About Tempest Weather Radar Premium
AD FREE version of Tempest Weather Radar. Tempest Premium also adds double tap zoom and zoom level "memory" and radar animation time-stamp.

Tempest weather radar displays real-time NEXRAD (Next-Generation Radar) and TDWR (Terminal Doppler Weather Radar) animated storm radar images overlaid on top of Google maps.
Weather radar data is refreshed every 6 minutes. Although the default user settings are appropriate for most users, some users like to configure optimal settings for their area and personal taste. Tempest weather radar allows users to change the number of frames per animation, cloud transparency, radar type and range of both NEXRAD and TDWR radars. Storm tracking, ground clutter elimination, image smoothing and rain/snow options can also be controlled. Since the familiar Google Maps is used, the user can enable Satellite View and Traffic View if desired.

Although initially designed as a weather radar only solution, Tempest weather radar can retrieve current local weather conditions, 10 day forecast and hourly forecast data by tapping on the red location icon. Alternatively, "long pressing" on a map location will bring up the weather forecast of that location.
Currently, Tempest weather radar overlay data is available only for the USA and the bordering regions of Canada and Mexico. Also, Tempest weather radar is currently only available on the android platform.
Thanks for trying Tempest Weather Radar. We hope you enjoy it!
This program is under active development.

Of course you have the best weather app available. However, I realize it is not your fault, but the forecasted high temperature is most often at least 10 degrees off. Why don't they adjust to be more accurate? Just need to add the 10 to high temperature forecasted.

When u click on storm icon,this is only app with complete details of storm such as cloud tops, speed and probability of hail,tornado ext. Its not the fanciest radar but I use this app along with radar alive or pykl3 and end up with the most complete info.

Time stamp should be static. Instead it moves when scrolling. GPS icon is almost in the middle of the screen? There should be a setting to disable zoom buttons. These have been requested for some time.

Solid app, worth the money. I would only ask that some flexibility be added regarding location setting - even if it would just be the addition of a "never show again" button on the "no network location available" pop-up (even better would be the ability to set a static location manually).

Used the free version for a long time. Have waited patiently for an add free premium version. The best, non-techie oriented radar app in the store. Excellent. I'm rating 5 stars, but a home screen radar widget, alert/watches/warnings map overlay, and alert/watches/warning notifications would put it out of the park and help me remove some other apps from my tablet.

This is the only one-touch, high definition live doppler radar app that works PROPERLY on all Samsung Galaxy (read: most popular in the world) smartphones. Other doppler apps either: 1. Show low res images 2. Load only part of images 3. Require many clicks to see radar 4. Don't work at all. Tempest has none of these problems, and high res, full screen live doppler radar is instantly available to me 24/7. Flawless! Thank you, Acosticmobile, for this ad-free version! Worth every cent!
