Radar Omega is what I use for my back up radar on my phone and it is a radarscope copycat for I believe $1.99

It adds so much more data ... try a trial and see what you think.

I recently downloaded RadarUS+ for iOS. RadarScope is of course my primary radar app, but it does not provide a regional or national composite view; RadarUS+ gives me that big picture perspective on what’s going on - more for my morning forecast, when I want to see if there is any ongoing convection.
I also use the RadarUS+. I use it for an overall picture of ongoing convection and also use it on the way to the target area before I switch to RadarScope. I like the road map that is imbedded in it.
There is a free GOES 16 satellite app. It’s called SSEC GOES. The loop takes longer than i’d like to load, but it does provide your position on the map which is helpful.

Thanks Todd. I have been looking for something that would plot my position on a sattelite image.

Anyone know of an iPhone app other than RadarScope that allows me to update my SN location? Switched over to Mac this year due to work and no longer have the option for SN app on my computer.

Are there any radar sites that one can access with a web browser that will also show one's position? Even better, overlay on Google maps.

Thanks for the SSEC GOES recommendation Todd! That’s the first app I have seen that includes positioning on a satellite image, which is very useful; I remember countless times jerking around trying to relate features to my position by estimating relative to state borders or the few major highways that appeared on the satellite map. The reviews for SSEC GOES say that it loads very slowly, particularly the animations, but hopefully that improves. I do wish Satsquatch would add positioning. I could still see needing to use both, one for estimating my own position and one for better speed, resolution and other surface data.

I started playing with this yesterday after someone mentioned it somewhere. For the price, definitely a great find. I figure it’s probably as close to GR2AE as you’re going to get for a mobile app. Right now, it’s iOS only, but it seems to be a newer app and the devs are open to suggestions.

PUB, Pueblo Colorado, also encourages social media, especially Twitter. And direct phone calls for life threatening events.
