MyRadar is the fastest, easiest-to-use, weather application that displays animated weather radar around your current location, allowing you to quickly see what weather is coming your way. Just start the app, and your location pops up with animated weather, allowing you to easily see if rain is headed your way.

The map has the standard pinch/zoom capability which allows you to smoothly zoom and pan around the United States and see what the weather is like anywhere.

Additional options include weather warnings and alerts, complete with push notifications, to warn you of severe weather in your area. Great for the start of thunderstorm and tornado season!

MyRadar currently only shows weather in the United States, and only in the 48 contiguous states - not Alaska, Hawaii or Puerto Rico.

Download MyRadar today and try it out... and check out what others are saying about the app:

Finest Weather Radar App Available - ★★★★★

by Mabryan777 (v2.2.1) on Apr 13 2012

I live in Tornado Alley in Northeast Oklahoma in a rural area outside the range of audible alarms. I have my own weather station that uploads to the Internet every few minutes and I have purchased a dozen weather apps because I need to know what is going on. MyRadar is the finest application I have found to date at any price to get fast accurate radar feeds. The application is overlaid on a very high resolution map that pinpoints my exact location so I can quickly see where the severe weather is relative to my house. I upgraded to the pro version to get rid of the ads and upgraded to get the pushed alerts as well. This is the first application I go to when I need good radar fast. The small fees to upgrade are not relevant when it comes to protecting myself, my family and my neighbors.

------

Love it! - ★★★★★
by RenovateKate1 (v2.2.1) on Apr 14, 2012

I live in Tornado Alley and love the severe weather alerts. I tell everyone I know about this app!

No more checking the tv at 4:00am to see where the storm is or wondering if I slept through the tornado sirens.

------

Excellent App - ★★★★★
by Gravenfist (v2.2.1) on Apr 14, 2012

I use this app anytime there is intense weather to know what is happening and what to expect. It was indispensable during the recent tornados in Texas.

------

Better radar than weather channel - ★★★★★

by Louloulou1 - Version 1.3.1 - 03 February 2011

It's latest map update is usually less than ten minutes old Twc app is usually an hour old. And it's free

------

Very, very useful :) - ★★★★★

by PandaHazard - Version 1.3.1 - 04 February 2011

Lately I've been having like one day of school a week because of the latest snow and this app really helped me anticipate the up coming weather. And it's very very accurate. :) good job.

------

Simply works. - ★★★★★

by David Grillot - Version 1.3.1 - 01 February 2011

I use this app just about daily and I must say, I am thrilled. It doesn't overwhelm me with useless features, it just shows me the local radar. I couldn't be happier.
