Noaa Radar Us App Reviews

Great Radar & Satelite app. Loads quick, has a good 1.5 hour time loop and is clear, easy to zoom, and doesn’t draw a lot of data. Only missing piece to make this a perfect radar app is a combination radar & satellite view which this app doesn’t have.

Really like this app. Crisp display, timely, and focused on just what is needed. Would be nice to be able to select time lapse duration (30 min, 1 hr, etc) in settings. Like that you can step image by image through a loop, something that is still absent from a popular expensive paid radar app.

I love this app.

This is my weather app now. Vivid radar images of atmospheric conditions superimposed on satellite or road map anywhere in the continental US. Zoomable, customizable. Press for forecast in a particular spot. Data appears to be accurate. Good value.

The most accurate weather app available.

This app doesn’t do a LOT, but it does what it does very efficiently. LOVE IT!

A great app that provides excellent coverage when needed.

This App is fast and accurate which makes it more useful than its peers. The only drawback that prevents this radar app from getting 5 stars is it is missing the radar-satellite combination view. Other that that it is the best radar app I have used since WU cancelled their Storm App.

This is the best on the minute app

Endlessly begs for a review , which is a shame because otherwise it’s an honest app that works well.

It has all you need.

This is my go to app anytime storms are brewing! I live in Texas where big hail and tornadoes seem to happen weekly but most of my family lives in the heart of tornado alley so I use this app a lot! It’s always accurate and seems up to the minute. I love that it shows “warned” areas, what the warning is and when it expires. Helps me keep up with what’s going on around me and family in other states.

New update: I love the larger map area in general, and especially having the entire overlay menu appear in one shot without having to scroll. Yessss!

Great app. Gives you all you need. Very helpful!!!

Preferable to the big name weather app. Highly recommended.

Try the rest and you’ll come back to this one!

Very simple and informative; nice compliment to Apple’s native weather app.

Has great graphics in radar and has NWS weather watch boxes so you know whether the bad weather Is coming toward your location. Gives last time the radar was updated. Great storm tracks that give directions of storm cells and their direction.

Does what it says it will. Use it daily! Used it for years. Good App.

Wide choice of radar views to see what is heading your way. I use this app daily to stay informed.

It does what it says. Nice app. I like being able to check on storm systems occurring at my location, or other locations where friends or family live. The current location function is nice because it pinpoints you through the cover of the rain or clouds. I especially like the hybrid map view. I can actually zoom in to see my place like on google maps. It hasn't frozen on me and I have used it repeatedly all day long during various storm situations. Thumbs up.

Excellent- very accurate.

Your last update seems to have removed the locations that I had saved so I could quickly go to those to check and it seems that you removed the ability to save locations at all. I travel a lot and I liked the ability to quickly see the radar at home and also check the locations where my children live. I don’t like your app so much now that this feature is gone.

This is a great app. The info shown here is very reliable and you can select different views for the kind of weather you want to see.

Update after a year of using frequently: I keep trying to find a better weather radar but the fact is that this is still the simplest fastest most reliable free radar app. No fancy gimmicky bells and whistle‘s. Note the file size on this app only six megs! Also note How this app uses very little cellular data which is very important for anyone on a limited data plan.

Long time user. Simple, effective, great weather app. Superior to other apps I have used.

Always accurate and easy to use.

I am a weather junkie and have multiple weather apps on my cell phone. None are better than RadarUS.

Love it. Reliable. Tells you when their feed is slow. Used it for year with great satisfaction. Have others on my device but this is the go to.....

Using it right now while hiking to track a storm - I’ve tried others and none seem to work as well!

Amazing app, have tried so many that try to do too much, this app shows with great accuracy the current rain/snow/thunderstorms with an easy to read map. Love it!!

App loads quickly, can be focused to a small area or all of the US, and can actively what is expected in the next 6 hours. Colors are bright and easy to interpret for predicted precipitation. Excellent purchase.

I love this app you can see watches and warnings and even get your local forecasts

Use it weekly and is very reliable.

Fast, easy to use and accurate!

I love this app because it is so accurate. I even use it on my boat.

I love the app and use it just about everyday. In today’s world of exaggerated news including the weather , all I want to do is see the real situation with the information presented without the hype! Put simply , you see the weather in real time without commentary. I analyze what is important to me. What’s not to like?

I use this app nearly every day. Easy, efficient and informative.

This is my go-to weather app.

Very helpful, good graphics, reliable and worth the money for upgrade.

The radar is nice. It doesn’t have any hourly predicted forecasts.

I live in north Florida and rely on this app for kayaking - it has always been accurate for me

Excellent program. Works smoothly on my iPad 1. More coverage of Latin America would be nice. (That was years ago.) I've used it on my iPad Air for years now. I also have other weather apps but this is still the best.

This is my go to app for severe weather on my iPad. I believe I check this almost twice or thrice day, especially when I am setting out. A very simple app that works reasonably fast.

I love this app! Very accurate and helpful.

Most all free weather apps are bloated with huge file sizes and are slow to load updated radar. They have too many complicated layers and try to do everything. This little app is only 7 megs whereas other weather apps are between 75 and 150 megs. So it’s fast and does it’s job very well in the radar department. A huge plus for this app is that the map shows practically the entire screen which is a great thing for those who use the smaller iPhones. No more clutter intruding on the precious screen real estate. Today I got to test it extensively in southeast Alabama with numerous pop up thunderstorms and it ALWAYS updated in 5 minutes or less. I use another app for basic weather forecasting etc. that is more detailed in that regard and it’s a free app called BeWeather, together with this simple but great radar app makes for a great combo. Highly recommend.

Works for me as advertised.

Ap locked up on me for a day . Working ok for the moment

I live in Florida, and I rely on RadarUS every day, especially in the rainy season. It’s accuracy allows me to plan my day and avoid getting trapped in dangerous storms. It’s my favorite app.

App provides me and my family timely insights into the size and strength of a storm and shows us our relative location in the storm.

I use this app a lot. But, I can't install it on my iOS 11 devices. Any plans to update it?

Great application for tracking showers and thunderstorms and precipitation on radar.

What a time waster

Use this app often, especially during severe weather season. Good display, frequent updates.

Update your app to be iPhone X compatible please

This app is very accurate. I love all the info they give for the location your in. It has help me make decisions whether to travel or not.

We live out on the prairie, being able to track storms is a life saver. Love this app!

I studied to be a pilot and learned to read weather maps which are critical for flying small airplanes. Weather is a show-stopper for small planes. This app from NOAA is very accurate and informative; particularly when tracking weather movements over the previous hour. I no longer fly, but I can precisely predict how much time I have to get home before the downpour hits. Ha. This doesn’t have forecast or other info, but it’s great for anticipating incoming imminent weather.

This is a straightforward, effective, and reliable app which also takes up very little space on your device. I really like it!

Great app

I have a feeling the reviews for this app are fake. I paid the 3.99 to upgrade and I still have ads. I don’t notice any improvement from the upgrades so I shut down the app and opened it again as instructed... no change and still with the ads! Seems like a scam to me.

The detailed map is so good that it is my first choice for finding local information.

This app is the first one I check every morning! Great work!

This app knows where the storms are and it is a very helpful app when preparing for going to work!

Love this App and can’t live without it!! Always spot on with the weather and radar is a must have!

Excellent app. But if I open mine in landscape mode and turn my iPhone to portrait mode the app displays incorrectly. This has apparently been caused by the new iOS.

I would love to give this app a 5, but the last 3 phone updates disabled the radar portion and I had to delete the app and reinstall it to get it to work.

Best on the market for the price.

Love the forecast feature

I use this radar app nearly daily to track inbound rain and/or storms. It’s important to see where my location is related to the storm system coverage. It’s always good when you find yourself on the edge of some heavy weather. Tried other apps but I always rely on this one for my visual reports.

Edit and downgrade: Am downgrading to four star from five star. The reason because in the latest update I no longer have the option for full screen of the radar. I am now unable to temporarily remove the bottom toolbar which in Treut at two special screen real estate when I want to look at the radar map. Why in the world with a developer remove that feature which is one of the main reasons why I paid for the subscription and gave it a five star originally.

With a tap of my finger I am able to see the weather in my locality and further through the United States. Color coding of weather conditions makes conditions easy to read. Have used this app for years and it has not disappointed! Highly recommend!

It always works. Always. Accurate and intuitive. Simple to use and understand for anyone. Yet you can lift the hood and make choices (show cloud cover, base reflectivity, cloud tops, etc.) for those who know what they want.

I routinely use this to see when to expect rain and storms.

I like this radar better than the others. It’s clean and simple but accurate. It’s my go to for radar information! And I appreciate the warnings with the expiration time on them. Super helpful during Tornado season.

My go to radar app!

I have been using this app for several years. And it has never let me down. I can look up whether radar wherever any of my family members are throughout the US. This includes being able to track hurricanes for family members who are down in the southern part of the US. Thank you for such a great app! I only gave it four stars, because I am a believer that an improvement can always be made somewhere.

This is a very helpful app. I use it to predict exactly when bad weather will arrive.

I use it all the time to a**** local and other US locations weather.

Beautiful underlying topo map with fast easy to read radar images.

Must have! As a flight instructor accuracy and the ability to select different scan angles is a must. This app has it all. Make it simple or technical. Loads quickly and a gas to tinker with. Every aviator should have 2 radar apps. Get this one!!

Lets me get my daily walk in, if rains coming, I'll know about it! Use it every day! As a Motorcyclist great on long trips. Still good.

I use this app every day and would be lost weather wise without it! It shows exactly where the weather is in my area, what the weather is like and helps me to even know when to take my dog out between the rain drops. Can’t live without it. I like it’s simplicity and accuracy. Would recommend this app!!!!!

Never let me down ... cheap at twice the price!

Was perfect now portrait mode not working. Bug or bad move, either way I am using less.

I’ve been using this app for years. With my job I drove a lot, it always helped plan for what was ahead.

I have been using this app for a long time, and it has always been great. However the latest release has forced the landscape view on my iPad. I don’t know if that’s a bug or a design decision. Either way portrait mode needs to return. Until such time I can no longer give this five stars.

Like the watch and warning boxes that appear when a cell is for real. Accurate and dependable for this aviator ✈️

Very accurate, at times has 1 minute past radar. I've used this app for nearly three years and coworkers come to me to find out if when and how long rain will last. Nobody mentions the complete world map which I've used while driving to try and miss flooding or head through open storm areas. This and the full radar and forecasts from noaa full web pages are the mainstay for planning the day/evening

Very accurate and up to date weather maps , much better than others I've tried. Even if you have other weather apps I suggest installing this one as a backup , I'm sure you'll find it very dependable.

On the golf course, where it’s sometimes critical to know if that rainstorm is going to pass anytime soon, my foursome has learned to put their phones away and trust my NOAA Radar - it’s simply more accurate than the others and it’s graphically better as well. Plus, I’d shrink the screen you can see where rain is anywhere in the country which is kind of cool.

This app worked great for a while. It started crashing every time I opened it. So I deleted it. Then went back and downloaded it again. Same results. It boots stays on for a few seconds then crashes. I deleted it again. I want my money back!!!

It may not be as pretty as some of those other radar/weather apps out there. But because I obsess over accurate weather information I have tried dozens of them and this one always comes out on top for radar.

I have many various weather apps as I spend a considerable amount of time out on the big waters of Lake Superior. This is my "go to" radar app when I need to know what's going on with approaching weather. Also, I'm a real estate broker and spend considerable time way back in the woods of the upper peninsula. Whenever I'm heading into the backwoods, I set this app to the satellite image mode for pinpoint accuracy of my location. This is one of my top 5 apps out of more than 100 on my device to choose from!

Great app. Love it!

Works very nicely. Seems accurate and reliable. Does what it says it will. One of my favorite radar apps.
