DYNAMIC MODEL VIEWING: Many weather apps display radar and satellite data on a mobile device, but WeatherFront revolutionizes the way you look at model data. Say goodbye to opening up web browsers on your phone and awkwardly zooming in to view HRRR or NAM output. Navigate model data with unparalleled user control as you zoom and pan to the domain that fits your needs. Click on a location to show a model sounding in an instant. Whether you want to check out the forecast across the globe or at your home, WeatherFront provides unparalleled access to model viewing. You have probably never seen model data from this vantage point before!
SEAMLESS DATA TRANSITIONS: In this game-changing app, you can view radar, satellite, model data, observations, and outlooks in a seamless user interface. Toggle back and forth between RTMA or HRRR Analysis observations, current radar, and SPC mesoscale discussions to determine what hazards are imminent and where they are headed. WeatherFront streamlines your toolbox into one easy-to-use app that will significantly simplify your experience!
DETAILED BASEMAPS & OFFLINE MAPS: Detailed basemaps enhance the user experience even further. WeatherFront equips you with a high-quality Basemap to assist with navigation, determine the exact location of a storm, and leave no doubt about which risk level your house is in. If you’re heading out on a storm chase or damage survey in a rural location, choose the domain size and level of detail for offline maps so you have all the information you need.
SWITCH BETWEEN RADARS: Viewing radar data on a mobile device has never been easier than with WeatherFront. You can press and hold anywhere on the screen to switch to the nearest radar. If you see a Tornado Warning, cluster of lightning strikes, or simply want to check the radar in a location across the country, WeatherFront allows you to switch between radars with unmatched ease!

As someone who has been studying the weather and tracking it consistently for years now, it has been hard to find multiple good radar apps. Tracking tornadoes and hurricanes from a meteorological standpoint is completely different from using your normal precipitation map that people call the “radar.” As for actual radar apps, there’s really only a few that have dominated for years. This one just became a contender for that list in the first hour of its release. It has more features than any other free radar app on the market. In addition to this, you really can’t just call this a radar app. Yes, it has all of the radar features (with precipitation and velocity in super resolution) but it has so much more. It also has real time satellite data along with the GFS and HRRR weather models (hopefully more to come in the future). This is something that very few apps have and to my knowledge, this one does it better than any other. You can also overlay weather forecasts on top of all these things and with an amazing road map, I’d assume storm chasers will also gladly start using this. There isn’t a weather app I recommend more than this one!
absolutely AMAZING

I have been using this for a month of so and I LOVE IT SO MUCH!!! If I am looking for weather information THIS HAS IT! It shows the velocity, it shows reflectivity, and it also has dual polarization, precipitation type, precipitation accumulation, and derived products and thats all just under radar AND FREE. You can have dual radars, I personally use velocity and reflectivity together. I am not someone who chases storms or really studies them in any professional way, I am simply someone who is fascinated by the information and data I can look at. It has everything I would like to be in an app as someone who is just looking out of interest and fascination of looking and watching supercells and storms. If you are looking for something that tells you data that is accurate and reliable this is definitely the best one I have used to date.
Super Excited

I saw this app mentioned on wxtwitter and am greatly impressed! This app has a lot of similarities to RadarScope (which I love) and offers several premium data layers for free. Some examples are the satellite basemap and lightning data. Additionally, the weather models are great! In the past I’ve always viewed weather models on a computer, as they are usually not very mobile friendly. But this app works so well on my phone and offers numerous models and runs. I’m hoping (unless I haven’t found it yet) that users will be able to eventually link and submit Spotter Network & mPING reports to the map. This was really helpful during Hurricane Helene. An annual premium subscription option would be neat too! Overall, I never leave app reviews, but I’m so excited about this app and to see where it goes :)
So many functions!

I originally heard of this app from the YouTuber Max Velocity and I decided to get it just to see if it was any good since it was free and WOW. This has so many features for being a free app! This has more features than even some paid apps I’ve seen. I used to be a RadarScope loyalist (no subscription though, only base app) but honestly, this may be my new go-to weather app and my go-to recommendation for those who want to get into storm tracking. This has the features of that app and more. And I just heard that a $10 subscription can get you even more than this somehow! Honestly seeing the base version, I didn’t know you could pack much more into it. Thank you for making an accessible and comprehensive weather app for us weather nerds!
Developer Response
Glad you’re enjoying it! Definitely recommend trying the 7-day free trial during active weather so you can get a flavor for all of the features. We think it’s a great value when you see all of the models, satellite products, and features like route planning that come with the Advanced subscription!
