Top Pcmac Reviews

Really great, but NEEDS performance improvements!

By watj (Pcmac user)

I love the functionality, but I can’t fathom the reason for the absurdly long loading times for animations. The College of duPage web app viewer, while not mobile-friendly, loads nearly instantly even on my phone. This app routinely takes over 30 seconds to load an imagery loop, so I find I rarely use it.
Slow loading but good app

By easternsierrastrms (Pcmac user)

Really need to speed up load times. If it was faster it would be an amazing app.
Been waiting for this

By mikenyc69 (Pcmac user)

Always wondered why nobody developed an app like this - a multi product, full resolution, awesomely flexible satellite viewer. Performance could be improved a bit (some of the animations take a long time to load) but overall this is an awesome app for any serious weather enthusiast or professional. Great job guys.
Best weather satellite app ever

By Bdcoley3 (Pcmac user)

This is seriously the best app for viewing Visible & Infrared products. While there are more products those two are my favorites. I love seeing the swirls in the clouds as severe storms build and form. Watching Hurricane Harvey form & the eye transitions made this so worth it.
