The app follows your device language; pick another in Settings → Language TROPICAL • Storm Wind and Precipitation Animation (Pro): smooth GFS or HAFS wind around each active storm, with wind particles, the max wind swath or the forecast rain total • Smooth HAFS reflectivity animation (Pro) • Historical Storms: each storm's model max wind swath beneath its track (Pro) RADAR & SATELLITE • Forecast Radar (Basic): radar loops continue into the HRRR model's forecast • Velocity on the map: darker colors and a "Hide weak echoes" slider that removes ground clutter • Satellite animation plays in step with the radar loop (Basic) ALSO NEW • Record the map or the 3D viewer as a video, or save a snapshot • Storm colors follow your category color settings everywhere • What's New in Settings → About
