• After witnessing the continued decrease of involvement in the SpotterNetwork staff in serving SN members with troubleshooting issues recently, I have unilaterally decided to terminate the relationship between SpotterNetwork's support and Stormtrack. I have witnessed multiple users unable to receive support weeks after initiating help threads on the forum. I find this lack of response from SpotterNetwork officials disappointing and a failure to hold up their end of the agreement that was made years ago, before I took over management of this site. In my opinion, having Stormtrack users sit and wait for so long to receive help on SpotterNetwork issues on the Stormtrack forums reflects poorly not only on SpotterNetwork, but on Stormtrack and (by association) me as well. Since the issue has not been satisfactorily addressed, I no longer wish for the Stormtrack forum to be associated with SpotterNetwork.

    I apologize to those who continue to have issues with the service and continue to see their issues left unaddressed. Please understand that the connection between ST and SN was put in place long before I had any say over it. But now that I am the "captain of this ship," it is within my right (nay, duty) to make adjustments as I see necessary. Ending this relationship is such an adjustment.

    For those who continue to need help, I recommend navigating a web browswer to SpotterNetwork's About page, and seeking the individuals listed on that page for all further inquiries about SpotterNetwork.

    From this moment forward, the SpotterNetwork sub-forum has been hidden/deleted and there will be no assurance that any SpotterNetwork issues brought up in any of Stormtrack's other sub-forums will be addressed. Do not rely on Stormtrack for help with SpotterNetwork issues.

    Sincerely, Jeff D.

Ehy guys, I was looking for a nice radar app for my iphone 3G but I couldn't be able to find it. Anyone can show me something good? I'd appreciate if I could see tornado warnings as well. Thanks a lot!
 
hi Andrea,

these here are no iPhone apps per say but you can use your iPhone's browser to check these mobile sites :

wap.tornadocentral.com

and

http://mobile.weather.gov/
which has radar loops and they will include the yellow boxes for severe warnings and red boxes for tornado warnings.

look e.g. at the central radars :
http://mobile.weather.gov/radars_cr.html which includes NE, CO, KS and MO

and the southern radars :
http://mobile.weather.gov/radars_sr.html
which include TX, NM and OK

the small image and loop is too small but the "Hi Res " images and radar loops are good.

Thanks Ol, nice stuff.;)
 
I just downloaded Storm Spotter and it looks good so far. (I haven't been able to chase with it) I do love Radar Scope by Base Velocity. The data is great and quick. They just added interstates to it and Spotter Network tracking.

Go with Storm Spotter. It's easily found on the App Store. It's very easy to use and you can poll multiple sites at one time.

Thanks a lot, man, this is the only one that works out in Europe. Very nice app ;) You also have your location on the google maps even if the 3G's position is not one of the best.

a program i have been very happy with for my phone is SwiftWX mobil. Its really good and can use ur phone's gps. How ever there is a monthy fee. you can go to the web site on ur phone and download it www.swiftwx.com
 
I just checked the Storm Spotter and have to say not very happy. I'm hoping they will fix the problem where I can't get the radar to display. All the settings are on and it says No Image Display. It also crashes all the time. An update is coming I hope.

It was working fine the other day, but now nothing...

I am the developer of Storm Spotter. The problems you were having with the radar should be fixed now. The server where I download my images from went down sometime yesterday afternoon and was causing problems, but it is back up now.

The next update will respond to server-side problems better (i.e. notify the user and not crash).
