Some personality levels occasionally include references to mild sexual content, profanity, crude humor, and suggestive themes that may offend some users, but the app comes with a pro settings option that dials all of that back.

04 out of 04Best for Weather Pros: RadarScope
Reliable radar images from various locations around the world.
A great choice for science or weather enthusiasts.
Definitely not an iPhone weather app for the average person.
Expensive app and subscription prices.
There is a problem with the Apple Watch version.
RadarScope is a high-end iPhone app for those interested in the science behind the day's weather rather than casually checking the likelihood of rain. The app allows you to view NEXRAD Level 3 and super-resolution radar data, tracking storms, tornadoes and other weather conditions in stunning detail, with data updated every few minutes.
With an initial cost of $9.99, and additional in-app purchases for membership subscriptions ranging from $9.99 to $99, RadarScope is ideal for dedicated weather enthusiasts rather than casual users.
RadarScope is compatible with iPhones running iOS 12 or later, iPads running iPadOS 12 or later, and Apple Watch.
