Finally everything we’ve been asking for
RadarScope is the gold standard, but over the years nothing has changed and it’s getting very dated. No street mapping is the biggest downfall of RS when chasing. Also the 10 minute radar refresh makes it almost unusable. I understand that RO is still young and borderline still in beta, but the potential is there! Everything everyone has ever complained about with RS is available with RadarOmega. 5 minute radar refresh and street mapping is amazing. Once spotter network reporting gets implemented I can finally uninstall RadarScope. I appreciate the hard work y’all are doing and the windows app is AMAZING!!! Now if only apple would allow it with CarPlay (we can dream ).
Possibly the new standard?
The newest version of Radar Omega has really upped their game, with the alpha subscription you really have access to most of the information you would need for spotting and chasing Keep up the good work and excellent fast customer support too
Awesome Update... But one thing that isn’t so good
Fantastic update with 3.0! However, I have one pet peeve. Dual view used to be included without a subscription! Why take that away? That’s what really got me into the app. I can’t afford the prices with the subscriptions. They are way to expensive! Please bring back dual-pane back on the basic package! Fantastic performance improvements and thank goodness there isn’t any more lag! Awesome update but please bring dual-pane back to the basic package.
Back to RadarScope
Not user friendly at all. I chased with this for around 15 minutes before going back to RadarScope. The display is often confusing and has way too much going on with it. Most features are pretty hard to navigate. I’d rather forego some features and enjoy the simplicity of other apps.
RadarOmega
Without any doubt, no other developer’s radar product has given me the satisfaction in seeing not only the progress of the application’s features but the excellence of the customer service in such a short period of time. Please continue to excel!! Would certainly choose this application over most other apps; the subscription prices are quite fair considering the quality and content and the detailed user’s guide. I’m considering to subscribe again pending authorization of developer given my opinion above. There are a lot of new features that make this application stand out and the staff deserves some kudos for the work they have done. The updated manual will be indispensable to get the most out this high quality features
Keeps crashing
Some extra options over radar scope but since the app keeps crashing I can't really use it hope it gets fixed
Great app to stay weather aware
Absolutely love this app. Has had a few bugs but have seen them get worked out firsthand. Great people at radaromega that are ready to help. The detail is great. Nothing is perfect but def getting better every day and I would have rated 4.5 stars but since a half is not available it is a 5.
Map Problems
Just recently got the app and so far 2 complaints. First, is the radar quality. Quality is low until zoomed in. Second (the larger issue in my opinion), the zooming is very finicky. It’s not fluid and seems to jump around a lot. Would love to see this issue get resolved. Also, the app is EXTREMELY laggy when moving around and zooming in and out. It’s now to the point where I can even use the app and just open Radar Scope instead and get a lag free experience. This needs major work!!! Last, why do I need to allow my location to be used EVERY time I hit current location. Extremely unnecessary and annoying.
iPad App
This has some great tools and I can see it being extremely handy, but it doesn’t run smoothly on the iPhone and iPad app. I hope improvements continue to come. I can see this being just as good, if not better, than RadarScope. *Update- It’s getting better.
Very good!
After watching so many of Reed Timmer’s screenshots of RO, I finally gave in. There are a number of things that I prefer with this app as opposed to RadarScope. I still like RadarScope a tad better, but I love the color ratio much better, and I love being able to tap on a tornado warning and instantly it says whether it’s a confirmed or radar indicated so I don’t have to read through the warning to find out. Once they get the finicky zoom in/out, this will be my favorite. It’s definitely worth the $9! Great job, Radar Omega! I’m a very pleased customer!
