Best Darn Radar App Period Coming to Android

[Mike Brady]

Well let me begin by thanking everybody for the publicity. When this app does come out there will be 100000 references to it on the internet We are currently looking into the possibility of a option for GIS mapping toggle aka would have GIS maps and Google maps. As to whether this comes to be or not is really going to depend on the cost change. To be completely up front and transparent I have invest numerous hours and over $5,000 Into the development of this application. This is because I believe there is market out there of people who need a good solid radar app for there Android phones/Tablets. That being said I am truly behind my products and the Development team I am working with. So once again I ask everybody to please consider chilling out until they have something in there hands they can complain about. Suggestions are welcome complaints about something you have not had the privilege to play with is not.

Nice update. I, for one, appreciate regular updates on an application in active development. Coming along quite nicely, great work!

HAHA I like that update Mike. Looks good so far.

I think a suggestion from my end would be to make the radar circles smaller so they take up less space (maybe like the look of the GPS location circle but a different color?). Just a thought is all.

Looking very much forward to this thing.

Two quick things:

(1) Is this going to have VIL and Echo Tops?

(2) Loading Google Maps in ZOOM will be pretty tough, I imagine, since it's so data intensive. Is that why the crash is happening? If so, do you think you'll offer an alternative, more basic map (especially for areas of weaker coverage)?

Also, as an aside, I imagine nature being nature especially as winter approaches - is the lack of stormage going to hinder the progress of the app since there may not be a good number of storm situations to properly test?

 

[swilson]

That's true but it surely would be sweet to have it for winter I wouldn't mind trying it out in a blizzard. I'll be driving to the slopes for sure that day but hey none the less

Mikes App is published!!! Beta at this time until servers are moved over till the new ones!! Everyone using it here at National Weather Festival

Look for "storm chaser" in the market.

Good news! Any real-world samples or reviews?

 

[ChrisMartin]

using on google nexus one.

I know its the beta but how long does it currently take for the different radar sites to show up? They're not showing up for me.

I bought the app - but when I start the program it just shuts itself down. I hit START - then it goes to a screen that is white/gray on bottom with reflectivity colors on top. The loading spiral at the top spins around once or so and then the program shuts down and returns me to my normal phone view home screen.

You have to BUY a beta version?

 

[Scott Hammel]

Its running stable on my moto Droid with no force closes so far. Obviously not much weather to try it out on but all radar sites I've tried are pulling up. Good start so far!
