Velocity
Maintenance developmentnew contentUX improvementsShow more...
The app maintained a consistent development pace through early 2026, averaging roughly one release every two to three weeks during its active period. Development focused heavily on UI refinements, dual-pane functionality, and new radar mosaic data. However, the cadence has stalled significantly, with no new builds shipped in the last 105 days. The current state reflects a shift away from the previous feature-heavy development cycle toward a maintenance posture.

What do users think recently?
Review voice lately leans mixed. Users appreciate high-resolution radar imagery provides accurate storm tracking that users rely on for daily safety decisions and dual-pane display functionality allows power users to compare multiple weather loops simultaneously on one screen, but report recent updates cause the radar map to load as a blank screen on multiple devices.

Key takeaways for MyRadar Weather Radar Pro
Where is it heading?
The weather app market is consolidating around high-stability, radar-first tools, and MyRadar's current technical regressions leave it exposed to rivals with faster update cadences. Without a fix for the radar-loading bugs, the app risks losing its #7 Grossing position to competitors that offer more reliable, feature-rich experiences.
- Radar-loading failures in the latest update erode the daily active habit, which compounds the rating drag already visible on Android.
- Allegations of unauthorized data sharing drive long-term subscriber churn, threatening the recurring revenue base of the Pro and Aviation tiers.
The SWOT
- Patent-pending predictive rain-alert model drives high daily engagement
- Radar-first, ad-free interface reduces cognitive load for power users
- Apple Watch complications would improve accessibility for users requesting quick status checks

Apple Watch complications (available in The Weather Channel but missing here)
Since the last report: Technical regressions including radar-loading failures and GPS errors have soured user sentiment, shifting the overall outlook from positive to mixed despite the app maintaining its #7 Grossing position.
Bottom line
Addressing the radar-loading regressions is critical to maintaining the app's #7 Grossing position, as technical instability is currently the primary driver of churn. Stabilizing the core radar utility will protect the revenue stream from the Pro upgrade and annual aviation subscriptions.
