SatSquatch is your all-in-one professional weather data app: satellite data, full-resolution Level II radar, forecast models, mesoanalysis and more, layered however you like on a fast, GPU-drawn map.
SATELLITE
• All 16 GOES-East and GOES-West bands, Himawari-9 full disk, True Color and core composites
• RGB composites such as Air Mass, Day Cloud Phase and Fire Temperature (Pro)
• GLM lightning and LightningCast (Pro)
• GOES fire detections
RADAR
• Level II radar from every NEXRAD and TDWR site: reflectivity, dealiased and storm-relative velocity, spectrum width and the dual-pol moments (ZDR, CC, KDP, PHI)
• Every tilt, echo tops, VIL, MESH, azimuthal shear, rotation tracks, ZDR columns and a tornado debris overlay
• Storm-relative velocity from the radar's own storm tracks
• 15-second refresh, with live sweeps (Pro)
• Radar cross-sections (Pro)
• MRMS composite reflectivity and precipitation, plus hail, rotation, echo tops, rainfall totals and flash flood guidance (Pro)
ARCHIVE MODE (PRO)
• Replay any past date: GOES satellite back to 2017, Level II radar back to 1991, MRMS back to 2020, GLM lightning and fire detections
• That day's warnings, watches, SPC outlooks and storm reports, as they stood at the time
FORECAST MODELS
• HRRR, RRFS, GFS, RTMA and URMA
• ECMWF IFS and AIFS, RAP, AIGFS, NBM and the GEFS, REFS, AIGEFS and AIFS ENS ensembles (Pro)
• Filled contours, labelled contour lines, wind barbs and animated wind particles
• 18 built-in presets, from 500 mb heights and vorticity to reflectivity over updraft helicity tracks
• Run-to-run trends and one-tap model compare
• Point soundings with skew-T, hodograph and parameters, cross-sections and meteograms (Pro)
• Ensemble probabilities, spaghetti and plumes (Pro)
ANALYSIS AND OVERLAYS
• NWS warnings and watches, SPC, WPC and CPC outlooks, METARs, storm reports, ProbSevere, WPC fronts and Nadocast
• Mesoanalysis, observed soundings and VAD winds (Pro)
• Tropical model tracks, with ensemble tracks (Pro)
CUSTOMIZABLE MAPS
• Stack any layers in any order, with per-layer opacity and display units
• 49 colormap presets and a full colormap editor
• GRLevelX colour table import and export (Pro)
• Saved presets, saved locations, annotations and a satellite basemap (Pro)
• Split screen with synced panes, a data inspector and measuring tools
• Animated wind with a level slider from 10 m to 250 mb
• Loops of up to 72 frames; export images, GIFs and videos
• Settings and favorites synced across devices
SatSquatch Pro is an auto-renewing subscription that unlocks the features marked (Pro).

Been using this app for a few years now and have always been so impressed by how quick I’m able to access data. Having a separate resource for crucial chasing information makes analysis so much easier to digest and utilize. Can’t wait to experience 2.0!
Solid and reliable

I can always count on this app to have satellite data even when some others are down.
Minor issues

This app is fantastic. I’ve only had 2 minor issues that have been constant. First is if I’ve had the app already open and it resets in the background and I go back to it, it will give me a data error when trying to choose anything. Closing the app completely and reopening solves this. Also I’m still not able to have my pro subscription crossover to another device (both iOS.) aside from those 2 small things this so far is amazing.
