I like Radar Omega a lot but for the past several days all I get is a black screen and I have tried to reload it, but it doesn’t make a difference. I’m not sure what to do to get it back because I used it more than anything else. I don’t have problems with any other app, so I don’t believe it’s my phone.

Version 3.2.8

This is my first ever review of a Radar Weather application after having very little luck with the other Radar applications in the Apple App Store.

I was really pumped to try out this application after using Radarscope for a few years. I read everybody’s reviews of RadarOmega and knew this application was comparable to Radarscope. After looking over RadarOmega I liked everything I saw and seriously thought about up grading the RadarOmega Application to the Beta version for $89.99 because it met all of my needs. I decided the Alpha version was too expensive for my current needs. I inputted my Credit Card information because I knew I would get great value from the application from that price point. The application told me everything was established so I tried to use the Beta version of the application and to my surprise I was still using the basic version. So, I read up on the Beta version and everything that I paid for. But still, nothing happened. I waited until today (3/22/24 ) a week later and the payment never processed although when I first sign up it told me I was good to go and told me I was a Beta user. Finally, I decided to remove the application from my computer this evening and will go back to Radarscope until the bugs are worked out of this application. Like I said it looked like a great application but had too many bugs. I believe some of the other RadarOmega users are overhyping this application that is why I gave the developers two stars because of the bugs in this application. GREAT POTENTIAL POOR DELIVERY !

Lost features??

Used to be awesome. Paid for the $19.99 version that allowed me to see all the different radar images and now all I get is the same radar with less features then my Apple weather app. Boo.

Mesoscale discussions

–

BobTheBuilder1245

–

2024-02-11

Version 3.0.0

In the mesoscale discussions key, there is a problem with the percentages. For example, in tornado watch likely, it says 80% or 95%, when it should say 80% to 95%. While not a major issue, it would be great if it was fixed. Also, when there is a 30% chance of tropical formation for the 7 days, it shows up as orange (medium). It actually should show up as yellow (low). It would be nice if this was also fixed. Besides these issues, it is a great app, and I would highly recommend it. 5/5 stars.

Lags too

Version 4.6

Get the Alpha Subscription! As an avid weather enthusiast, I’ve used various weather apps over the years, but Radar Omega stands out as a top contender. The level of detail and accuracy in its radar imaging is unparalleled, offering real-time insights into weather patterns that are both precise and easy to understand.

What impresses me most is the app’s user-friendly interface, which makes navigating through different features a breeze. Whether it’s tracking a storm or just checking the weather forecast, the experience is seamless. The app provides comprehensive weather data, including wind speeds, temperature, and precipitation, in a well-organized manner.

The customization options are a great addition, allowing me to tailor the app to my specific interests and needs. This personalized experience enhances the overall functionality of the app, making it not just a tool, but a reliable companion for daily weather updates.

Moreover, the alert system in Radar Omega is timely and informative, keeping me ahead of severe weather conditions. This feature, in particular, has been invaluable during storm seasons, offering peace of mind with its accurate and prompt notifications.

In conclusion, Radar Omega is a must-have for anyone interested in weather tracking. It’s a comprehensive, user-friendly, and reliable app that goes above and beyond in delivering quality weather information. A solid 5-star rating from me!

Disappointed with the things that really matter

Photon1337

2023-12-27

Version 4.0.0

Overall I do really like Radar Omega. It has some incredible features that competing apps don’t have, especially the ability to view models, the 3D volumetric views, CylonePORT network, live streams, an insane amount of customization preferences, the list goes on. So from a feature standpoint, this is an excellent app. My issues are to do with a lack of optimization and polish. This app is a resource hog. Everything is laggy and slow, everything takes forever to load (please note that I have an iPhone 15 Pro Max and a very fast internet connection) and overall the app does not feel fluid or smooth to use. I was shocked at how much faster and better RadarScope (this app’s main competitor) feels. It is a much better, cleaner and more polished experience in comparison to Omega. Also, RS supports the high refresh 120 Hz screen (aka “ProMotion”) that newer iPhones have and is clearly far better optimized. Another issue is radar history is broken. No matter what device I use Radar Omega on, I can no longer view radar history. I asked about this on Twitter and got no response. So in summary, I have tried Radar Omega on a high end iPhone, Android Tablet (Galaxy Tab S6) and a relatively high end PC (Ryzen 7 5800x, 16 GB RAM and 5700XT GPU) and still run into all of these issues. Radar Omega seriously needs some under the hood improvements. Otherwise it’s a great app.

Horrible weather app

No radar widget like Radar scope. The radar backgrounds for the radar are severely subpar and makes viewing the radar unpleasant.

2023-10-19

After years of being happy with radar scope, I felt like I needed more. And this app has a lot more. And then some. It’s definitely not for the average user, and it’s a little challenging to learn at first, but you learn it fast and it will be your best friend for tracking weather.

One thing I would like to see added is an app for CarPlay. Apple recently allowed weather radar apps for it and I think that would give this app everything

Misleading pricing

–

NomadicByNature

–

2023-10-09

It’s $9 to buy the app, which I thought meant $9 for the full app. There’s an additional $50-$120 a year in subscriptions required to use the features. Incredibly misleading marketing. 1 star, do not recommend this app. It’s borderline bait and switch.

Super legit

–

K_Krum

–

2023-09-22

Best radar app on the market. Period. And that’s with or without a subscription. You just have to take the time initially to go through and learn about all the features/customization options. The wealth of data that this app provides (all in one place) is unparalleled. And the UI, which has been the app’s Achilles’ heel in the past, has improved markedly. If you’re an everyday person that just wants to know if it will be sunny or not tomorrow, this app is probably not for you. But for weather enthusiasts or professionals, I highly recommend it. Best $9 I’ve ever spent.

Didn’t get what was advertised

–

Zach Koogler

–

2023-09-21

Don’t buy because you don’t get access to all the features. I got an advertisement saying that this app was 3.99 but was actually 7.99 plus an subscription.

2023-09-11

Why do I need an "account" just to save a couple distinct locations? Why not implement the MVP and let us save the locations to our phones? I don't use your app across multiple devices; and if I did, they travel with me to different locations. Very lame attempt to gather more private data that your have no right to have. At least RadarScope and wX don't do that. Ugh.

Ripoff alert!

2023-09-03

They don't make it clear that simply by installing the app -- without subscribing to anything -- you're charged $8.99. Not like MOST apps where there's a free or trial version with options to subscribe and upgrade. Total grift. Complaining won't help.

I would give them a 5 star rating but I was disappointed when after using the basic version I and upgrading to a monthly subscriber for a while - I went back to the original basic version and found some of the features originally available in basic had now been reserved for subscription only users.

2023-08-29

Came here to see a good radar, but it’s anything but good unless you pay a subscription. The base cost $8 and does less than the Weather Channel. Do not get this app unless you’re making money doing this kind of thing.

Radar Omega, once you learn how to use the interface, this radar app is fantastic. Anyone purchasing this App should YouTube a tutorial on how to use it properly. I’m highly impressed. Heard about it from Ryan Hall. Price of a Big Mac Happy Meal.

Paid version is too limited to be very useful

Title says most of it. You pay money up front then get hit with 3 tiers of subscriptions to unlock more features. There are other apps that are free that will give you what the unsubscribed version of this.

–

2023-08-12

I downloaded this app because a you tube influencer promoted it as being a potential lifesaver, in extreme weather scenarios. The problem however, I have no idea what I’m looking at. It would be great if it were lay person friendly. I’m not a complete dumb dumb, and it’s not that I’m too ignorant to learn something new, I’m just to busy to take the time. If I were a meteorologist I’m sure this app would be fantastic, but I’m not.

Maybe good if you subscribe and pay extra.

I like the app but it’s not as intuitive as you’d like. For instance, I can’t figure out how to bring up the radar composite of the entire nation. I’ve checked the videos they provide on YouTube but nothing demonstrates how to go back and forth between local and national radar.

Best weather app. Period.

–

2023-08-10

Best weather app period! If you understand the basics of weather take 5 minutes to explore how powerful and feature packed this app is! The inclusion of private gap filler radars and micro weather data from CyclonePort stations is a game changer. Being able to physically see the storm coming through the extensive camera and sensor network gives you eyes on the ground!

No need to use any other radar, or monitoring software. Desktop version is amazing too!

Very good but..

–

Rortify

–

2023-08-07

Really wish the desktop client didn’t require a subscription, everyone who buys the app should have some sort of access key for the desktop version, it’s not really fair for some people who can barely get by as it is enough, subscriptions to so many other services, it gets a little ridiculous.

This is the first Radar App I ever purchased and was very disappointed that the basic purchase price does not include MRMS which would show reflectivity across the entire United States. That feature is only available to Beta and Alpha subscribers. The customer service was great and the work around they provided to me as a non-subscriber was to change my ‘Single Site Radar’ to a different site to see the incoming weather

The moment you start using this app your mobile device processor gets really HOT. It’s incredible slow to load/render on my IPad 5th gen and even chugs a little on my iPhone 13. The heat is immediately noticeable on all my Apple devices. No other apps generate this kind of heat. Love this app just not the heat.

I love the app a lot. It consistently works well.

One thing I wish it had was a custom notification system. I really want a notification for when a 1-2 day tornado region is within 500 miles of me.

Another thing I wish this app had is a manual refresh button. Sometimes I need very specific information very quickly and I’m never sure how long it will take to get the latest data. A manual button for this would be awesome.

Loved it, then lost it.

I got this app and used it for about a month on my ipad then version 5.1 came out and now can’t open it anymore. Not sure if it’s because of the update or something I have done. Just get a black screen for a split second and then it’s gone. I sure miss it.

2023-07-01

Can be hard to use if your not a pro. The list of active watches and warnings don’t always list the state (most states use the same county and town names). Has the best radar I've found. Often shows what other apps and websites don’t. The blue dot that shows my location is off by about 10 miles and seems to be in a different spot every time. Doesn’t sound like a problem but when you’re in the boonies like I am it makes a big difference finding your exact location. We have no warning system here, so i depend on it and NOAA radio. It needs to be as accurate as possible in bad weather.

Would recommend buying

Bought the basic, and assumed that it would be powerful. It’s mediocre, but if you want the bells and whistles to be cut loose, you have to buy a higher level version. One of those regret buys after listening to a YouTuber extol its virtues. Deleted the app, a waste of money.

Am an Alpha user and have been for some time. I love Radar omega and truly believe it’s the weather software of the future. I liked radarscope but it just seems so basic and bland after using radarOmega. I am however waiting for the 3d hail swath. Will it be available to single site radar? Or just MMRS? Either way can’t wait to see it. The 3d visualizations (albeit we don’t really need them) are fantastic given the fact you can use your own color table for everything from reflectivity and velocity to different model products. Fantastic stuff and thank you to the developers for bringing this weather laboratory to our fingertips.

Perfect for the weather enthusiast!

Radar Omega is fantastic. I have been a weather enthusiast for about 25 years. This is exactly what I have been looking for. I have the Alpha subscription ($120 per year). If you are interested in weather and like to look at radar, satellite, wind, precipitation data, IT IS WORTH IT! You can track your own storms. It is a feature-rich program and can be overwhelming at first. Just start with the reflectivity radar and get use to it. Then venture out to other features. I absolutely love it!

Excellent customer service and radar!

I had a problem signing into the app. I reached out to the Radar Omega team by email and told them the problem I was having. Within a couple of days they figured it out and the app works fine now. I’m so appreciative to the person that assisted me in fixing this issue that was literally driving me crazy. Also, the app is excellent!! If you love the weather, than this is the app for you.

Crashes, fails to load, and is just slow.

2023-04-05

I tried dealing with it and not it’s gotten to me.

The app is great if it works. It has more features for less compared to some other apps like radar scope but it doesn’t matter if the app fails to load. I’ve tried countless times to get it working, and to be fair it did work for a little while but would crash and stop working every once and while. But now it just plain doesn’t work.

When I open the app it takes about three minutes to load all the different ui elements but the map stays black. Tapping on anything takes a good solid minute to respond (if it even does) and it’s down right unusable. If the app worked, five stars but it just crashes and stays slow.

Great but a little on the buggy side

2023-03-25

So far one of the best radar app I’ve used! I’m coming over from radar scope and I couldn’t be more happy! I was referred by a friend to download Radar Omega. I instantly bought the alpha plan. And I got to say I don’t regret it at all! Radar Scope began to feel limited compared to Radar Omega. So much more is offered here including live streams from storm chasers, live webcams with current conditions (including wind speed, pressures, temperatures, dew points and much more). Another significant feature are the 3D scans from the radar. Unfortunately, the app does have some issues including lag, crashes, and other small bugs that will definitely be ironed out hopefully. Needless to say really great app. Looking forward to future updates. I’m also look forward to using this during the storm season to see what it really can do!

The Concept is good but left me wanting better

My Radar App was cheaper and I don’t need a monthly subscription to get a 3D and High Def. version . I had high hopes for this app but definitely it was a huge let down specially for the cost of the app and looks like a kids coloring book ! Not for me I uninstalled it from my phone and just taking a loos on my money. I wonder how many people have done the same , I’ll probably create an app like this and make my money on tricking people into making the first purchase, but then again I will never take advantage of people in that way.

5.0 update - Good idea, bad implementation

I love the idea of receiving an audible alert and flashing polygon when a new warning is issued, but it does it every time the warning is updated also. During a severe weather outbreak this gets annoying very quickly. I ended up turning it off. Would be better if it only alerted you if the warning was upgraded (confirmed tornado, tornado emergency, etc.) rather than getting an alert when the warning is “continued” or areas are removed from the warning. I’d also like to be able to change how classifications of warnings are displayed (tornado emergency, severe thunderstorm-destructive, etc.)

One of the better radar apps in the store

I was able to buy this a few years ago when it was $4.99 to download, and sort of let it sit in my phone unused for a few years. Now, it is my #1 go to app for all of weather over the past year. It doesn’t get much more better in terms of having high-resolution radar displays.

There are a lot of premium features, to which I’ve tried a few of them, but the meat-and-potatoes version offers both the rain, snow, storms and thunderstorms radar data with warnings and all. It is perfectly fine for my needs, but I may try out the additional features during tornado season here soon. You can cancel them or turn them on at any time.

The frames and pixel clarity can’t be beat by another app out there.

Best radar app y’all.

Simply the best radar app. Extremely Reliable. Lots of customizable data. Worth every penny, especially when Tornado season strikes! (take it from someone who never leaves reviews) and if you pay for the upgraded levels (still awesome if you don’t) you can access pretty much everything the pros use in the palm of your hand. THANKS FOR A GREAT APP Y’ALL

Fantastic App except……

I love this app for all the features and ease of use. It replaced radarscope on all my devices except my Apple TV and my Apple Watch. I really hope the developers decide to add these 2 devices to their lineup. It would be worth an upgrade from the free version. Some Apple Watch’s have cellular connectivity and would be fantastic to use radar omega instead of radarscope, hense the 4-star rating. Other than that, great job!!

One of the best

RadarOmega is one of the best apps for enthusiasts, storm chasers, etc. The CyclonePORT integration is really helpful to get an idea of what’s going on at the surface. I just wish there were more stations.

The reason I’m giving four stars is because I have an issue where sometimes the radar and map will disappear and the only way to fix it is to fully close the app and start it again. This is the only issue I’ve ever had with RadarOmega.

I’m excited to see what the future brings for this app, it’s coming along great!

Pretty good overall

App works really well, in the fire service monitoring flood waters using the live rainfall accumulation map is extremely helpful. Only complaint is that even after paying 8$ for the app, there is still multiple subscriptions within it to unlock more features. Could be just me, but I feel if you’re already paying for the app, should have everything unlocked. Other than that, super clean user interface and functions just as it should.

Amazing 3D views, double charged

This is definitely one of the top radar apps out there, and has some great advanced features. This is for more advanced users, so may be overkill if you just want a general idea when precip is coming.

For those willing to learn, however, this is one of two I primarily use. I am borderline obsessed with the 3D views on various radars! I also appreciate the free access to the Mac app, but I like using this on iPad above all.

That said, be aware, you will be charged twice. Once when you download the app (for recurring subscription apps, normally this is your first week/month/year of service) you get charged, but then once you open the app, you have to pay again for the subscription.

(At least this is all I can assume, as Apple denied my request for refund twice, after I was charged a second time, of course with no explanation).

I love the app and will continue to use it on the Alpha subscription, but be aware that you will pay double your first month if you want the advanced features.

Amazing Quality!

Ive tried other apps like Radar Scope but they never gave the features to people who didn’t want to pay for a monthly subscription. Radar omega gives a ton of futures for that one time purchase. Color tables for radar, gate filtering and plenty of radar products just to name a few. Its an amazing radar tool and I will continue to use and recommend this amazing app.

Subscription charges

Love the app absolutely incredible. However, I upgraded from the omega to the alpha within the same day and was still charged full price for both? Why am I not charged the difference instead I was charged $22? You would think you spent $10 and for a few dollars more a month you can have the upgrade. If I get charged for both next month unfortunately I will have to cancel I guess

I am 65 years old and I’ve been using radar and weather apps since the start of personal computing. This is the most professional and informative - and sleek looking! - one I’ve come across. The Metar displays on the maps tops it off beautifully. It took me a little while to find the data inspector but now that I have that there really isn’t much more that can be added for me. Love it!! I’ve been using Radar Scope for many years. This will now be my go to app. Thank you!

2022-03-27

heard ab it from a youtuber (last word in his name is y’all) and it’s best app money i’ve ever spent. without the subscription i still get so much data to look at with the radar (and i get to nerd out).

and i know some complain ab it being “not as pretty” as other weather apps but guys! this actually makes it way more accurate than smoother radar displays! it’s called radar windows or something and it’s the data collected from that area specifically- blending it to make it smoother/“prettier” makes it less accurate. hopefully this changes minds ab a “low quality” radar display that is actually much higher quality than most apps’ radars.

Wonderful and Essential!

I can’t say enough positive things about this app. I have no negative notes. I live in a tornado-prone state and I can rest easier with the knowledge I can track the storms around. It’s very robust and interesting. I’m a very novice weather enthusiast and RadarOmega has taught me a bunch. I’ve even been able to navigate multiple tornado warnings on days with outbreaks. The support staff and Twitter account is also super friendly and quick to respond. You guys have given me piece of mind and I’m so grateful. You also don’t have to be a subscriber to get value. Thanks so much for what you do. I will keep this app for the rest of my life and use it when things get bad weather-wise.

Too costly

–

Teddyk1

–

2022-02-09

I agree that this app is loaded with data , but,,,, if you are not a subscriber you will not see any of that information. Just too costly if you want to view radar across the whole country at one time. The purchase price of this app only gets you single radar at a time. This should be mentioned more clearly .

For this reason I can only give it 2 stars . If your going to charge for everything else then why not let the user try the app for free.

I expected to get more for the purchase price. Very disappointed.

Is this the storm ive been looking for ?

A few years ago,Weather underground made an application called storm radar. The weather channel bought weather underground and killed the storm radar calling it an upgrade. So far, this is the closest app that gives me the data that storm radar did and has a lot of options for those that are interested in weather. It would be awesome to see a few of the additional things built in storm like the simulated live radar mode, switching between satellites and being able to add fronts and other items to the map. Nice work on this app!

Awesome Radar!!

I fell in love with this radar when I began to use it. Love how your able to make warning boxes like a warning would actually be & the color pallets too. I don’t like how you have to clear the drawing to move the screen. I wish you were able to move the screen while your able to keep the drawing on there. Also, another feature you should add is a text box to type messages or random words. Anyways, it’s amazing & I love it.

This is a well rounded weather app for enthusiasts and professional’s . The customization within the app is just awesome. If you want more they offer more though subscription tiers, data isn’t cheap and they are well worth it. They have an active community on Facebook around to help with questions you may have.

I don’t normally write app reviews, but I felt compelled to after a recent interaction with support. If you’re familiar with radarscope it is very similar; this app is really catered to Meteorologists and weather enthusiasts, not your average person. I have had RadarOmega for a while now and have watched it improve into a beyond usable app that is threatening radarscope’s spot on my app dock. Only a few months ago, the app was laggy and slow but now it runs much faster. There is a lot more customization and features that are free compared to other similar apps. I also think the subscription prices are very fair, if you buy any subscription you get free access to their Mac/Windows/Linux app. If I had one critique of the app it is that it still doesn’t feel 100% fluid and I do not like the transition when going in and out of the menu it feels slow and dated. I will say if you ever have any issue their team will be more than willing to help you. I emailed about a feature and received a response within 5 minutes! That is very impressive! Overall, this app hasn’t quite earned radarscope’s spot, but it very well could in the future.

Almost Perfect

This app blows RadarScope out of the water, and I’ve been using RS for about 8 years, ever since Moore in 2013. With RadarScope’s base cost, you don’t get SPC products, special weather statements, METARs, or 30 frames of radar data. With RO, you get all that plus a road map that gets more detailed the more you zoom in, making this app preferential for chasers as we can now chase with only one app open. What really sets RadarOmega apart, however, isn’t the radar data. It’s the satellite data that can be added for $5 a month. Keep in mind, all of this except satellite is included with the base cost of the app. So with all of this, it’s cheaper than RS coupled with AllisonHouse.

Some things I’d love to see added to the app to make it truly perfect are mesoanalysis, the ability to separate cities and roads to only render one invisible if so desired, METAR wind barbs, and the ability to log into Spotter Network to send reports and position information. If it weren’t for these features being absent, I’d be getting rid of RadarScope tonight. Otherwise, this app truly goes above and beyond, and I can’t wait to try it on my iPad and Windows.

One of the best weather app out there!!!

I’ve used a lot of weather apps and radar omega is tops! One of the major things I live about it is the maps. With radar omega, you can get down to street level and see the names of streets, not just major highways. Others I have used just show major highway. Some features in radar omega are pay for use in others. And with the update they just did with history, it just put the icing on the cake! Keep up the great work radar omega.

Quality app with great features

This app is the best and most in-depth app of its type that I’ve found. I appreciate the customizability and the added data beyond radar (LSRs, METARs, etc). I also appreciate having additional weather alerts available.

I do think that the app is kinda cluttered, but that’s probably a symptom of the customizability and I’d rather have the customizability.

I wish the app included more real-time weather reports than just METAR data. The rest of the NOAA MADIS suite would be nice. I also wish more weather alerts were visible, like wind advisories and dust storm alerts. I also wish that I could turn off the radar display to only see alerts, LSRs, or METAR data to share that on social media without the radar overlay. A 24 hour clock option versus am/pm for local time and mPING integration would also be small but welcome improvements.

Overall, this is a fantastic app and is well worth the price! I look forward to more innovations from the developers!

Great Customer Support!

I’m no storm chaser, but the weather has always intrigued me. I’ve used the app for just short of a year. I wanted something more informative than what you can see from the regular Weather Channel app radar. I want to learn how to use the tools to locate rotation in storms before tornado season starts, being on the edge of Dixie alley. I had an issue about my account info (or what I thought was my account info), so when I messaged customer support, I expected it to be a few hours before a response. ONE MINUTE. And within 40 minutes, the issue was figured out and resolved. I highly recommend the app!

Fantastic - a must have for weather!

This app does it all from my perspective. As a retired air traffic controller I was accustomed to having live, up-to-the-second weather when I was working airplanes/talking with pilots. However, I’ve never had anything like that available to me from the comfort of my home or in my hand via my phone. The non-subscription access via this app is excellent. The paid subscription plans are purely wonderful.

I love being able to look at anything - historical, current, forecasts, trends, etc. a f with the new features that are or have been recently rolled out it just keeps getting better.

Keep up the great work RadarOmega!

Has Additional Features Compared to RadarScope

–

2020-08-17

The RadarOmega app has improved dramatically over the past six months, there are only a couple of improvements I would recommend:

Tropical System Wind Probability Opacity: TSWP’s over 20% cover the locations on the screen, please make more transparent or have a sliding bar for transparency.

Update: This issue has been fixed and is modifiable via Polygon Opacity under Tropical Weather Outlooks

Include Hurricane/Tropical Storm Warnings. Tropical Weather Statements (they include information on severity of impacts within a tropical system for a NWS forecast area)

Update: This feature has been added under Weather Alert Settings

Storm Tracks: Storm tracks on RadarScope are slightly better as they include arrival times on screen, if a T-Storm is tornadic or producing hail, an animating indicator similar to the ones seen on TV would set the app far ahead of RadarScope.

Update: This feature has been added under radar settings.

CarPlay (For Warnings Only) (Would be only weather app on iOS that offers this): As CarPlay is very restrictive, it wouldn’t be able to display radar. However, if someone has RadarOmega Always Allow location, they can receive an alert when they drive into a Tornado/Severe T-Storm/Flash Flood Warning, (also could play audio of the alert in the distant future).

The developer of this app is the best developer is the weather category and is always working to improve the user experience.

Keep up the great work!

Best Weather Radar App On The Market

This app has everything you could want in an advanced radar app. There are more included features with no subscription than any other app and some subscription features aren’t even available anywhere else. If you have an issue or request simply email there support team and they usually reply that day, even on weekends! Who else does that? They work to resolve every issue as soon as possible and seriously consider every single request making the vast majority of requests an actual feature. Who else does that? They are constantly soliciting input and feedback from their users and factor that into all of their development decisions. Who else does that?

Don’t pay attention to most of the negative reviews as you can see upon close inspection they are false and some even come from the same person.

If you want the truth about this app and their team check out their Facebook support group and/or talk to an actual user.

This app has been great in my experience so far! The maps load good and all the radar data is there. The map is probably my favorite part of this app. It finally gives the ability for people to chase storms off one device. Other GR Level Radar apps maps are so bare they are pretty much useless for navigating so other equipment is required to know what roads can give you an exit in a bad situation. Compared to Rasarscope with out any subscription you get way more features with Radar Omega. If you do decide to subscribe, the subscriptions are feature packed and worth the money. Also, this app is for weather enthusiasts and professionals. If all your used to is weather bug or my radar, this app isn’t for you. It’s a great tool to use to learn if you want to get into it but if all you care about is if it’s going to rain tomorrow then don’t download this. All in all I give it a 10/10 and the support staff are great. You can tell they care about the App and it’s users.

Without any doubt, no other developer’s radar product has given me the satisfaction in seeing not only the progress of the application’s features but the excellence of the customer service in such a short period of time. Please continue to excel!!

Would certainly choose this application over most other apps; the subscription prices are quite fair considering the quality and content and the detailed user’s guide. I’m considering to subscribe again pending authorization of developer given my opinion above.

There are a lot of new features that make this application stand out and the staff deserves some kudos for the work they have done. The updated manual will be indispensable to get the most out this high quality features

I regret the changes in my opinion since the original review. This application is much more suited for a professional meteorologist or storm chaser; their inability to respond as often reflects this. The website needs a caveat informing the subscriber not to expect responses within 72 hours

I suggest that your Radar Omega app description contain a caveat indicating that the software is mostly intended for meteorology associated professionals; this way, the user does not expect to have full knowledge how to operate its many features. It is quite regretful that you had to mention that I asked more questions than anybody else. I hope that your future customers do not find themselves in the same predicament.

Finally everything we’ve been asking for

RadarScope is the gold standard, but over the years nothing has changed and it’s getting very dated. No street mapping is the biggest downfall of RS when chasing. Also the 10 minute radar refresh makes it almost unusable.

I understand that RO is still young and borderline still in beta, but the potential is there! Everything everyone has ever complained about with RS is available with RadarOmega. 5 minute radar refresh and street mapping is amazing. Once spotter network reporting gets implemented I can finally uninstall RadarScope. I appreciate the hard work y’all are doing and the windows app is AMAZING!!! Now if only apple would allow it with CarPlay (we can dream ).

2020-04-30

Just recently got the app and so far 2 complaints. First, is the radar quality. Quality is low until zoomed in. Second (the larger issue in my opinion), the zooming is very finicky. It’s not fluid and seems to jump around a lot. Would love to see this issue get resolved. Also, the app is EXTREMELY laggy when moving around and zooming in and out. It’s now to the point where I can even use the app and just open Radar Scope instead and get a lag free experience. This needs major work!!! Last, why do I need to allow my location to be used EVERY time I hit current location. Extremely unnecessary and annoying.

Very good!

2020-04-28

After watching so many of Reed Timmer’s screenshots of RO, I finally gave in.

There are a number of things that I prefer with this app as opposed to RadarScope.

I still like RadarScope a tad better, but I love the color ratio much better, and I love being able to tap on a tornado warning and instantly it says whether it’s a confirmed or radar indicated so I don’t have to read through the warning to find out. Once they get the finicky zoom in/out, this will be my favorite. It’s definitely worth the $9!

Great job, Radar Omega! I’m a very pleased customer!

Still needs work.....

On this new version. I know they made big changes, and I’m still working to familiarize myself with them. I do, however, think it has a way to go to be as good as it was before. I’ve lost landscape use, which I used a lot for tracking storms. And you can’t save locations for quick viewing. They say that’s coming back, though. This version is also a RAM hog when running so on my iPad Air2 it runs significantly slower than my iPhone XS. Still a decent application but just not where I’d like it to be yet.

Waited awhile before buying this app however finally pulled the trigger and glad I did. Signed up for the Alpha data and love having these features on my Mac! Long duration satellite and radar animations work well. Wish there were more sharing options for desktop however I realize this is still in development. Also PLEASE allow dual view with both radar and satellite view, this would be amazing. Looking forward to tracking tropical wx this season.

I have yet to encounter an app that comes anyone close to the amount of info this app provides. I just picked up their Alpha service and love the desktop features that is provided. Would like if possible in the future if you could add dual view to the desktop.

Overall great app and recommend to anyone who is looking for a weather app that is different than most.

Have been pleasantly surprised with how much information is available in Omega.. Love the tropical tracking dashboard and severe outlook display, radar updates are fairly quick. Considering upgrading to Beta or Alpha to use on my desktop. I do hope the developers consider adding push notifications for things such as warnings and tropical data updates.

I purchased this after hearing that I was going to be available from a chaser friend Mike Phelps for the iPhone and I could not have gone wrong on the purchase. The program does everything and the nice thing about this program is that it’s being supported and updates continually make it better not like some of the others where it takes months before they fix an issue get Radar omega and you can’t go wrong

This is a good app with a big problem

This is a good app for the reflectivity view, but the doppler coloring and values are both confusing and incorrect. When the doppler velocity gets above +50 knots or so, the doppler value turns negative. I was seeing -116 knots next to +35 knots in areas where there was no rotation, just straight line winds. I tried to see the rotation for a tornado warned storm yesterday, but the confusing color scale and the shifting doppler readings made it impossible to see. The center of rotation was very easy to see with Radarscope, but I had no idea using this app. I sent in a report yesterday but do far haven’t received any response.
