### 2/5 — Dallas has disappeared

*2019-12-10*

I’ve used this app for a while and suddenly Dallas shows data for 9:58-10:25am at 4:02am.  It says nothing is happening.  Other radars show a wintery mix.  I’ve emailed tech support.

### 2/5 — Simple, but lacking 5 dollars worth of stuff

*2016-11-30, version 1.5*

Please add more Doplar radar options such as velocity maps and what not other than that simple and easy

### 2/5 — Use to be a big fan

*2016-08-15*

Working in the weather industry, I use to be a big fan of this app. However over the last several days when doing a loop on the reflectivity, it loops random images from the past, usually 14 hours in the past and then jumps to the latest image. I've uninstalled and reinstalled but no change. I wouldn't be complaining except for the fact that when I went to their website, it took me to a web developer page. Not sure if this app is still supported, big disappointment!

### 3/5 — Needs an update

*2016-08-13, version 1.4.1*

Used this for work every day for the last 2 years until about 2 weeks ago when the radar in motion quit working properly. Sent 2 emails to tech support with NO response.

### 3/5 — It's good but there are better

*2014-09-28, version 1.4.1*

RadarScope is similar and better in my opinion.   This app is fine and does the job, just not quite as good.

### 4/5 — mark

*2014-08-03, version 1.4.1*

Good all around go to. As accurate as others I use. Glad I have it.

### 3/5 — Disappointing, wish it had more to it

*2014-06-15*

This app is cool because you get raw data that is updated ever two minutes, much faster updates than my other fav, NOAA Radarcast, which can take up to 10 minutes between updates - no good in a storm. But, that's about it. It's very simple, too simple I'd say, and some functions just plain fail. I can't get my current location to pop up, just doesn't work. Also, you can only see county lines and highways (no labels either, you have to know the area to guess which blue line is which highway), no street names, etc. to really be able to pinpoint locations. Finally, I wish there was an option to have all radar locations display at once. You can only view one area at a time, crappy!! Also, I accidentally added a location to favorites and when I try to remove it, it won't go away.  Bottom line, the raw data is cool but the the app is kind of cheap Surprising cuz it cost $5, I don't think it's worth it. Also, there are no instructions for anything, and emailing support gets no response.

### 1/5 — junk

*2014-06-03, version 1.4.1*

Not useful.  Wish I could get money back.  You can't see current weather conditions for the entire country.  I wanted that view to see what weather was heading my way and how it was tracking.  Just a waste of money.

### 2/5 — Not accurate

*2014-05-14, version 1.4.1*

Warning not accurate or timely.  Very unimpressed with this app.  Waste of money.

### 1/5 — Radar Pro Doesn't work half the time

*2014-03-01, version 1.4.1*

I doesn't work now. Doesn't  work in Kansas. Worthless!
Don't waste your money!

### 4/5 — Review

*2013-09-15, version 1.4.1*

Great app. Am a storm spotter and i can get radar wherever i am.

### 4/5 — Radar

*2013-08-14, version 1.4.1*

My go to app for weather radar.

### 2/5 — RadarPro not up to the task!

*2013-07-02, version 1.4.1*

This app has not been kept updated. Marginal at best. Support is non existent. There are many other Weather Radar apps that are far superior. Consider RadarScope, RadarCast, Hi-Def Radar and Radar US to name a few. Spend your hard earned cash where it is better served.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Loop Broken

*2024-10-14*

Brojen, choppy loop. Terrible.

### 1/5 — Not so much

*2021-07-11*

Rough presentation of data

### 1/5 — Worked great for hurricane Lee

*2020-09-20*

This app was the best. But support site is no longer. Hasn't been updated in years. Sad.

**Developer response:** Sorry about the delay … but it’s back with a major update.

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2019-10-02*

Images are grossly pixilated, poor resolution, don’t bother wasting space on your device with this piece of software junk.

### 1/5 — App not worth it

*2019-09-10*

I have the IPhone 8 and have constant issues with this app.  No ability to position for my location info, sloppy scrolling, screen locks up or blinks rather then scrolling.

### 1/5 — Very Disappointed

*2018-10-13*

Can’t tell much with this app! What a waste of my money! I thought it would be more detailed of the weather but you can barely make out what’s going on. There are better free apps!

### 1/5 — Poor

*2016-09-07, version 1.4.1*

Won't open!

### 1/5 — Disappointing App

*2016-06-23, version 1.4.1*

I was looking for a radar app to prepare for Florida storms.  For $4.99, this app is worth about $.50.  If you are looking for a good app, keep looking. I would not recommend this one.

### 1/5 — Slow Updates

*2014-12-05, version 1.4.1*

I find the radar updates to be to slow or infrequent to be of much use.  Often precip arrives long before the radar notes the location.  This app would be much improved if radar sweeps were updated every two minutes at a minimum.   Would not recommend this app.

### 1/5 — What a waste

*2014-08-31, version 1.4.1*

I had to give it one star. This app is AWFUL. I've seen better graphics from a two year old. Do not waste your money. I wish I could get mine back.

## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — Radar Pro best of all

*2026-08-19*

Upon comparing many popular radar apps, paid and free, including this one, for over a decade, it became clear in the beginning that Radar Pro was the most useful, practical, simple, easy, reliable at identifying actual rain risk with RT data about to occur within the next hour or so, quickly accurate down to the street/house level. Always opens,runs, never ?Charges. Clearly identifies rainfall amounts, cooling thunderstorm outflow boundary waves, as well as waves of migratory birds!

### 5/5 — Simple, Reliable Weather App That Needs CarPlay Support

*2026-05-22*

I’ve been using Radar Pro for years, and one of the best things about it is its simplicity and clean design. The app does exactly what it needs to without feeling bloated. My only real complaint is the lack of Apple CarPlay support. Being able to quickly check the weather on the car display without grabbing my phone would be a huge improvement and safer while driving. Other than that, I still highly recommend the app, and I would definitely pay again if CarPlay support becomes available. I also purchased the previous version years ago and have been happy with it ever since.

### 5/5 — My location

*2019-06-06*

The app won’t show me my location. It used to. Something wrong?  I love the app.

### 5/5 — John A. Manderfeld

*2014-10-08, version 1.4.1*

One of the best radar apps that I've used. The features I like that storm warnings are highlighted on the map. One other thing that would great if they show storm watch area. Other than that great app.

### 5/5 — IPad App Driven Display

*2013-09-13, version 1.4.1*

This is a nice app with a number of tools that can used for your specific viewing pleasure.  The only issue I have is the limitation to only view the screen in portrait mode.

### 5/5 — Nice!

*2013-08-28, version 1.4.1*

Bottom line I have most of the radar/weather apps. Simply I review and analyze most of them. This app is one of the better ones. I use it extensively when weather is an issue. You can buy this one with confidence.

### 5/5 — Wonderful ap

*2013-07-04, version 1.4.1*

I drive coast to coast & border to border. I use this ap daily. Wonderful graphics & much appreciated info when trip planning. Well done!

### 5/5 — MASTER BAITS

*2013-06-29, version 1.4.1*

This app works just the way it is suppose to. It could give more options on the county's available. Other than that very pleased.

### 5/5 — Excellent!!

*2013-06-17, version 1.4.1*

If you enjoy severe storm tracking this is a MUST have

### 5/5 — Radar pro

*2013-06-09, version 1.4.1*

Great app. Very useful! Superb. Kept me dry many days. The best.
