Just start the app, and your location pops up with animated weather, allowing you to easily see if rain is headed your way.

The map has the standard pinch/zoom capability which allows you to smoothly zoom and pan around the United States and see what the weather is like anywhere.

MyRadar Pro is just like the free version, but without any ads.

Buy MyRadar Pro today and try it out!

Finest Weather Radar App Available - ★★★★★

by Mabryan777 (v2.2.1) on Apr 13 2012

I live in Tornado Alley in Northeast Oklahoma in a rural area outside the range of audible alarms. I have my own weather station that uploads to the Internet every few minutes and I have purchased a dozen weather apps because I need to know what is going on. MyRadar is the finest application I have found to date at any price to get fast accurate radar feeds. The application is overlaid on a very high resolution map that pinpoints my exact location so I can quickly see where the severe weather is relative to my house. I upgraded to the pro version to get rid of the ads and upgraded to get the pushed alerts as well. This is the first application I go to when I need good radar fast. The small fees to upgrade are not relevant when it comes to protecting myself, my family and my neighbors.

------

Love it! - ★★★★★
by RenovateKate1 (v2.2.1) on Apr 14, 2012

I live in Tornado Alley and love the severe weather alerts. I tell everyone I know about this app!

No more checking the tv at 4:00am to see where the storm is or wondering if I slept through the tornado sirens.

------

Excellent App - ★★★★★
by Gravenfist (v2.2.1) on Apr 14, 2012

I use this app anytime there is intense weather to know what is happening and what to expect. It was indispensable during the recent tornados in Texas.

Better radar than weather channel - ★★★★★

by Louloulou1 - Version 1.3.1 - 03 February 2011

It's latest map update is usually less than ten minutes old Twc app is usually an hour old. And it's free

------

Very, very useful :) - ★★★★★

by PandaHazard - Version 1.3.1 - 04 February 2011

Lately I've been having like one day of school a week because of the latest snow and this app really helped me anticipate the up coming weather. And it's very very accurate. :) good job.

------

Simply works. - ★★★★★

by David Grillot - Version 1.3.1 - 01 February 2011

I use this app just about daily and I must say, I am thrilled. It doesn't overwhelm me with useless features, it just shows me the local radar. I couldn't be happier.

Storm Shield - E.W. Scripps Company

2012-06-01T09:12:43-07:00

Storm Shield
E.W. Scripps Company
Genre: Weather
Price: $4.99
Release Date: May 21, 2012

Description
Storm Shield is a life-saving app that acts like a NOAA Emergency Weather Radio on your iPhone. You will receive critical alerts via voice and push notification regarding life-threatening weather events. Your iPhone will "wake up" with alerts wherever you are.

Storm Shield is made possible by the Scripps network of local television stations and newspapers. If you live in a Scripps local market, your app will be customized with additional news and local information to keep you ahead of the storm and safe in extreme weather. Use your partner code (if provided), or search for your city or zip code, to activate enhanced local weather information in Scripps local markets.

***GENERAL FEATURES***

- More Precise Alerts: Storm Shield provides more accurate alerts than those offered by typical consumer alerting services. Most of these services will alert you to severe weather if you are in a county only partially covered by a watch or warning, even if you are not actually directly within the watch/warning. Storm Shield ensures you receive an alert only if your device or saved locations fall inside a watch/warning box. That means you aren't disturbed by alarms not relevant to your location. You also have complete control over what types of alerts you receive through your app. For example, select only tornado warnings or just winter weather warnings.

- Follow Me: Follow me is a critical feature if you are on the go. This app will alert you if you are in an area when a relevant watch or warning is issued, no matter where you are in the United States.

- Friends and Family: Storm Shield can also save up to FIVE fixed locations in addition to your current position. This means you can make sure friends and family at home, at work, at school, out of state, at a ballgame, etc., stay safe when extreme weather threatens them.

- Battery Management: Storm Shield uses iOS Location Services to strike a balance between location accuracy and battery usage. Background tracking will have some effect on overall battery life. You can control how much accuracy you want the application to use for your location and thus impact the battery management. You may turn off background tracking for battery conservation in the app settings. In this mode, Storm Shield will use the GPS only when the app is open.

- Audio: Storm Shield provides audio alerts in the form of beeps followed by a brief description of the alert type. The audio could wake you in the middle of the night, or give you information you need when you can't stop to look at the phone. Furthermore, you can listen to the alerts and forecasts for your area at any time.

Select one of the 155 different radar sites, with the rotating radar beam representing each radar's approximate coverage area. Plot your current location by tapping the location button and optionally report it to the Spotter Network. Tap the play button to download and animate over the last six images. Display the names of over 25,000 cities and towns on the map as you zoom and scroll. Tap and hold the color legend to see the data values.

Meanwhile, RadarScope will retrieve and display updated data automatically and intelligently (approximately every 5 to 10 minutes, depending on the radar scan strategy).
