Always reliable! This app is always reliable. It uses data from the top weather institutions. It often forecast inclement weather correct, within 15 minutes. So when I look at it in the morning and it says its going to rain at 3pm, it rains at 3:05. Pretty good I think. The map with the radar is also very clear and accurate. And the app itself is very reliable. I have had it on 2 different phones and only had to delete/reinstall it once. I almost can't live without it.

The best radar app out there! Believe me when I tell you that I have tried dozens of radar apps and none of them even come close to Radar Express! I will never change again! It loads very quickly, it does not use hardly any power or battery it is straight and to the point, perfect!

Better than the others Originally rated in July 2015, still feel the same. NOAA is the source of nearly all weather apps..In just a few uses, I now use it more than other weather apps... And it's so local.Good in 2015 even better today ! !

So accurate! In recent heavy rainfall this radar stood above Weather Channel app. I was a trained spotter before cellphones and would have felt safer if I had this. Tho I can't go out to spot due to health, I love using this. Thank you!

Simple and easy to use This was my first weather app that I used for my smart phone. I wanted something with a small file size that could tell me current/expected weather from a credible source and a radar that didn't make my eyes or brain explode. A few months ago I tried other weather apps out of curiosity and I came back to this one. The simple radar map option, small ads at the bottom of the screen, and weather warning layout make this an easy favorite.

Update issue Recent up date kept showing a MapQuest background and no rad in normal setting. Light setting worked. Today this app is not nearly what it was before as far as the map and zoom features. Dropped from. Four to three stars.

An accurate radar My other weather app has nice extras but the radar is very slow and lacks precise details. This is exactly what i was looking for, just a radar to fill in where my other lacked. this dont eat up a lot of storage and gos on my sdcard.

Loved this app before Mapquest As a truck driver, I've used this app for over two years. With the Mapquest background, it is now worse than useless. I'm getting ready to uninstall it after this review. So disappointing.

Bobbiann Fitzgerald September 26, 2016

Best radar app out there. This app does it all and fast. You can put the map in motion, move the location about with just a finger, and get an accurate forecast for the day or week. Perfect! AccuWeather eat your heart out!

Susan Torrico August 20, 2016

Never leave home without it Sudden rain showers can ruin a perfectly lovely walk in Florida. I always check my Radar Express before going anywhere to see what kind do of weather is coming my way. Great app. And I've tried several others.

Ken Mitton September 24, 2016

Simple fast radar around me. Quick app. Open and you get the radar view around you. Like fast pop down menu showing a week of temps and weather. No crap. Just fast. You can look at other locations too. Zoom is easy. Low memory needs. Severe weather alerts from NWService show too.

Lucas Niedfeldt July 27, 2016

Great weather app As a former firefighter and an outdoors freak, this app gives more information then any other I've used to date. The resolution on the radar and links to other information are very complete and easy-to-use. I highly recommend this app to any WeatherBug!

Tina Auten July 22, 2016

Radar Express I love this app! When I need to see what is coming my way, I just open it, and the graphics are very plain. I haven't had any issues with this app. I have it on my phone and kindle. It's the best radar app I've seen. Get it, you won't regret it.

August 15, 2016

The best but clunky I would recommend this basic but wholly competent app as a first choice in exploring this world. It's stable, simple, and lacks only in zoom, longevity of the cycle played, and adequate geo location on demand

Timothy Verity September 25, 2016

Great Weather Radar App Living in the Midwestern US means potential thunderstorms or tornados popping up with almost no notice. The radar on this app doesn't have the delay some other apps have. I can see the problems as they happen rather than, " Oh, so that was what the storm looked like. I should have headed for cover. Glad I was lucky this time."

Candy B. July 30, 2016

Best radar map app It's quick and easy to use. Which is especially useful when you live in the panhandle where storms and severe weather can develop quickly. The app also lists the weather hazards for your area.

Paul Meyers September 24, 2016

Very useful app This app is so handy for people like me who work ouside or on the road alot and it's very easy to use. I can see in seconds if I have rough weather coming my way

Susan Spinelli August 28, 2016

Favorite radar app This is my go-to app when tracking storms in my area. My dogs hate thunderstorms and it has been invaluable to me in preparing for the bad weather.

Mage Pro August 31, 2016

Nice App It loads quickly and allows the user to increase the area covered. The ads are disconcerting. They are accidentally touched when trying to move the viewing area. It means I've used the app less than what I'd like to for fear of going someplace I don't want to go.

DJ Deluge July 29, 2016

No longer is accurate This app is not providing accurate forecasts or temperatures and the new radar is very sensitive, and detects brighter colors in storms than what actually will occur. This used to be a very reliable app. Now, it is almost always inaccurate.

August 16, 2016

Simple, effective This app reminds me of the Unix/Linux maxim for software programs, to do one thing, and do it well. It exactly meets the need it addresses. Nice also that it doesn't seek excessive permissions. Nice job, developers.

Anthony Feig July 17, 2016

Fantastic Very fast and frequent updates. Has a low data-use mode. Easy to use while on the move. I have used this to plan outings and contingencies and been very happy with its accuracy. I wish I could buy an add-free version, I would happily pay $5 for that. Ads are not that intrusive, but I'd rate a pay version 5 stars. Thanks for the app!

Chad Harrod September 10, 2016

If this had severe weather notifications it would be the best weather app on the market by far. Tornado warning and severe thunderstorm warnings need to be different color. You can't tell them apart. Please add severe weather notifications

Josh Kahl September 15, 2016

Pretty badass This is a great functioning app. Only thing that would make it a 5 star for me would be an adjustable altitude feature. And at that, I'm not even sure of the feasibility of that. I wouldn't mind paying for it, though.

Matt Hart July 19, 2016

Best app for radar maps in motion I had the old version...then it stopped working, so I checked out all the other weather apps, and I was so disappointed. Glad to have this new version!

Bob Springfield September 11, 2016

Easy to use I like this app. It's a quick way to see what weather is coming your way. I live in an area that has frequent power losses in storms. I can use my phone data to track weather when the power is out.

Weblinksnewsletter July 16, 2016

Best weather radar app This is my absolute favorite weather and radar app. I have found no other app as simple and easy to use and as accurate as this one is. Combine this with a local forecast from any local app or tool that you have and this accurate radar map will give you a real time complete picture as to what's really going on in your area. Thanks to the developer.

Charles George July 17, 2016

Nice ap, but is not up to date in time. Radar is always 5-10 min behind real time. Pesky ad banners. Suppose to b improved map! Worse! not as good as map was before.

Joseph Sunday September 11, 2016

Stupid easy 5 Star! This is the best of the best weather radar apps. Try all of them and then compare. Thanks devs for knowing how to fashion a well thought out app like this one. UPDATE: I tried a couple of different weather apps, not even close. This one is tops, loads instantly, and gets your eyes right on the action without hesitation or distraction.

Richard Rupert July 18, 2016

Good app but is missing some detail. This is my favorite radar app of the ones I have tried. I did find a missing detail on the light version of the map. In western Pennsylvania a segment of I-79 is missing between I-80 and Pittsburgh.

Thomas Thompson August 14, 2016

Just what I needed! I live in Minnesota where the weather can be brutal. We need to be prepared for the worst and this app is perfect way to see what's coming.

Paige Nicholas July 27, 2016

Spot On This app is the first thing I check when we are due for a storm. Hasn't let me down so far and I've been using it for a few years.

Jennifer Rogers September 1, 2016

View I love seeing what is coming. It gives you about a 30 minute window to tie stuff down or run around before the next rain band comes !

Ben Thorson August 15, 2016

Limited, but great at what it does All it does is radar, and it excels. By excel, I mean works, which is apparently a lot to ask for the major weather apps(looking at you weather channel).

September 12, 2016

Flexible Allows moving around on map and seeing nearby areas easier than similar apps. I don't need exact zip to find areas I want although zip works too.

Jon Whitacre August 14, 2016

Very Good App! I used to use Radar Now, but have switched to this app, because it's easier to use, updates weather changes often enough to predict patterns closely and also tracks a larger area, doesn't constantly nag to track your location. But it could be improved by showing humidity. Developers, please add that! Thanks! :)

William Martin August 28, 2016

Tired of ad Now barely comes up sucks! Used to be pretty good.. not anymore. Going back to old faithful Weather channel

Debi Funkhouser September 18, 2016

Updated version WOW, #3 upgrade, now temp is Not Available every single time. Might be time to delete. Radar is good, only reason I gave 2 stars, old version was 5*. Previous reviews : Had given 4 stars but since updating, now 5! It's always been accurate but older version was slow to load. Now it's fast & accurate! Have 3 weather apps but this one is my go to coz it's always correct. Love it!

Kim Kinney September 16, 2016

Indispensable Weather Ap It's from NOAA/NWS. Where ALL the local news stations AND The Weather Channel get their info. Cut out the middle man. Go straight to the source.

dnickens2011 David1968 July 29, 2016

Not bad art all I really like it because there's not very much permissions don't understand why you have to have a lot of access to needless things this is simple and easy and the radar is great just exactly what I was looking for
