RadarScope is an AMS-award-winning weather visualization tool that empowers meteorologists, public safety officials, storm spotters, and weather enthusiasts to view a full suite of single-site radar data and related severe weather products. Your initial purchase provides professional radar visualization in a fully native app, free from distracting and invasive practices, with optional subscription packages to add even more capabilities.

Whether you’re scanning for a mesocyclone’s tell-tale hook echo, pinpointing the landfall of a hurricane’s eye wall, or identifying velocity couplet, hail spike, or debris ball signatures, RadarScope displays native radar data in its original radial format. You see what the radar sees almost as soon as the radar sees it, with automatic updates every two to ten minutes depending on the radar’s scanning strategy.

Your initial app purchase includes the following:

• Full suite of single-site radar products for the US, Canada, Guam, Denmark, Finland, and Germany • 6-frame radar loops • Two built-in providers for radar data • Tornado, thunderstorm, flash flood, marine, snow squall, extreme wind, tropical, and other warnings in the US • Selected severe weather warnings in Canada and Australia • NWS-generated storm tracks with hail, TVS, and mesocyclone attributes • Inspector and distance tools • Color palette options for radar data • Weather Pulse data plan integration • Spotter Network integration for storm and location reporting • mPING integration for submitting weather reports to NSSL • Bundled maps with political boundaries, water bodies, and major highways, optimized for low-bandwidth use • Support for widgets and complications • Universal app for Apple platforms, including Apple Watch and Apple TV • Family Sharing support

RadarScope Pro Tier One is an optional annual subscription that adds more features for tracking severe weather:

• 30-frame radar loops • Cloud-to-ground lightning strikes • Severe weather watches in the US and Canada • Special weather statements in the US and Canada • Mesoscale convective and precipitation discussions • SPC convective, tornado, hail, wind, and fire outlooks • WPC excessive rainfall outlooks in the US • Local storm reports in the US • Custom color palette support • Multi-pane display (2 on phones; 4 on larger devices) • Family Sharing support

RadarScope Pro Tier Two is an optional annual or monthly subscription that transforms RadarScope into a more complete visualization tool for a larger suite of weather products, including:

• Everything in Pro Tier One • 50-frame radar loops • A third provider for US radar data • 30-year archive of NEXRAD Level II radar data • 6-year archive of NEXRAD Level III data • 30-day archive of super-res and non-US radar data • 20-year archive of NWS bulletins • GOES satellite data • Multi-Radar Multi-Sensor (MRMS) data • Real-Time Mesoscale Assimilation (RTMA) data • GFS, ECMWF, HRRR, HRW, and NAM forecast model data • Surface observations • Atmospheric soundings in the US • Hail size, hail probability, and azimuthal shear contours with a 30-day archive • More detailed transportation and satellite imagery maps • Custom color palette support for GOES, MRMS, RTMA, and forecast products • Server-sent events for radar and warning updates • Cross-platform subscription sharing on up to 5 devices • Family sharing support

If you choose to buy a RadarScope Pro subscription, it will be charged to your App Store account. The subscription will be auto-renewed within 24 hours prior to the end of the current period at the same price you originally paid. Subscriptions may be managed and auto-renewal disabled via your App Store account settings after the purchase. Once purchased, the subscription cannot be canceled during the active subscription period.

Don’t pay unless you want subscription
     
by Gray lady fan · July 5, 2026

The paid app sucks, all the functionality requires an additional monthly subscription. If you want to buy all that, it’s great, but they don’t tell you how little you get for the $10 payment. I’m deleting. Wasted my money

Good.

Not worth it. Very limited options for the $9.99 version.
     
by George316! · April 29, 2026

Doesn’t even do composite imagery for the $9.99 version… You can only select one radar side at a time. Really poor, uninstalling

Best Radar App
     
by LarryAYS · May 23, 2026

Hands down. None other even come close.

It was great
     
by Hello Neighbor 2.02 · June 22, 2026

This should be used every day, accurate weather, via radar of course, yet I wish when you go to look at the warning it should have the type of warning like tornado emergency, considerable severe thunderstorm warning etc. Overall a great app.

Good app during tornado season

It’s likely saved my butt a few times!

PLEASE FIX super relativity radar
     
by TheMabster · June 12, 2026

Subscribed the Pro Version. Usually works great but it hasn’t been working for the past couple of days. Need to fix the super relativity. Only the digital relativity works right now.
