Here's a link. http://www.basevelocity.com/RadarScope/index_android.php I'm a big PYKL3 fan, but it is definitely nice to have some competition.

Here's a link. http://www.baseveloc...dex_android.php I'm a big PYKL3 fan, but it is definitely nice to have some competition. I have an HTC Thunderbolt and PYKL3 has had some problems on that specific device. It has been very frustrating to use. I am so thankful for RadarScope. (I love it on my iPod and iPad 2!)

Quakertown needs snow Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 is this worth the $9.99? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brettjrob Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 I haven't been able to locate a trial version so far. As badly as I wanted this program on Android when I bought my phone a year ago, PYKL3 has almost caught up (and should even surpass in some areas with 2.1), and I'm probably not willing to fork over the $10 unless they provide me with the ability to try before I buy and see what compelling advantages it offers.

KokomoWX Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 is this worth the $9.99? Yes. I haven't been able to locate a trial version so far.

As with all Android software, you have 3 (?) days to request a refund? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyclone77 Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 Interesting. When I search for RadarScope in Android Market with my phone it can't find it no matter what I type. Yet if I get on the computer and go to the Android Market it shows up. WTF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dwagner88 Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 If it works like it does on the iPhone, there is no substitute. Worth every penny IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phil882 Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 is this worth the $9.99? Absolutely! You can even plot storm spotter positions in relation to the radar if you have a SpotterNetwork.org account. Very impressive piece of software.

OKpowdah Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 It's an awesome app from what I've seen on the iphone. So definitely excited that it's out for Android now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ellinwood Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 Just downloaded it to my Droid X... works great! If anyone is doubting the $9.99 cost then you haven't seen what this app. is capable of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wxdudemike Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 Does the Android one have all the new features (lightning, storm reports etc...) that are on the iPhone version? If not, I assume it will soon... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SharonA Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 Interesting. When I search for RadarScope in Android Market with my phone it can't find it no matter what I type. Yet if I get on the computer and go to the Android Market it shows up. WTF. Not to be zombie-raising, but I ran into that myself earlier tonight. Searching on "RadarScope" "Radar Scope" and variations of the company name kept returning nothing-found or a few applications that matched on Base Velocity as a feature and not as the company name (grrrrr a nice Advanced Search that let me specify Base Velocity as the publisher would have been nice there). A bit of research showed that Android Market App *does* filter search results sometimes - buried in their Help/Problems is a snippet of info that, paraphrased, is "Sometimes we don't show results found if your phone is not the right model or running the right version of the OS". Unfortunately, the Marketplace App appears to filter in the worst possible way, by saying that application doesn't exist. Instead of something more useful and accurate a la "we found this app but your phone's not running Android 2.2 or higher so the developer doesn't want you to download it". That would haved saved me a couple of hours of frustration and research (it doesn't help that my Motorola CLIQ makes it very difficult to do anything with Android or find out what Android you're running. Mine keeps saying it's up to date when I check System Updates, yet I'm several releases behind on Android because System-Update-Check doesn't look for that, it appears to be looking only for the T-Mobile/Motorola-specific stuff) So my suggestion would be, if you're still having trouble, go to the application page in your regular browser and poke around until you find out what it's compatible with, and then check your phone against those criteria. It may or may not be the cause of why you can't find it. I could be completely wrong. I'm just assuming that's why I can't find it on the phone but can on the PC, since my phone definitely doesn't meet the OS-version-Requirement. Android Marketplace flunks the userfriendly-useful test where that's concerned ... grrrr ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FPizz Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 It comes right up for me when I search the Android marketplace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
okie333 Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 This should be moved to the Weather Marketplace subforum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 I found out why I couldn't get RS to show up in Android Market. It requires at least Android 2.2, and I have 2.1. Luckily PYKL3 only requires 2.1 so at least I can have that lol. Hard to believe my phone is less than a year old and it's OS is already out of date for some of these newer aps.

Ellinwood Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 Bump because they released version 1.2.1 for Android and it's added full capabilities with Spotter Network. If you're not following them yet, it'd be a good idea to follow @basevelocity for updates http://twitter.com/#!/basevelocity Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
