Great for keeping track of storms while traveling as it not only shows you the radar, but your current position on the map.

In the four years that I've had an android, this is the first app I've paid for. This is the best radar widget out of the very few that exist. My only suggestions are to add a start loop button to the widget and a forecast widget. Nice work! Response.... Tennessee Radar has loop in widget.... still like yours though :)

What happened to the great refund policy... This app wont update and each time I have sent an email to the address specified, it bounces back.... What's the deal?

The app is generally good however there is a button for advanced maps that says when pressed coming soon. It has said that for as long as I have had it. That has been at least several years.

Radar went down for a couple of days but the update fixed it. Resave all your options and reload the map if it's still not working. App is fast and very easy to use with A+ support. Highly recommend.

Since the latest update settings labels appear light gray on a gray background, hard to read. I think pinch and zoom used to work, doesn't now. AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 2.

Great radar coverage! Helps us know when to give up on the course, or wait for the rain to pass us by.

Slide menu is way too big when it is closed and the zoom controls are in the way. Both should be horizontal and in the lower corners.

Good map quilting and radar choices. Long animation option to better see the direction of slow moving storms. NWS text forecast interface very convenient. Love this app.

Great, simple app. Would it be possible to include velocity as a layer? Edit: it has become nearly impossible to load a usable map over LTE connection, even with good speed. Sure it's not the app's fault, but my carrier (us cellular).

CANNOT get the widget to work over cellular connection. Always get error downloading. Works great over WiFi but does me no good when I need it most. Please, please look into this. Did as you asked. That isn't the issue.

On Verizon Bionic phones. Going to try rolling back "update." Yes, that worked. The "update" broke the app for the latest Verizon version of the OS.

This is the best radar app around. Love it. Simple and elegant presentation. I particularly like the fact that the data is presented as a composite - you don't have to choose a radar station to view. It would be great even at 3 or 4 times the price! (Wish it was available on iOS, too!)

I uninstalled it shortly after purchase. Saw some updates so reinstalled..... still a worthless app.

Watchdog alert for excessive cpu utilization. Also, no automatic reloads. Radar detail is excellent, however. Will install future release.
