## What is NOAA SuperRes Radar US?

An app designed by and for weather enthusiasts, NOAA SuperRes Radar is the only app in that offers access to stunningly beautiful super hi-resolution radar mosaics for the continental US. SuperRes radar has 4 times the resolution of typical weather radar products (250 meters vs 1000 meters), so you will be able to view storm features that can't be viewed in ordinary radar apps. No other app delivers radar mosaics with this kind of accuracy in such an easy to use package.

In addition to SuperRes Level 2 radar, NOAA RadarUS+ offers access to 3 km hourly forecast radar and the following features:

- 3 and 6 day precipitation and pressure forecasts from NOAA weather models
- Temperature overlay
- Snow/mixed precipitation display (only on 1km base reflectivity radar layer)
- 7 day forecasts and current conditions -- just press and hold for a second on the radar map.
- Severe weather (flash flood, tornado, and severe thunderstorm) warnings. Tap on a warning box to display the full warning message from the National Weather Service. Note: these are *not* push alerts. The app must be open to view the warnings.
- Cloud cover and satellite imagery for the continental United States
- Advanced radar layers (echo tops, composite reflectivity, and storm total precipitation).
- Play, pause, and step animations
- Fast zoom in and zoom out
- Choice of radar palettes
- Multiple map styles (terrain, map, satellite, and hybrid)
- Displays time of radar image either as absolute time or relative to the current time
- GPS locator that finds and displays your current location
- Adjust the transparency (opacity) of the radar or cloud cover overlays
- Radar clutter filtering and smoothing
- Automatic refresh when new radar or cloud cover data is available
- Search for a location by zip code, city name, or address
- Legend for radar and cloud cover overlays
- Saves and restores your last location and zoom level

Note: Radar coverage only includes the continental United States. Alaska, Hawaii, and other US controlled territories are not included.

### 3/5 — What happened to Storm tracks

*2026-07-09, version 1.7.2*

This was my GoTo app for years. The 30 minute vectors that showed which way a storm was going in the next 30 minutes made it the number one app. No more watching loops over and over while trying to keep one eye on the time stamps just to see how long I had. It hasn’t shown for a while now even tho I have the Storm Track setting enabled. Please fix and restore this app to its deserved position in my tool box.

### 1/5 — Broken

*2026-06-25, version 1.7.2*

No longer receiving echo top data from NWS servers. They need to push an update with the proper connections to the new servers. This reminds me why I stopped paying for apps years ago. I guess this is why it’s free now!

### 1/5 — Does not work half the time.

*2026-06-14, version 1.7.2*

I’m writing this June 2026. I’ve had this app for years and loved it but now it will go for days without updating the weather. I guess it isn’t supported anymore. So only 1 star from 5.

### 1/5 — It doesn’t work anymore.

*2026-06-14, version 1.7.2*

It hasn’t updated in 2 days. No explanation available on the problem or if a resolution is planned. 

Really nice when it works.

### 4/5 — Great product but has a noticeable bug

*2026-02-02, version 1.7.2*

My only complaint is that at certain geographic resolutions, radar gets truncated.  It presents a flat side.

### 5/5 — dependable accuracy, works great!

*2025-12-24, version 1.7.2*

even after 6 years this is still one of the best apps for precise storm radar data

### 1/5 — Outdated and barely functional

*2025-11-07, version 1.7.2*

I shouldn’t have listened to the boomer who told me to buy this app. It can hardly show you what the current weather is or what the forecast will actually look like, because it’s glitchy and isn’t getting consistent data. Interface is bland and the settings/different views aren’t really intuitive. Maybe this app was good a decade+ ago but there are way better options now. Don’t spend money on this one.

### 1/5 — Needs revision

*2025-09-02, version 1.7.2*

It’s impossible to take this app seriously when it can’t even spell “Gulf of Mexico” correctly. Disappointing.

### 4/5 — Weather radar app

*2025-07-12, version 1.7.2*

And it is just that.   Radar only. I paid for this but hard to believe it doesn’t have a lightning tracker as well.  As free apps provide this.

### 3/5 — Uses the distorted Mercator Projection map

*2025-06-14, version 1.7.2*

The map used is the inaccurate Mercator Projection map which is a distorted and inaccurate view of the land masses. It is meant to enlarge the land masses in the Northern hemisphere. Alaska is smaller than Mexico, and Greenland is substantially smaller than the size shown. Africa is small on the map, but is much larger. The Petersen’s Projection map is a better map to use.
