Pros and cons of gRadar Lite app for iPhone and iPad
gRadar Lite app good for
Very clear, very reliable, and easy to check either larger small areas. Great app considering its free. Would like more than 30 minutes of info though.
This app could show a little more of what the weather is going to be
Seems to work well in Hungary where as Accucast nor Weather Network do not!!!
This is a wonderful App and was extremely valuable during my recent trip up north to Canada. There were huge snowstorms in the Midwest and I was able to re-route to avoid all the bad weather.
There are thousands of maps available but this one is really very comprehensive and useful.
This app is quite accurate for the GTA. Being north east of the the T.O. Its been more precise then the weather people on tv.
Some bad moments
Lite version,so far only show what happend last hour and not showing whats oncoming.
Better than my other rain-radar app but Not as Good as I was hoping. It has not a real forecast, in my opinion
I love this simple app. Im not sure I understand it, wish there was more in the way of explanation about what youre looking at, but still, by visual.
I like is app. My only issue is that I would like to have some "help" so I could use it better and more efficiently. with that in mind I am going to try to research a little online.
Im in Montreal, I ask app to use my position ... It zoomed at my location, I saw clouds but when I zoom out to a much bigger area .... the radar images dont show up at all.
Not as useful as I had hoped it would be, but does give some indication of the severe weather
