This is amazing

This weather radar app is amazing a has everything you need you might think £9.99? That’s way to much but it’s totally worth it

12 min of loop

The duration of radar loop provided in the basic $10 app is 12 minutes - not long enough and not disclosed by number of frames in product description - looking for non subscription based app - already subscribed to death

CarPlay!

I have been a long-time user of RadarScope, to help me understand storm severity, direction and vorticity. This newest update now puts the radar screen on my car’s display!

WINNING!

I PAID $10….

And now they want more in yearly or monthly fees, I don’t believe you should have to pay $10 down First. But everybody wants paid more for less! $10 gives you nothing.
Keep the 10 bucks. I deleted it.

Don’t Download

They will charge you without any notice. The app’s quality would only be noteworthy if the year was 1948.
