StormEye provides detailed information about the storms around you using a compass. For each storm near you, StormEye tells you important information such as the storm's location relative to your location, where the storm is heading, the storm's intensity, hail probabilities, and maximum hail size.
No data displaying? Your NWS radar may be down. Check here: http://weather.noaa.gov/monitor/radar3/
StormEye works by determining your current location using GPS or the network (or with an address/zip code) and then downloading data from the National Weather Service for the closest weather radar to your location. That data is then used to construct a weather radar with markers and storm tracks for every detected storm. The radar and storm tracks are displayed using a compass for easy orientation of where the storms are from your location.

• automatically finds your location using GPS or network
• manually enter your location with an address/zip code

I love the concept and am liking the display. I would give five stars if it would display multiple radar sites at once. Need more radar input.

Would not reload and update new screen after 15 min on my Samsung epic. It said it was updating but another warning said data was 2 hrs old.

But it has not updated in 2.5 days for radar from Grand Rapids, Michigan on my Incredible 1. Also, the compass is malfunctioning and won't recalibrate
