• 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.

Radarscope for Mac

please help a complete weather app noob out. How much of a difference is it going to make if i don't go with allisonhouse?

There's a good chance you won't have data for MDT or HIGH risk days in May/June. If you're armchair chasing it's not that big of a deal. If you rely on L3 data while chasing, that's a different story.
 
For those not willing pull the trigger on $29.99....I presume you haven't purchased GRLevel3 for $80. If it has 1/3 of the features of GRLevel3 then the price is about right.

I agree, GRLevel3 is worth every penny of $80, and RadarScope for Mac on its own is worth $29.99. But the Pandora's box is open when you have a $9.99 mobile app on the table.

The convenience and features of a Mac version have to offset the ability for me to just grab my iPad for radar data.
 
I still think Weather Tap is the best value for Mac (or other) users. Has a load of options and is less than $8.00 month I think. Unfortunately, the Weather Tap mobile apps radar has crummy resolution on an iPad and I'm not sure if it uses any accurate ground mapping. Because of data restrictions and limits imposed by Apple on the number of options in apps programming, I am not aware of any mobile apps that combines high-end graphics (though zoom ranges) with a good map overlay. Radar scope is great with Allision House data, but there are no detailed road maps so if you are chasing with this alone, it would be very frustrating. The Storm Spotter app has good mapping, but the radar resolution is not all that great, especially when zoomed. As soon as an iPad app has high resolution Allison House grade radar and detailed street mapping, it will be the one to buy.

Very nice. Not particularly feature-rich yet, but as Tyler suggests, hopefully it will get there. I would love to be able to dump my PC, but GR3 is just too nice. Maybe this will eventually catch up.

Then all I'd need is iMap Tracker software compatible with Macs. :) [/hint]

This is a huge, huge second from myself for iMap Mac compatibility! Please make this happen so I never have to boot Windows again!
