All we need now are storm tracks like GR does, and I'd consider it a perfect app for chasing "lite". I'm glad AllisonHouse continues to help RS - as I'm a fan of both products.

Storm tracks aren't needed since it loops, I'd love to see lightning and then it's the killer chasing app...

Just downloaded the update! I LOVE the warning information
Tyler, is there any way that I dont know about, or that is in the works, to report to your SN account through the iPhone? Ive tried it through the website, but it was very time consuming. I often submit when chasing with a partner, however a iPhone app or support through RadarScope would be handy for solo chases

Granted, you can kind of make out direction and speed from watching a loop. When out chasing, I love how GR has hatches every 15 minutes so you can make the agonizing decision of "will I beat this hail core to XYZ intersection" easier. In addition to tracks, storm attributes including POH/POSH would be fantastic so you know what kind of hail you can expect should you fail to beat it to the intersection
Don't get me wrong - I love RadarScope and use it all the time in the field. I had an email exchange with the author a few months ago and he said he'd look into tracks/attributes at some point but that he was working on warnings at the time.

Any official source? Would like to tweet/blog about it, but I need something official to tie to it. They never seem to update their press page:

Yep - the App Store lists the new features of this release.

Nice update. Love the addition of warning information and the interface for accessing the alerts. For future releases, it would be great to have the ability to select which type of warnings are shown (i.e. turn off flash flood warnings) to minimize screen clutter.

I'd be okay if FFW's were able to be turned off...

On a phone made by the biggest a-holes in the tech industry for a network whose commercials take pride in only covering people and not area, honestly - what use is this to anyone chasing or spotting in any area short of right off an interstate?
It's too bad that they've expressed no interest in porting this to the Android medium and realizing the large, untapped market this would provide, because reprogramming would be "too difficult" and "not worth it," lol. It's probably just an effect from that same bug that causes them to not update their news page.
Don't worry about me, I'm just mad because nobody is bothering to develop a good radar app for a device I thought would be the next big thing

Come chase here - maybe that's one good thing about Michigan chasing
I've never been in a no-signal area, even well off expressways. Clearly 3G isn't widespread outside of the city, but you don't need that to have radar updates.Darrin Rasberry

That's probably because Michigan has high-density population (unless you're in the U.P.). Iowa and the Midwest you can't beg for an AT&T reception lol. AT&T saves $$ by only building their towers by higher concentrations of people - they care more about that than actual land coverage, and I doubt they'll ever change.

Wow..just a little angst. If you can't get service for your iPhone you can't get service for your laptop (assuming you on AT&T).
It's like complaining that Mike @ Gibson Ridge doesn't support Apple's. Small companies don't have the resources to support every operating system or phone platform. I guess you could ask the RadarScope guys to charge $50 per app, then they'd have enough money to support multiple platforms.

You're just mad you purchased a device that has no good radar apps.

You can submit your position, but not your report. Reports are coming in a future version.
