Pros and cons of gRadar app for iPhone and iPad
gRadar app good for
Im not use to give my opinion about an app but for this one, I must admit that its a very good one.
The most important thing this app is, she is very accurate!
Love checking how fast or slow a rain storm is coming or going by before going for a run
Note poor comment due to my friend not updating iOS resulting in temporary poor google maps base. Now wonderful again......
impressive up to date aerial photos that blows away google earth and I love the weather graphics. My newly constructed cottage in the middle of nowhere is there and clear. I love the 12 hour history. I can check twice a day to see if any serious weather has occured at the cottage or vise versa when I am there.
Easy to use, loads of features. Canada friendly. Highly recommend.
Good coverage, but has ghost images, and frequently locks up and requires rebooting.
There are only a few radar images available in my area. It is not unusual for an image to be cut off and not showing the area needed. Once again, Canada only has a few radar images available while the U.S. has them all. Even so, it is still the best available weather Radar app available.
Some bad moments
My friend recommended this below but they recently changed the aerial to crappy google hoping you would not notice. He still has the old impressive aerial and is afraid of updates but I have crap. his 5 star would now be a 1.
Its slow, inaccurate, and complicated. There are much better apps than this
Great display; great presentation; however weather is 30-50kms off compared to actual weather. some other apps are slightly more current actual weather.
Half my apps dont work since the new update. And this is one of them. Dont buy until they say its iOS 8 ready if not dont bother.
Good work to all the apple team on screwing half my apps. And the app developers well Im not impressed either.
Used to work very well but the app doesnt receive any radar data anymore.
Contacted the developers but no signs of life!
well I tryed this app, ok to make it fair, I went to 3 different sites for weather radar of my area, they showed rain, this program didnot so I dont know whats going on with it but hey it might just be my area so I dont know
