The smoothest live radar of any weather app.
Forecasts that actually move.
Most weather apps render a single static radar frame, then jump to the next. WeatherScope's patent-pending pipeline interpolates between frames so storms move continuously across the map — the way they actually move in the sky. Combined with intelligent alerts that learn what conditions matter to you, you'll see weather coming before it arrives.
- Patent-pending smooth-animation radar playback
- Personalized intelligent alerts (storms, temperature drops, wind shifts)
- Severe weather warnings with lead time
- Hourly and 10-day forecasts with high-resolution detail
- Cited, source-tagged weather data — not aggregated guesses
- Multi-location tracking with one-tap switching
The only live radar on your wrist.
Other weather apps put a sun icon and a number on the Apple Watch. WeatherScope renders an actual NEXRAD radar map — animated, full-color, with your location pinned — natively on the watch. Add a complication to any watch face, get severe-weather alerts the moment they arrive, and check conditions without reaching for your phone.
- Native live radar map on Apple Watch — no other weather app has this
- Current conditions and hourly forecast on your wrist
- Complications for every watch face style
- Alerts delivered directly to the watch
- Quick-glance one-tap interaction
- Works independently of your phone when paired with cellular
Built for how you use weather.
The same data backbone that powers our aviation products feeds WeatherScope — meaning the conditions reported are sourced from the same NEXRAD, NWS, NOAA, and global model feeds that pilots rely on for go/no-go decisions. You just get a beautiful consumer-grade interface on top.
