Wish it would use data connection instead of GPS, but this app is incredible for a trained storm spotter.

M70%
by M####:

I have had your app for a long time, and loved it till today. I don't know what's happened, but any radar site I click on tells me it is down or running too slow. If I try to view radar of the United States, the app crashes. Please fix so I can give 5 stars. Running on galaxy note 4.

Since the last update I can't get local radar products to work at all. Don't know if this is a Red Sky issue or the NWS, but the NWS radars load fine on my PC. Otherwise this is one fantastic app!

S70%
by S####:

Great! Lots of features (so many it can be confusing!) Technical terminology in settings gets tricky. But it is accurate and useful!

E70%

Best Weather Radar app on the market. Only one i've found that supports multiple NWS radar products.

Great start! Add more nws options, temp, wind etc.look fwd to updates!

Q70%
by Q####:

Great little app but amazingly no chart to tell you what colors mean on radar. Makes it much less functional than other apps for me. Uninstalled

Best freeweather app

Extremely confusing.

I70%
by I####:

It's an excellent start, the concept is exactly what I'm looking for. In practice though it has shortcomings that need to be addressed before it can really be called roadworthy. Things like remembering the last state and keeping the current location centered when GPS is on would go a long way. Also more frequently updating server is necessary to be useful tracking on the road.

X70%
by X####:

Great radar app but... On my Galaxy S3, if screensave kicks in while viewing this app, RedSky starts you all the way back at beginning (ie, whole world view) and radar images all gone so you have to start all over. It doesnt remember where you are or what you wete viewing: Really annoying. Otherwise really nice app.

But very good resource, I need this because I'm a roofing contractor.

Allows you to select different radar stations along with many other settings which make it useful while on the road for tracking storms.

Would love an animated widget of the radar tho...

Says my location is over 50 mi from where I am. It's raining here but isn't on radar. Then it starts freezing, but not just that my whole phone went black for several seconds. Uninstalling

X70%
by X####:

Radar animations and maps are extremely slow to load. I used to use this program, bit it continues to get even slower. Uninstalled.

Works great.

Tried them all. This is it.

Great radar app. Just wish the location could be found with GPS as well instead of just cell location.
