What's New in Version 1.2.1* Added new Radar Site: Langley Hill, WA (LGX)* Fixed bugs related to iOS 5.0 * Other minor bug fixes NOTE: This is the last version that will be supported on iOS 3.x Customer ReviewsStill no Google Maps animation (3 stars)Despite recent update still NO Google maps animation? App has said Google maps animation coming for 8-9 months!! Please animate Google maps like other good radar sites. Still no animated google maps (3 stars) What a bummer, I use this app a lot and it's great for local radar, when I saw the update in the app store my eyes shined with hope only to be let down by the updates made to the app, would give it 5 star but still no google maps animation, it was promised almost a year ago. A decent radar app (5 stars) Not a bad app for a buck. Most of the time it loads quickly, and you have access to all radars in the US. I recently went on a business trip and it located the radar for where I was visiting immediately, which is good because I had no clue trying to find it on a list. Very happy with this app!
