Disappointing
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.
