## What is Radar Glance?

Window Compare places three possible start times side by side using the same official hourly forecast. See the highest hourly rain probability, coverage and alert availability before choosing a plan.

HOW TO USE THE UPGRADE
1. Select a location and open Rain Window → Compare windows.
2. Choose the duration and start-time spacing. Review all three windows from the same NWS forecast snapshot.
3. Inspect coverage and timestamps. A lower-peak candidate is identified only when all three windows have complete, fresh data.
4. Freeze and share a report with source, time, hourly evidence and availability limits.

Animated radar, saved locations, Rain Window, timeline controls, map tools and the offline field guide remain available.

WHAT TO KNOW
Official hourly comparisons cover supported US locations and need network access. The highest hourly precipitation probability is not a combined probability for the outing. Missing, partial, stale or future-dated data prevents a preferred-window result. Ties remain ties. An unavailable alert response is not no alerts. Radar observations apply to near-now windows only, and provider data may be delayed or unavailable.

iPhone and iPad. No account required.

### 3.0 — 2026-08-28

Radar Glance 3.0 introduces Rain Window, a focused way to check whether a selected place may get wet during a planned time.

- Choose a point, start time, duration, and rain threshold
- Compare observed and provider-forecast radar at that exact coordinate
- Add official NWS hourly precipitation and active-alert context for supported US locations
- See clear confidence, freshness, cached, unavailable, and missing-forecast states
- Use a redesigned first screen with stable iPhone and iPad controls
- Location permission now appears only after a location-based action

This update also adds stronger response parsing tests, normal-launch UI tests, and more precise privacy and safety language.

### 2.1 — 2026-06-29

Version 2.1 adds a pro field upgrade for Radar Glance.

New Storm Desk:
- Range, storm-speed presets, and ETA estimate from the current map center
- Reflectivity sample with approximate rainfall-rate math
- Beam-height estimate for judging distant radar confidence
- Layer/daylight context and a copyable field brief

New offline Radar Field Guide:
- Ten bundled high-resolution reference sheets covering dBZ, beam height, ETA, distance rings, satellite IR, timeline reading, saved places, offline behavior, and source notes

Also updated App Store screenshots, review notes, privacy/support pages, and test coverage.

### 2.0 — 2026-06-21

Radar Glance 2.0 — a pro upgrade with powerful new on-device tools.

• Range & Bearing: great-circle distance and true compass bearing from you (or a saved place) to anywhere on the map, with an animated compass.
• Storm ETA: an honest "arrives in ~X min" estimate from a storm's speed.
• Radar beam-height readout: see how high the radar beam is at a given distance, and why far-off rain gets missed.
• dBZ ⇄ rainfall calculator: map reflectivity to an approximate rain rate (Marshall-Palmer).
• Saved-location bearing board: distance and compass point to each saved place at a glance.
• Daylight & layer hint: sunrise/sunset and a night-aware Satellite IR suggestion.

All of the new tools compute entirely on your device.
