### 5/5 — Works great - Easy setup

*2024-04-02*

I needed an easy way to update my location for RadarScope and this app worked perfectly.

**Developer response:** Glad our app is working great and assisting those out in the field keeping citizens safe.

### 5/5 — Official Spotter Network

*2024-03-10*

Storm chaser Maci Here. This app works perfectly with the spotter network. When asked to enter your ID, you need your application ID (not spotter ID,) & it can be found on the spotter network when you log on. After you enter that, you then need to make sure & set your location sharing to "Always" on your settings for the app, or it will not run your location to the spotter network. 
Tested app on radar scope & can see my signature clear as day. Updates very fast. Awesome app for certified storm spotters. Works 100% no issues.

**Developer response:** Maci, glad you are enjoining our app and it is simple to use. When developing the app that was our focus.

### 1/5 — Nice App, But…

*2023-12-14*

The app crashes after opening. This started with the latest update. Tried to report it on the web form but it doesn’t work either. So I had to try and let the developer know with this review. Great app when it works!

**Developer response:** My apologies, the form is now fixed on the website site. Can you go ahead and submit there and we can work through a resolve.

### 5/5 — Nice Spotter Location App!

*2022-11-02, version 1.1*

This app does exactly what it says it does. Working great for me so far. Just make sure it’s your Application ID you enter and location services set to “Always”. Great app Thank you Randal!

### 1/5 — Doesn’t Work with Spotter Network

*2022-06-28*

I enter my Spotter Network ID correctly.  The app never connects to Spotter Network.  The app says wrong ID or ID not updated.  SMH

**Developer response:** Thanks for the feedback, make sure you are entering your Application ID and not your Username or Public ID. This can be found by logging into your spotter network account and going to account settings. How to find this ID can also be found by tapping the help button within the Spotter Location app.
