPad for about a week, I really missed it and am really glad it’s working again. The weather radar quit showing up on my screen a long time ago, it rained almost all day here yesterday but the map never showed any rain. I don’t know if that’s caused by something I did or what, they have a help thing that’s supposed to help fix issues but it’s never been of any help to me just more confusion.

Pretty but useless

Like so many others, I was looking for a replacement for the excellent hi-def noaa radar app, which I’d had for years, that self-imploded this year. This app had so many great reviews, I took a chance and donated my money to the developers of this app. I say donated because I got nothing in return but some colorful but useless graphics. How this got so many great reviews, I can only imagine. Hmm. But I can see that there are more negative ones starting to filter in. I really just need hi-def, accurate radar that doesn’t crash every time I move the map. This app is slow to load, shows an intro menu everything time I open it—I could go on and on, but if you’re serious about weather and not into social media glamor, this is not it. I’ve deleted this app, moving on, keeping hoping someone will build a reasonably priced, intelligent app without all the bloatware.

Review

I’ve looked at my radar everyday since 2014 when I bought my iPad,always informative and cool weather photos. It’s a great app and my favorite one too! Sincerely, Ron. I continue to use MY RADAR PRO, I refer to it several times a day when there are severe storms. In the winter, when snow is forecast. My radar continues to be my favorite app and the one I use daily, every day. They are also available to help you in the event you are having a technical problem with the app, they always have written back to me with good and useful information. Nice people and a great app too! Sincerely, Ron. Friday, May 17,2024.

Best Weather app that is a complete package and more

Love this weather app. It is my go to. I do not understand why the other Apple vloggers ever talk about this app. Lots of aviators use it. It is very detailed and well designed. The UI is beautiful with a pull down screen that is pretty as well with extensive and future forecasts. Very accurate and way more accurate than others out there. A long time user here. Worth the upgrade with more features, especially wildfire and hurricane information. They even have their own meterologists on staff with videos if you inquire more info.

Modernization = subscription

Just a heads up. The upcoming “remodernization” is probably gonna to turn the app into a subscription just like the rest of them. Don’t update!! Old review :Don't waste your money on the pro radar pack. It really does not do anything but give you "tilt" or upper and lower levels of radar which is not very useful to normal people. Load times for the radar are often slow compared to other radar apps. Why can't I change the opacity of the radar images themselves? And the fact they started charging for the free hurricane track just before a huge storm hit makes these guys a bit shady imo. If your going to spend $$ on a hurricane tracking app just get hurricane pro by kittycode. Also, keeps saying my e-mail address isn't valid when trying to set up the photos section when I know it is in fact valid.

Driver

I have lost the ability to remove or set individual locations to be monitored. For a new location, the ‘star’ is empty, and when tapped, remains empty and location is not set. For an existing location, tapping on the star does not change to ‘empty’ and the location is not removed. Update caused forcast dropdown to loose contrast. Very hard to read. Was perfect before update. Please change contrast back to where it was before latest update. UPDATE: Pro radar pack is working! It was that the individual stations now fade out and the screen needs to be moved to have stations become visible so choice can be made. Cancel below comment. Have severe wx coming in. Switched to professional radar pack and it will not activate. Did the restore previous purchases and it shows it was reloaded and should be available. However, checked in 'submit diagonstic report' and it only shows 'huricane tracker' and 'wx warning.' While 'layers enabled' shows 'wx forcast,' 'hurricane tracker,' 'radar,' and 'clouds.' Need to get my purchased professional radar pack back.

One of the best, keeps getting better!

Updated review: Just keeps getting better and better. This is clearly one of the best general purpose weather radar apps available. For more sophisticated radar products, e.g., Level II data, relative velocity, etc., look to RadarScope, but for national composite radar, with warnings, hurricane tracking, temperatures, clouds, this app is hard to beat. My only "gripe" is that you can not pause/stop the historical radar animation. It would be nice to have the app load current data (load the historical data in the background), and then allow the user to start the animation and pause as needed.

Greedy

So, I paid for the ad free app. As I was reading the description of the app, I wasn't clear on if Hurricane details were an in-app upgrade or part of the subscription. I purchased the app bc you can usually get a refund on the App Store if it's not as expected. I didn't wait forever either. Maybe a week to request a refund after I found out Hurricane info is only with the subscription. And I don't want a subscription. They denied me a refund. I responded with why I felt I should get a refund and was denied again. I just don't understand why app developers would do that? Just revoke my access and give me a refund. Most apps do, and there is no reason not to, except for greed, in my opinion. Bad customer service. There are many other weather apps with this info that don't require a subscription.

Description

Thanks to everyone for making MyRadar so successful, with over 50 million downloads! MyRadar Pro is IDENTICAL to the free version of MyRadar; it comes without the ads by default. MyRadar is a fast, powerful, easy-to-use weather app that displays animated weather radar around your current location and to quickly show what weather is coming your way. Just start the app; your location pops up with animated live radar, with radar loop lengths of up to two hours. This basic functionality provides the quickest way to get a snapshot of the weather on-the-go, and it's what has made MyRadar so successful over the years. Check your phone and get an instant assessment of the weather that will impact your day. In addition to the live radar, MyRadar has an ever-increasing list of weather and environmentally-related data layers that you can overlay on top of the map; our animated winds layer shows a breathtaking visual representation of both surface winds and winds at the jetstream level; the frontal boundaries layer shows high and low pressure systems as well as frontal boundaries themselves; the earthquakes layer is a great way to stay on top of the latest reports on seismic activity, completely customizable as to severity and time; our hurricane layer allows users to stay on top of the latest tropical storm and hurricane activity throughout the world; the aviation layer overlays AIRMETs, SIGMETs and other aviation-related data, including the ability to track flights and display their IFR flight plans and paths, and the "wildfires" layer allows users to stay abreast of the latest fire activity around the United States. MyRadar also has the ability to send weather and environmental alerts, including alerts from the National Weather Service, such as Tornado and Severe Weather alerts. A new feature introduced in this version of MyRadar includes the ability to receive alerts based off of Tropical Storm and Hurricane activity; you can configure the app to send you an alert any time a tropical storm or hurricane forms, or is upgraded or downgraded. One of the most useful features in MyRadar is the ability to provide advanced rain alerts; our patent-pending process for predicting hyper-local rainfall is the most accurate in the industry. Instead of having to check the app all the time, MyRadar will send you an alert up to an hour in advance as to when the rain will arrive at your current location, down to the minute, including details on intensity and duration. These alerts can be a life saver when you're on-the-go and don't always have time to check the weather - our systems will proactively do the work for you and let you know in advance before the rain hits. In addition to the free features of the app, additional upgrades are available, including real-time hurricane tracking - great for the start of hurricane season. The hurricane tracker provides additional data above and beyond the free version, including the cone of probability for tropical storm/hurricane forecast tracks, and it also includes a detailed synopsis from the National Hurricane Center. The premium upgrades also include the professional radar pack, which allows greater detail of radar from individual stations. Users can select individual radar stations around the US, select the radar tilt angle, and also change the radar product being displayed, including base reflectivity and wind velocity - great for experienced weather buffs looks to stay on top of possible tornado formation.
