MyRadar Weather Radar Pro 4+

Don’t even bother looking elsewhere. I had been a longtime during of Dark Sky, but this app is way ahead in terms of accuracy and sophistication. If you try the free version, I am sure you will quickly upgrade to the paid version to get rid of the ads…then you will really appreciate how gorgeous (and accurate) this app is. It will give me advance warnings of rain later in the day way earlier than other apps and way earlier than radar even shows. I don’t know how they can predict rain so accurately. Also, even more impressive, they immediately alter the forecast with ongoing last minute changes in the weather. I have watched it real time when rain has been approaching, and when the clouds have broken up approaching me, the forecast quickly adjusts. Just a truly amazing app. And you can fully customize its appearance and type of warnings you want. I have never seen a weather app so customizable. And the warnings go to my watch so I don’t even have to keep looking at my phone or ipad. It’s set it and forget it. This app is clearly the head of the class, by a wide margin, in a very crowded field of apps.

This is a really cool compliment, thank you for taking the time to write it up... I'm gonna share it with the crew :) Feel free to reach out to me directly via an email to feedback at myradar dot com - my name's Andy and that comes right to me - I'll send you some tshirts and other swag :)

I received a response about the red flood warning boxes, and thank you Andy for that. However, the opacity changes all weather warning boxes. And, spotting severe thunderstorm tornado warning boxes are next to impossible with the bright red persistent flood warnings. I know they’ve been red for 10 years, but I truly believe you will find many would agree that changing those flood boxes from red to a more subdued color would make the tornado warnings, etc. much easier to find. (As all other radars have done.) You’ve got clouds and rain in blue and purple. And, severe thunderstorms and tornadoes in similar color scheme. I think most would like a change and adapt quite quickly.

One thing would make it perfect.... (yep, 2 stars to 5). These red boxes for river and snow melt flooding are always there.... and because they are in red they obstruct the view of other weather data or severe warning boxes. These boxes are long lasting and a nuisance. I’ve had to disable watch boxes because you can’t see what’s what. The Mississippi and Missouri Valleys are examples of an overload of red boxes that you can’t remove. If there was a way to disable these and other statements one by one, that would help. Then in the event of a severe thunderstorm or tornado outbreak I’d just keep it on this app for instead of switching to another. And quite honestly, severe thunderstorms and tornadoes shouldn’t be blue or lavender... really?

Hey there! You can change the opacity of the warning boxes by tapping the "Warnings and Watches" layer within the Layers menu (3rd icon from the left). We're working on allowing a feature to disable the display of certain warning boxes - but you're right, those warnings are persistent warnings from the National Weather Service, and they're always present :( As for the color of the warning boxes, those were chosen nearly 10 years ago when they were the standard colors from the National Weather Service. We're hesitant to change them for fear of confusing our existing users - they would definitely get annoyed (understood from our experiences). Definitely reach out to me directly for more info via email to feedback at myradar.com - my name's Andy!

Maybe my memory is not the best but it seems the desire to make money above all else is why I am changing from 5 stars to 1. I purchased hurricane tracker two years ago. Being my favorite radar app even though I could track the same data on different apps, I paid to give back to the app, now with this hurricane season it seems to me that if I want that data I have to pay for more subscriptions. Even after refreshing my previous purchases. I click on the storm and get prompted to purchase. I guess I’ll fully make the transition to a different app now.

I've used this for years. In my old position we would turn to this app for fast visuals when preparing water rescues and staging boat teams. Now that I've moved positions, I use the add on that lets you view unsocial radar towers and we prepare based off of what the individual tower shows. Can't say enough about the app. The only addition I would add is an explanation of the wind feature and what elevation that is at. Since obviously you'll see winds going one way and the storms another. Play with the features. You can make this app pretty amazing if you spend the time. Hey, my radar, maybe find a way to link in your travel plans or route or search an exact location so we can see where friends are and what the weather is doing. I've used the app to update family traveling in other states but it would just streamline the process.

You should DEFINITELY not have to pay more than once for the hurricane tracker - please reach out to me directly via email to feedback at myradar.com - my name's Andy - I'll make sure this is resolved.
