NOAA Hi-Def Radar app review

NOAA Hi-Def Radar

Price: $1.99

NOAA Hi-Def Radar by De WeatherSphere gives you real-time animated weather viewing.

This app gives you real-time weather radar images that are animated and make use of beautiful vivid colors to make it come alive.

You'll be able to find weather forecasts, hurricane forecast tracks, severe weather warnings, snowfall totals, drought severity, and if you click on a storm you'll be able to check out its direction.

What's really cool is that you can personalize this app's loop speed by deciding the interval between the frames. You can choose five minutes to one hour, and even pick how many frames are shown in each animation.

The app is fast loading and you can use multiple bookmarks for all your favorite locations. Not only that but downloading the app is also easy, with no fuss and no muss.

Other features include the latest radar images that you'll have access to within minutes of them being gathered, sharp images, wildfire locations on a detailed map, the ability to pause and play moving between the frames, and full-screen/portrait/landscape mode choices.

It should be noted that this app doesn't work well if you happen to reside in a high altitude place, such as Colorado, Aspen, Vail, or Fraser.

NOAA Hi-Def Radar was updated on Apr. 4, 2012 and has 8,600 customer ratings with an average rating of five out of five stars.

The images on the screen are really quite incredible looking and the use of colors and animation is brilliant. I thought the weather details were also really helpful and were displayed well.

For: iPhone, iPod, and iPad with iOS 4.3 or later
