Radar Extreme - NOAA Doppler App Reviews

This app won’t give you regional or local data outside USA… Most of the functions aren’t available.

You have an excellent write up on this application, yet this is a poorly designed and dishonest app, regarding World data. I live in Okinawa Japan you have no Radar, Local data puts me in the Atlantic . Very disappointed..You should take more pride in your products.

The features are like no other. It’s a beautiful design and FULL featured. Much, much more than i got with other much higher paid apps or even comprable priced. IT’S SIMPLY OUTSTANDING in my opinion. A big thanks to this DEV Team :) 5 stars!

Not much of value in this app. Low quality images that are just links to various NOAA pages. Would not spend the money again.

Radar seems an after thought in this app small and hardly visible you cant get it large enought o see detail… move on nothing happening here.

Use this app all the time and love it - as a ton of useful information and very easy to navigate among them.

This app came in super handy with the flooding disaster in central florida a few days ago, I was able to view one-hour precipitation and total precipitation to see which areas were being hit the hardest. If you’re looking for a good radar app, this is it.

Don’t believe a word of it. This app’s windows are so small as to render it unusable. If you are looking for local pin-point radar accuracy, forget this nightmare.

If you’re a devolper listen up! Here’s what I want in a radar app for the Mac…. I want FULL SCREEN radar, like the My Radar app, on IOS. Simple, full screeen radar, national composite. I don’t need a million fancy options. I don’t want raw radar feeds. This app has spilt screen radars which doesn’t work. The maps are too small. It displays the raw feeds from NOAA. I don’t like it. I don’t want raw feeds from NOAA, I want a composite radar map that I can pan and zoom all over the nation. I continue to hope that somebody, anybody, out there in the Mac development world finally realizes what I, and 90% of the population want. A FULL SCREEN COMPOSITE SIMPLE RADAR for the Mac.

This is a great app. Has more Radar options than any other Radar app Ive tried, and Ive tried them all. It also has TWO local forecasts and lightning radars and 3d graphics. The window can be resized to any size I want and each radar can be resized as well. A big thank you to the devs :)

This application is fantastic, has a huge amount of radars, and lets me see various sectors of the world and USA. Local weather is accurate, and its a nice bonus that the Map shows hurricane locations. Very satisfied with my purchase.

I see the exact same radar at noaa.gov

Easy to use app that presents many radars at my disposal, much cheaper than other radar apps, and the 3D features are very cool :)

Thank you very much, it’s a great app.

viewed on a 15” mbp, the app has an adjustable window & resizable panels within it, the user can resize the radar, resize the satellite views, resize the forecasts. i think Radar Extremes noaa satellite views are better than noaa’s in that they are contained in one of the application’s panels. we live by the ocean & are active sailing, surfing, hiking…it’s great to have a well made weather app all in one big adjustable window & not have to open a browser to surf all the weather sites. for sailboat racing we use GRIBs (gridded binary data) for changing & predictive currents, winds, storms, it’s real nice having an app RE which contains many feaures we want (& need) to play in the sea :) im giving it 4 stars instead of 5 only because i would like to change the interface to 18% gray to tone down the white UI

This radar app is disappointing in a variety of ways: - Current conditions dont display on bottom of window (“No Data", basically, the location information is not properly used. I am in the US, it should be possible to pull current conditions. - The buttons are generally poorly named. For example, satellite imaging is called “World”, National radar mosaic is called “NationaL”, the “Lightning” maps are only avaiable for very limited parts of the US, and the “Map” is an earthquake/hurricane map. Why not provide more descriptive button names. - What is the point of the Solar System view? I am an astronomer by profession, I can’t figure out what the point of the view is other than to add another feature.It moves too fast to be an accurate reflection of where the planets are tonight… just silly. - Doesn’t seem to save settings well. I set up the NEXRAD radar image like I like it, quit, and when I restart all the options are the defaults again.

I can’t see my area on the map because the radar constantly has noise (a big blob of it in the center of the frame), and you cannot zoom in or out, or make the window larger. The window on the right, you cannot move the map around, only fixed views of areas and half of the time it is blank, or moving so fast you can’t tell what is happening. I would really like to have my money back.

No elegance here. Can’t provide local weather forecast and temperatures despite the location being set. Doesn’t update. Predicting snow and giving the temperature as 51 degrees when it is 72 degrees and getting ready to rain. The radar is ok…no local close views. Don’t waste your money. I’m sorry I did!

Better wait until the version number (1.10) gets much higher. This program isn’t ready for general use yet It doesn’t meet the expectations promised. As this review is written, it is 80 degrees in Tucson, AZ, but the program says it is 56 degrees. I’ve named Tucson as my location, but it wants to show me Flagstaff. The 10 day forecast varies widely from local weather and other weather applications. It has potential, but is a long way from hitting the mark as of now.

I’ve got about every concievable weather app out there for both ios and OS X, and this is the geekiest. In a good way. HOWEVER, there are a lot of bugs to be worked on yet, and once they get this thing off the ground and flying, it will be THE BEST.
