One touch, and the rain at that exact spot explains itself—revealing intensity, precipitation type, cloud and air temperatures, and live national alerts, while making even the tiniest rain pockets easy to pinpoint and compare.

When every drop matters, so does every pixel.

We use professional radar networks and preserve the highest possible resolution, so you get a granular, real-time view you can actually act on.

Best Data Available

Street-Level Detail

We stitch hundreds of radar images into one map at up to 100-meter resolution. You see precipitation down to individual streets, not just a general rain zone across your city.

Instant Updates

Radar servers polled every 2-5 minutes. Other apps often update every 30 minutes or less frequently. In fast-moving storm conditions, that gap may change everything.

“Great weather app. It does its job well. Obviously, the paid plan has more options and is more valuable. But the free one is very functional.”
