Storm Spotter is an iPhone and iPad weather radar application. Here is a basic rundown of its key features (from the App Store's listing).
* Support for Base Reflectivity (124 nm or 248 nm), Composite Reflectivity, Base Velocity, Storm Relative Velocity, One Hour Rainfall, Storm Total Rainfall, Vertically Integrated Liquid, and Echo Tops.
* A customizable Google Maps (Standard, Satellite, Hybrid, or Terrain) display that allows you to set the opacity of the radar image as well as turn the warnings display on of off.
* A complete warnings list (Tornado, Severe Thunderstorm, and Flash Flood) that also allows you to view the text file for the warning.
* Storm Spotter will automatically connect to the radar closest to the center of the screen so you can just pan around the map to see weather occurring at different parts of the country (configurable and unique to Storm Spotter).
* iPad, iPhone 4, iPhone 3GS, and iPhone 3G users can use the GPS to display their location on the map. Great for storm chasing, or just avoiding the storm altogether. The original iPhone can display location based on cell phone tower triangulation and iPod Touches can be located based on their IP address.
* Radar animation is available, plus the ability to manually navigate between frames (only iOS app that can do this).
* The ability to connect to multiple radars simultaneously so more than one radar will stay updated (Note: Only one radar can be displayed at a time, but the other connected radars will continue to download data in the background)
* Saves images of connected radars between launches so you won't have to download the same image over and over again
* Shake your device to check for updates for the warnings and all of the connected radars (otherwise checks every 2 minutes).
* View all all 155 radars on the map, or see them in a list organized by state or as a list of your favorites.
* Entire application can run in landscape mode and the map can run in full screen.
I would appreciate y'all checking it out and letting me know you opinion of it. I originally designed it for chasing so it would love to hear feedback from the chaser community.
Thank you,
