Updates your location, speed, and direction to SpotterNetwork just like the windows client. Set update times from 2 minutes to longer with the onscreen slider. Also use the Celltower triangulation instead of GPS to save on battery power.

In Settings add your SpotterNetwork Spotter ID to the setting menu. Be sure to add your encoded number/characters, not your Name or Callsign.

Be sure to also get Rapid Report for Storm Chasers. The first app to provide a simple mobile interface to the new SpotterNetwork reports API. Chaser Location is the official Android client app for SpotterNetwork.

Note: If you are not seeing your location on SpotterNetwork or any of the feeds but this app shows success. Please go to the SpotterNetwork website and manually enter your starting position once. New accounts must do this only once and then you will show.

Also: Be aware that you must submit 5 quality reports before you will show up on the map. Please make sure you meet this requirement before looking for your dot on the map.

I've been using this for well over a year now. No issues at all. Works smoothly & issues little resources. Easy to set up and immediately found my location. Being a storm chaser, this app is an important tool for me. (Samsung Galaxy Note 5)

I like it but it will not keep updating my location at all times. It will just stop, then i have to get in to the app to update it.

Great app to quickly report your location. Just make sure you have location services on! It runs in the background. Also really nice interface!

Only see the "Enter Spotter ID" page. Cant access the maps. Was working fine a month ago.

Reports GPS location to spotter network. Works without mobile data.

W70%
by W####:

I really like it. But sometimes, there is this really weird like code talk. Like location= false or something like that. Otherwise, great app. It rarely has bugs and crashes.

Y70%
by Y####:

A bit buggy sometimes (sometimes have to open it twice for it to get a lock, and end background service twice to end it) but generally works well and once it's running, seems to report more regularly than other apps with integrated spotter network.

B70%
by B####:

After the update it will I keep my current location

K70%
by K####:

This app has yet to show my current location on the map. I suspect I need the full Windows Client for that option, as far as I can tell it's not showing because the website SN isn't showing me as active. If the app had a FULL interface with SN I'd give it 6 stars.

Update 02-22-2014: Worked with the developer on a problem and he was very nice on getting me up and running. There seems to be a minor problem with the galaxy S4 (not all of them, just a few) and he sent me an earlier version. I installed it and all works well. This is the best service I have ever had on working on an app problem. Raised the 2 start to a 4 star. Thank you very much.

My name is Sean Kiaer from Trucker Weather Watch. I am not much of a techie so when it comes to apps and stuff and getting them to work I am kind of lost. Any how I just bought a new Razr Maxx from Verizon and I love the phone. I am also a NWS mobile storm spotter. Any how I was having troubles getting the app to work and so I sent an E-Mail to Verne the developer of the program. He went so far as to stop his Bicycle ride and chat with me to get things figured out. No mind you how many customer service people have contacted on a sund and they really don't give you the time of day let alone answer there E-Mail. Well Verne stopped what he was doing with his mom none the less and took the time to get me up and running. AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Great Product now that It works and Even better customer service. As such I am proud to announce that Chaser Location is the Official App for Trucker Weather Watch. PS I wish there were more stars to rate this Product and Service Because I would make sure that it had at least a million Stars.

I was able to stop using webcam max and the spotternet client by using this app on my phone. That means my laptop went from a dual core 15 inch to a netbook that can ride in my glovebox. Great app!
