Description
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, special marine, snow squall, and extreme wind 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 • AllisonHouse 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 • Universal app for Android and Wear OS • Family Library support

I've had Radarscope since 2014. It's the best in my opinion for severe weather. Nowadays, you all got Weather Wise, RadadOmega, etc. I've tried both. Came straight back to Radarscope. Radarscope has the best navigating. A phone app should not be so cluttered to navigate to difference products. The only thing Radarscope needs is to increase the resolution. And not just thw radar res. But the map as well. Light Mode is just ew. Dark mode is better. But, the black map clashes. The map should be gray

I'm very happy with the mobile app. It has enabled me to avoid hail storms several times when driving. In addition to being a great aid for severe weather spotting, it is much appreciated as a "heads up" app to monitor approaching tornadic storms in spring and late summer months.
★★★★★Justin Davis· Dec 19, 2025
Best radar app I've used it's great for when you want to know the location of any storm on radar plus the detail of the storm imaging details

I paid for the annual tier 2 sub in 2024 and in 2025, and was also chard the monthly rate for tier 2. (double charged)
★★☆☆☆Trevor Siders· Mar 27, 2026
3 of 4 radars in Ohio are offline as severe weather approaches. NWS ILN is not reporting that their radar is offline, but it's offline in the app. Same with CMH and CVG radars. Not helpful.
★★☆☆☆Shanna Wallace· Aug 2, 2026
It has a lot of great features for storm spotting, but there is one major flaw: it won't keep my location circle on the map. It disappears after a few secs, so I am constantly having to hit the location button to get it back. This is especially frustrating when I want to look at the storm with a different radar than the one that's closest to my current location, so I have to switch the radar back every time I turn my location back on. Location permissions enabled & I do not have battery saver on

I paid $9.99 to download the app, and I have to pay $9.99 again for pro? WTH?
★☆☆☆☆Pen Wiky· Jul 3, 2026
Absolute scam. Pay $9.00 for nothing. You're going to have to pay an expensive subscription to actually use this stupid app. They also won't refund.
