In short

Raindar is a free rain radar app for Android created by Gerrit van Doorn. And this is a perfect way to plan next hunt.

Highlights

The only downside is the use of old Google Maps APIs

Fun to see the storm fronts

I like the storm track and ability to see tornado and hail coming

Its much faster than any weather service's weather maps

Great simple radar app with no junk bundled in

Best radar app I found

Works great s2 This is by far my favorite radar app

Works flawlessly and uses very little CPU time

And it helps me schedule work

Best reason to have app

Time stamp WAY too small

Storm tracking does not work

I think the screen resolution is messing it up

Only way to refresh the image is too move it around the screen

WTH happened to the storm tracks

The apps radar just stopped working out here in Puerto Rico

Storm tracks stopped working on my Galaxy s6

Was in thunderstorms multiple times and it showed nothing

Fix this and I will give it a higher rate

I turned it on and off multiple times with no success

Description

Rain coming? Check Raindar! Animated Doppler radar on Google Maps for the US. Now also on Google TV and tablet! Going somewhere and you're not sure if you need to bring your umbrella? Want to check if there's going to be fresh powder snow on the slopes in Tahoe tomorrow? Check Raindar! Raindar displays animated Doppler radar images on your Google Map. When you start Raindar it automatically focuses on your location so you can quickly see if there is precipitation coming your way. When pressing the search button on your phone you can now also search for locations within the US! Raindar works out of the box but has many configuration options (see the recent changes page). Color: - green/yellow/red is rain - blue/white is snow Raindar can now also display storm tracks! It displays different icons for each of the 4 types of storms: - Yellow circle: thunderstorm - Yellow square: Hail Storm - Yellow diamond: Rotating Thunderstorm (Mesocyclone) - Magenta triangle: Tornado Vortex Signature (pretty heavy!) When clicking on one of those icons a dialog will appear with detailed information. The storm tracks also display the direction and speed of the storm in the form of an arc. The arc is split in 3 parts: 20, 40 and 60 minutes until the storm reaches that area. On Google TV: - Use the D-pad for navigate up/down/left/right - Use the media forward/back or next/previous buttons to zoom in and out Radar images and storm track data courtesy of Weather Underground. Raindar displays images from the WunderMap. Geocoding courtesy of GeoNames.org. If you find a bug, or have suggestions, contact me by email.
