Description
Dual Radar US is the only app in the app store that provides beautiful super hi-resolution (250 meter) radar mosaics for the continental United States AND images directly generated from raw Nexrad Level 3 station data. This lets you either view the big picture of what's going on with the weather, or view radar products that can't be combined into a mosaic, such as multi-scan level reflectivity, velocity, and dual polarization radar. Believe it or not, we offer access to about 40 different radar products. But we didn't stop there! We also provide access to severe weather warnings, storm tracks, hurricane tracks, hourly precipitation forecasts, 7 day point forecasts, current temperature overlays, jet stream maps, and 3 and 6 day precipitation forecast precipitation and pressure maps and more. If you're a detail person, feel free to read our complete list of features: - Super resolution (0.25 km) radar composites - Standard resolution (1 km) radar composites - Most Nexrad station products, including reflectivity, composite reflectivity, base and storm velocity (all at 4 scan angles), vertically integrated liquid, echo tops, one hour and storm total precipitation. - Most Nexrad dual polarization products, including differential reflectivity, correlation coefficient, specific differential phase, and hydrometeor classification at 4 scan levels - 3 and 6 day precipitation and pressure forecasts from NOAA weather models - 3 day jet stream forecast - Temperature overlay - Snow/mixed precipitation display (only on 1km base reflectivity radar layer) - 7 day forecasts and current conditions -- just press and hold for a second on the radar map - Hourly predicted radar - Severe weather (flash flood, tornado, and severe thunderstorm) warnings. Tap on a warning box to display the full warning message from the National Weather Service. Note: these are *not* push alerts. The app must be open to view the warnings - Cloud cover and satellite imagery for the continental United States - Advanced radar layers (echo tops, composite reflectivity, and storm total precipitation). - Play, pause, and step animations - Fast zoom in and zoom out - Choice of radar palettes - Multiple map styles (terrain, map, satellite, and hybrid) - Displays time of radar image either as absolute time or relative to the current time - GPS locator that finds and displays your current location - Adjust the transparency (opacity) of the radar or cloud cover overlays - Radar clutter filtering and smoothing - Automatic refresh when new radar or cloud cover data is available - Search for a location by zip code, city name, or address - Legend for radar and cloud cover overlays - Saves and restores your last location and zoom level Note: Radar coverage only includes the continental United States. Alaska, Hawaii, and other US controlled territories are not included. Note: Our Notification Widget is no longer supported due to MapQuest's decision to no longer offer a map tile service.

Great app a lot of info. Every time I go to Echo tops it crashes have to remove the app and reload it.
I have two favorite weather radar apps and this is one of them. What I really like is the ability to see the whole nation’s weather at once and with the excellent satellite terrain mapping.
Loved the echo tops tab but looks like it is not supported anymore.
When it does work, it’s fine. The problem is, the app freezes or crashes a lot. I have deleted the app and download it many times. Please fix it.
Dual function works well. See rotation before the local news puts it out or not? This years winter 2022 you cannot visualize winter precipitation like previous years. It’s worthless for winter storms. In radar station mode the storm velocity does not work at all and has not for years. It provides a decent radar, moisture and cloud mode. In station mode there are other modes that work but without the storm velocity it is incomplete. I repeat the same review for 2023-2024 Storm Velocity does not work. App will sometimes lock up your phone in this mode so had to do hard restart of the phone. Winter modes do not work anymore at all.
I like the use and the look of the Dual Radar app, but almost every time I open it up it freezes on the update screen the only way I can get it to work is shut it down close the app out by swiping it and restart it. it works all right next time exact same thing acts like an incompatibility to iOS 15 possibly or it’s just buggy software need to get your bugs fixed and then it will be an excellent app for watching the weather. Thank you.
I had rated this as 5 star, but now watches and warnings don’t show up any more. There hasn’t been an update in a long time, so not sure it is supported any more. Shouldn’t be a paid app if it isn’t supported. Doesn’t show radar full screen on my iPhone, just shows radar data on part of the screen.
Either make all tools available to use or remove them from the app. If you try and use the storm relative velocity feature, it crashes the app and you have to delete and reinstall. Luckily the base velocity has similar features and works, otherwise it would be 1 star and delete the app.
I was afraid of this from other reviews I would like a refund, it immediately crashed as soon as I got on and won’t even open back up this is absolutely ridiculous and I wouldn’t trust your life with it.
Last update was two years ago. Software no longer shows snow and winter mix. Some individual stations no longer available, which makes super res radar images unavailable in those areas. Do not recommend.
