Best pro radar app

One of the few apps that show pro radar in Romania. Very good software and optimisation for ios. A few minor bugs and glitches. Ocasionally the pro radar is down for a day or two, but i dont think it is the app’s fault. I also like the rain notification 1 or 2 hours in advance based on the nowcast, it is accurate because it uses the actual radar data, not weather models. I would have liked more pro radar products (storm relative velocity, multiple radars mosaic/composit and maybe a 3d view mode of multiple elevation scans)

And finally, to the best weather plus app for 26/27

This application has finally broken through into the light of day.
I’ve been a passenger on what was a sometimes bumpy journey and I’m not assuming that the trip is over yet!
To the developers: Ted my dog and I thank you for helping to keep us dry and sane, cool when roasting, wind blown while keeping the rocks in the ice bucket! 🧊❄️❄️
So THANKS 🥳🐾🐾💚

Radar is limited

I purchased this app so that we could see when rain was coming at our home in Costa Rica. However, after purchasing the app, I found that it has very little capabilities in Costa Rica.

Amazing

I used a lot of apps for weather a lot but that’s my favorite right now. I love the map Forcast alerts, etc. animation is so accurate and the Alerts also

Widget

I like the app and I want the paid version, but before buying it I want to know why the widget map doesn't update in real time with the app map automatically? thank you
