A serious consumer weather platform — live radar with official warning areas drawn right on the map, the forecaster's own discussion translated into plain language, phone alerts that wake you before the siren does, and a Pro tier that puts chaser-grade radar tools in anyone's pocket.
The free tier is a complete, polished weather app: forecasts, radar, and a personal threat read that answers the only question that matters — "what's my risk, and what do I do?"
Current conditions, hourly strips, 7-day outlooks, plain-language day narratives, air quality and UV — the daily-driver view.
A pannable, animated nationwide radar map with watch boxes and warning areas drawn right on it — see the whole country's weather at a glance.
The forecaster's own written discussion — the actual analysis meteorologists write — sectioned and annotated with plain-language hints, so you get the "why" behind the forecast.
One page fuses official warnings, the live threat index, and outlook data into a single color-coded headline plus action steps for your exact location.
Pick your saved places and get push alerts on escalation — warnings and threat-tier changes, deduplicated so it only speaks up when something changes.
Track home, family, and the places you care about — the whole app, alerts included, follows every one of them.
The Pro tier unlocks the tools serious weather-watchers pay dedicated apps for — single-site Level-2 radar (the raw, full-detail feed straight from the radar site), forecast-model maps, atmospheric profiles, and storm-environment analysis — backed by real accounts and Google Play Billing.
The Android app is being rebuilt as a true native Android app — not a website in a wrapper. It runs on the same live data feed as the web app, so all the forecasting and analysis machinery is reused unchanged; the rebuild is pure interface.
The national mosaic and Level-2 radar draw directly on smooth, on-device maps — including the synced dual-pane Compare view.
An always-on alert service streams warnings and posts high-priority notifications — verified end to end on a real phone.
In-app Pro subscriptions through Google Play, verified with Google's servers before Pro unlocks — plus signed release builds ready for the store.
Honest line, always shown: Spotter Weather is experimental and defers to the National Weather Service for official warnings. Life-safety information carries the disclaimer everywhere it appears.
