Radar Pro is an interactive Weather Radar application for anyone with a need for graphical weather updates on the go. It allows you to view the most up-to-date weather radar data - direct from the United States National Weather Service NEXRAD Level 3 Radar Network. Coverage includes the entire 50 states and Puerto Rico. What sets Radar Pro apart from other weather radar apps is that Radar Pro receives radar data directly from the National Weather Service operational servers. The images are in their true, original format and not a smoothed graphic - smoothing any data reduces its accuracy. This means the radar data is the most accurate view of precipitation freely available to the public. Set the Radar In Motion -- easily begin an animation loop to view storm motion over the past several minutes. Know exactly where a storm is and where it's going and how it could impact you -- set the radar image in motion and easily begin an animation loop to view storm motion over the past several minutes; and with one touch, your current location is marked on the map so you'll always know where you are in relation to precipitation or severe weather warnings. Radar Features: ● Level 3 NEXRAD display to 248 nautical miles ● Animation ● User Configurable Data Updates Rates ● Favorite Radar List ● Radar Site Status Information ● Complete US coverage including Alaska, Hawaii, and Puerto Rico ● 154 Radar Sites Map Features: ● Auto radar selection ● Pinch to Zoom In and Out ● Swipe to Pan ● Complete US/Canada/Mexico outline ● Cities and Towns ● State Boundaries ● County Boundaries ● Major Highways ● Radar Selection via Map

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Radar Pro at 4.5 against Hazy's 3.0. Radar Pro also leads on ratings volume (167 vs 2) and update cadence (every 3 months vs every 12 months). Hazy's advantage is review sentiment (80% vs 63%) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 17.6). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Radar Pro holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Radar Pro has 167 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 63% of Radar Pro's written reviews are positive against 80% of Hazy's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Radar Pro ships an update every 3 months, Hazy every 12 months. The most recent releases landed on October 16, 2026 and October 7, 2026 respectively.
