iPhone weather radar

PocketRadar

Weather radar for quick iPhone checks.

PocketRadar puts animated rain and snow radar on your iPhone so you can read precipitation movement before you leave, commute, run, ride, or plan around changing weather.

PocketRadar weather radar map on iPhone

See rain and snow movement instead of guessing from a percentage.

Forecast summaries are useful, but radar is the faster tool when you need to know what is near you right now.

01 / MOTION

Animated radar

Use timeline playback to see whether precipitation is moving toward your location or away from it.

02 / READABILITY

Map styles and palettes

Choose a radar palette and map view that make rain and snow easier to read at a glance.

03 / GLANCE

Widgets and Watch

Keep nearby precipitation visible from iPhone widgets and Apple Watch when opening the full app is too much.

Built around the map

PocketRadar keeps the radar map central instead of burying it under news cards, long forecast modules, and generic weather clutter. Open the app, check the motion, and decide what to do next.

It is made for short-term weather decisions: whether to leave now, wait for a shower to pass, carry rain gear, or check snow movement before driving.

Useful for

  • Checking rain before a commute
  • Watching snow bands approach
  • Planning walks, runs, and rides
  • Reading precipitation from iPhone, widgets, and Apple Watch

Radar coverage, update timing, and weather data availability vary by region. Use official alerts for severe weather and safety-critical decisions.

Check the radar before you go.

PocketRadar is available on the App Store.
