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!
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.
Restore purchases all the time
I’m getting tired of being asked to restore purchases ALL THE TIME. I have a paid for Pro Tier 2, verified in my Apple subscriptions. Same Apple account for everything. To make matters worse it asks me for my Apple password. How do I know this isn’t the app stealing my password?????
Useless
Paid $10 and it doesn’t show anything, all features require a subscription upgrade for more money. Do yourself a favor and download windy.
So close to perfection…….
So, I’ve been a fan of this product for almost 15 years now. It’s an amazing product that is worth every penny, and is constantly evolving and improving. And with the new Apple CarPlay app, it really changes the game.
Is this perfect though?
No. Not even close.
The devs should have sought wider input about how the interface should function. I get some things may still be restricted by Apple, like touch zoom.
But they could have made a more intuitive radar selection…… like if you tap the current radar site name, it should have come up with a submenu with radar sites or changed the display to tap the available radar sites in the current view.
And they could have made a submenu to where you can change the displayed radar product just by clicking the currently displayed product name.
Things like this would make the CarPlay application even more intuitive to use, and safer for use while the vehicle is in motion instead of having those functions buried in main menus.
But this new CarPlay app is a glimpse into a beautiful future that if their devs make some additional tweaks, will change how people access high quality weather data on their mobile entertainment platform of choice.
So keep on evolving, RadarScope…. And keep on pushing forward like you’ve done since the beginning.

EXCELLENT!
Absolutely the best weather radar app out there. Now with Apple CarPlay!!! YES!!!
A great app got even better
RadarScope has always been my “go to” app for radar images, lightning, severe weather warnings and more. However, the latest update with CarPlay integration is an absolute game changer. Once I saw this new feature, I had to try it out. To be able to change radar sites and loop radar images, while watches and warnings are superimposed on the map while driving is extraordinary. Simply put, it will change how I travel. Well done, RadarScope.

They charge for the app and then expect a subscription
$10 for the application, then extremely limited without a subscription. I would avoid this. I would understand either charging for the app or for a subscription, but doing both is unreasonable.
Best weather radar app!
Thank you for finally adding CarPlay support!
The best radar app I’ve used
Now with CarPlay support, which other apps hide behind a paywall!
Great but 1 thing
My favorite radar app. Please add ability to filter products or create a favorite set so I don’t have to scroll and hunt.
Amazing Analysis
Been using pro tier 2 for years and it gives raw data, quickly and multi-frame on computer gives you a better look into what’s going on. Love everything about RadarScope and will continue to use it!
Filter Watches and Warnings
There should be a way to filter watches and warnings to a particular geographic region. I don’t really care about what’s going on 2,500 miles away.
CarPlay Is Finally Here
Update: They finally have CarPlay
Prior Review: 3/5
I love this app, but missing CarPlay for even a tier 1 subscription is a big miss.
They have competitors who have CarPlay options.
To level set… prior to Apple’s ruling to allow weather apps in CarPlay my wife had to use RadarScope to navigate us through two merging storms while I was driving (timing, etc)…. Now I just use a competitor of theirs if I’m driving. Their competitor in question helped me to avoid tornadic activity as I was driving family home from the airport.

Enjoy this a lot
Love watching in stormy weather. Have the first Pro step and it’s worth it to me. Super-flexible, with everything from multiple radar displays to satellite and soundings. Haven’t found anything comparable. I have bookmarks all over the country to follow severe weather, but mainly focus on local weather, lightning, warnings, etc.

Gulf of America - really?
I’ve used (and loved) this app for years. I was very disappointed to discover today that the company caved to the nut job in the WH. I won’t be continuing my subscription when it expires.
Good, but v4 was better
There is very annoying lag when panning and zooming the map using a trackpad that wasn’t present in v4. I agree with other reviewers that map features have become harder to visually discern as well. Otherwise still one of the better raar apps out there, just disappointed by the usability regressions.

Last update fail
The ability to use widgets disappeared with the last update. I’ve used this paid app with a widget on my Home Screen for a few years and now it’s gone. Thanks a lot RadarScope 👎
