This version of RadarOmega resolves issues that were presented with the 3.0 update.. Thank you for your patience through the transition from the legacy version to this version.
First you will notice a dramatic improvement in the mapping interface performance.. Panning and zooming around the map is no where near as tedious and in most cases should be very smooth. Older devices could still experience some issues, however testing has been favorable and dramatic improvements should still be noted here.
You will notice that cities and roadways now overlay nicely over the radar data. This is a dramatic improvement you will notice over the previous release, further adding to the improved stabilization of the user interface performance.
We have brought back dual view for subscribers. We do appreciate the patience on this, we had anticipated bringing this back much sooner however it became clear we had more important issues to address and it did not make much sense to bring in dual view with a mapping interface that was extremely lagging. Once we corrected this, we developed the revamped dual functionality which you will find performs MUCH better than when it was available in our legacy version of RadarOmega.
Custom Location Dashboard has returned in this update. You can now set locations by tapping on the map or typing in a location to place custom markers on the map.
Spotter Network has returned, with the ability to see spotter locations. We do have planned full integration for Spotter Network members to share locations & send reports, this implementation has been delayed due to refactoring the mapping system.
Other work that you will not visually see but is very important is that we have reduced the data sizes being sent, allowing for faster radar site loading, reduced data delays in poor service areas and overall improved radar data reliability. We have implemented sockets to allow for real-time data transmission, which removes the need for user devices to poll for the latest data, meaning if there is new data, it will be pushed to your device.
Other modifications include menu streamlining, we moved Radar Settings to the side menu.
We have converted all image based icons to SVG, further reducing the amount of data users have to download while improving visual quality.
Overall you should find this update a dramatic improvement over the previous release. We know we still are not perfect, we are going to continue to push for continued improvement as we are fully aware of the requirements of playing in the space of a non conventional weather and radar data provider. Premium applications require premium execution and we understand your requirements of our application to continue to improve.
