Radar images are downloaded directly from NWS servers so are always the most current available. When you start the app, the radar images are from the site closest to your location.

NWS Alerts included with the free mode starting in v4.0. Only alerts issued to the your current county are sent and the alerts can be filtered so only the ones that interest you are used.

RadarNow! is a free download with access to Premium features. Use the FREE Standard version to monitor your local radar and receive NWS Alerts or choose to upgrade through the app to Premium if you want to activate the enhanced features. You may try the premium features with our free 5 day trial or purchase premium access for $5.99 for a "RadarNow! Lifetime" pass.

Greatest radar app ever... Can't imagine not having this app because it helps us stay aware the weather so we can take cover if necessary.

This tool is simply amazing whether I am out for a long motorcycle touring trip or sailing in the Chesapeake Bay; it enables me to plan a trip with confidence of what to expect will be coming over the horizon.

The best details in what the weather is doing at your location, this app. makes better sense of a three day forecast (much more accurate) than a one month forecast like the others.

M70%
by M####:

This this app shows real time (slight delay) radar. Forecasts more detailed and accurate than news media.

I used this all the time. It let's me know what's going on around me and I can even time when storms are going to arrive.

It gives me up to date radar image exactly when I need it! Love it so much, had for yrs and when I upgraded my phone for the 3rd time, it wouldn't work. I emailed for help, the got with me right away to let me know the version I had was so old, he didn't know how it worked before!! EVERYthing is great! Love it, will have forever

People in Florida really need to know what's going on with this hurricane including myself in Tampa. At the expense of us this app just put a large blob of storm all over Florida. This simply isn't true. There are other better apps that show what's actually going on with Hurricane Irma. These guys here are just trying to overdramatize the storm.

I LOVE this App! Severe weather notification provides plenty of time to seek shelter if need be. It also provides weather related Local, State, and Federal Warnings and Watches. It's kept me dry plenty of times and Safe more than once!!

Very good for quick accurate check of radar for any purpose. Just upgraded to premium version, the free version is a very good app for the public to get a quick look at radar to see what is coming,even for emergency groups also .the premium version gives you a lot more info. That you can get I highly recommend this app for anyone who watches weather forecast any reason.

Thanks, very quick response inn fixing. New version sucks so I won't upgrade other devices. New version will not display LWX, I have to reposition and refresh. I get weird timestamps and no radar for LWX when it plays. Old version has no issues.

User friendly. Trust it 2 alert me 2 severe weather. Easily customizable. Update: After sev yrs of using this app, it is still my fave. They r improving, even the free version, quite often w helpful new features.

Has worked well for a long time, now it only shows a blank radar screen even when there is rain. I have to clear the cache every time to get it to work

H70%
by H####:

Why didn't Radar Now leave the smaller diameter for radar rain/snow detection? From the next to the smallest Circle, dropping down to the smaller Circle there is no Circle.

Look no more for weather radar app with all u need, nothing you don't. Yiu can OPT OUT of ads! Wastes no resources on pretty graphics, fx, or hype. Spent my couple bucks to save my fave radar or wx station across USA & got a heap o' customization too. Thorough Help in app; EZ-2-contact developer when u just can't work it out. PLS NOTE: For serious radar users. Not for newbies to radar-only, nor for those needing a quickie 5-day forecast à la Weatherbug.

I have used this app for years. But like always someone thinks they can make it "better". The update just made this app terrible. If it ain't broke don't fix it. Uninstalling. And looking for a different radar app

Use this app daily for work. Has saved me quite a bit of money to know when to stop working outside and move on inside!

Great Weather app. More than just a radar app. Like most it's about 5 minutes behind real time. Serves it purpose for seeing what's coming. Great alerts! Much improved over the years. Always improving. This is much more than a local weather and radar app. You can go anywhere there is a radar site. So if you have loved ones elsewhere in the world have at it and check on them with this amazing app!! Love it

Great app to let you know what the weather looks like. Great for traveling as it uses your location for alerts. Love the live radar and it updates pretty fast. Allows you to bypass storms or at least know what you are heading into.

Live at the beach and the weather can be very unpredictable. Storms come out of nowhere. This is a great help.

The new release is great. Don't understand why the activity is so blurry now, though. Have enjoyed this app for several years. Good work!

Would be 5 star radar app if it didn't show as much "clutter" even with the clutter button on. You have to click on a different weather station to look at current location to check if it's light rain or clutter.

LOL I wish I could post screenshots of how the two active hurricanes, including the one the size of Texas off the coast of Florida doesn't even show up. FAIL.

Really like the app for location, alerts, and weather station outage reports. I highly recommend this app, but would like devops team to be more transparent about ratings. See below. For that reason, can only give a 4. Will use in-app link for any requests. Not pleased that devops team says, anything less than 5☆ just brings the overall ranking down as a means to discourage honest reviews. Also devops requests in latest update that any potentially negative feedback or issues only be sent via contact link provided in app. Convenience is one thing; attempting to artificially inflate ratings is another.

This is by far the best weather radar, excellent detail with the maps in this app..the zoom in feature is pretty cool and with the recent updates and layout of how zoom and other controls are makes it even better..way cool you'll like it if you do any kind of outdoor construction.

Loads in a brief amount of time which is wonderful when I need to quick check on the whereabouts of storm clouds because I do much outdoor activities in daytime and Astronomy at night. Dopplar shows cloud movement & locations with pleasing accuracy. I had three different weather apps, but when I tried this one I now happily only use this one !! BRAVO NOAA !! Way to go !!

Im an OTR trucker so i use it alot. I use it in my trip planning to go around weather. I especially love that it shows wind speed and direction.

I've had it for years. I work outside and it has saved me from getting soaked countless times. Pretty accurate

Living as we do in the desert, it is important to know where the storms are to avoid flash flooding. This app is the perfect answer to that issue. It is timely and quite accurate

This is a great app. Whether deciding if it is OK to go to the beach, driving on a long trip, or deciding if I can go for a walk on a cloudy day, I rely on it frequently.

I would like to be able to track hurricanes with the app and show lightning strikes on the live loop as well as data on current lightning storms. This is a small app that has a ton of features.

P70%
by P####:

I'm a truck driver and use the app regularly, I can't think of any problems I've had with it. It's been very accurate and a big help in avoiding large storms, definitely worth the 5 star rating.

Love Radar Now! It's my go to app for severe weather or just to see if there's incoming precipitation.

M70%

It's invaluable in tracking local severe weather. Last year here in Texas we used it to rain during the floods.

Y70%
by Y####:

This is a great app and if you can basically understand the radar picture then you can get a great sense of the weather in your local area. One of the best uses for it was when it started raining while I was with friends in a park. I whipped out the app and told people that it was just a small passing storm. We stayed, it stopped. We might have otherwise left and ended our day prematurely.
