It is nearly impossible to get it to scan where you want it to show.

Simply doesn't work any more. Used to be great. Now according to it theres no precipitation anywhere in the world

It gives me what I want, a good radar information and graphics​ without commercial advertising. Google's apps give me the other information about weather. I like it.

Does nothing. These people writing reviews don't even know what real time is. It's not real time. Doesn't even show movement. Everything is just imposed on the map, and you have to figure out which way the storms, etc are moving. Duh?

It took me a long time to find a radar that works well with a 12 year old phone. Its simple and pleasant to use. I have nothing bad to say. Good job!

The map and the rain resolutions are fantastic, but the rain loop is too slow. Im ready to pay for this App when it allows me to control the loop settings, or it increases the loop speed

Love the display only one thing you should put the NWS radar sites so we can have a live scan with the beam

Radar data is 5 to 10 minutes behind. In tornado alley that's life or death.

Good graphical display and user interface, the radar data is at least as up to date and accurate as what I see on local TV stations, but without the wait. The app could use some improvement with location... When its raining and im indoors, i usually cant get a gps lock, so the app doesnt know where i am. It would be nice to store locations, and/or to be able to manually key them in.... Often radar data obscures the map. A star or arrow or something to indicate the location on the map would be useful for the same reason. It was free, and ive seen no ads, and its not a datahog.

My wife and I are Storm Spotters and the ability to scroll the animation forward and backward is an iconic option. Storm Tracks and Range / Time rings would be even more awesome!

Uncluttered display, clear and effective user interface, timely radar refreshes. Just needs a marker to show My Location.

You need to put a graph on it so you can see what the percentage is with rain or temperature!!!!! :) please put that in the next update

It used to load much faster on my Nexus 7, now it takes much longer. But still a great radar app.

Not sure if I'll give better rating yet.

T70%
by T####:

Has sharp smooth radar not the blocky type I see on most radar apps. Simple satellite or street view. The bad - doesn't differentiate between rain snow and ice. I just uninstalled weather channel app cauz latest update filled it full of ads. No ads at the bottom of this app... Yet.

On a Galaxy Tab S, This App is REALLY REALLY SLOW, it does what it should, but nothing shows much in Alaska and that Area has Some Serious Weather There, Not much in The Settings Either, (None), Another thing I don't like is I have to press a Button for it to start and then WAIT AND WAIT AND WAIT FOR IT TO LOAD JUST TO SEE IT, The Image is Sharp Very Nice, it just needs to be Automatic, and have some Settings for it, maybe like a Few Different Favorite Places, I will change my Rating if it is Smoother and Automatic, All and All it is a Nice Looking App Sharp, I really like The way it Zooms In and The way it Looks when Zoomed In, so just a few little things and it could be the Best Out There, Thanks,

RADAR is accurate & in real time (syncs with The Weather Channel & local news radars). Good graphics, adjusts for close to expanded views. Takes just a few minutes to set it to your own preferences. No need for extras like severe weather alerts, which are already turned on in device app settings. VERY PLEASED!

Load time is slightly less than screen timeout. But if jostled, the load restart all over again.

Its a great app to look at but there is one issue. I don't know if I haven't found it yet but this app could really use a location statues. The radar always leads to Southern Florida when I live in Southern Indiana. I'm starting to get tired of scrolling up and finally finding where I am. But other than that, this app is the best one I've found!

The graphics are downloaded but are not displayed. Does not work on tablet or Nexus 5

Nice Google map with location, but date/time stamp is yesterday... no data overlay. Which is probably how it looked yesterday, but that's not really helpful now.

S70%
by S####:

I have a 4G phone, and this radar is always is slow to load the looping animation. Not to mention after I've started the loop, no matter where I touch the screen, it starts all over! Another frustration is have is when tap on Location is does a full zoom out. Uninstalling. Using another app.

Very usefull but if it had a scale for miles and killomitres to tell the distance betwen the storm and one place. but other wise perfect.

Best radar map I could find. Simple and well done!

M70%
by M####:

Very, very slow to load whether maps. When it loads the current map, it stops, even though it is supposed to get maps from the past two hours so you can see approaching patterns as an animation. Just didn't work, either with 4G or WiFi.

Too slow to load and not showing the snow in Ohio Valley from Sandy storm. It's free though.
