NoAd Radar
A little help

Back to the weather.

Quick answers for your radar, widgets, and weather alerts.

How do I set up my widget?

Open NoAd Radar and allow location access first. Then touch and hold your Home Screen, choose Edit, and add the NoAd Radar widget. Choose the size that works for you.

Why hasn’t the widget refreshed?

iOS decides when widgets can refresh, so updates aren’t continuous. Opening NoAd Radar requests a refresh, but iOS may defer it. Check your internet connection and the widget’s timestamp.

“Last Checked” shows a successful check. “Last radar” appears when fresh radar is unavailable, so you can tell that the displayed weather may be older.

How do weather notifications work?

Enable weather notifications in NoAd Radar’s settings and allow notifications when iOS asks. Alerts use your last registered location. Open the app after traveling to update it.

If alerts aren’t appearing, check iOS notification permissions, Focus settings, and your internet connection. Notifications can be delayed or unavailable; always keep another source of official weather warnings.

What if my location is wrong?

Check Settings → Privacy & Security → Location Services → NoAd Radar. Allow location while using the app, then reopen NoAd Radar and tap the location control. If you use approximate location, the displayed position may be less exact.

Is future radar a forecast?

Future radar estimates where precipitation may move. It is separate from observed radar and is not an official National Weather Service forecast. Conditions can change.

Where does NoAd Radar work?

NoAd Radar currently supports only the contiguous United States (CONUS): the lower 48 states and Washington, D.C. Alaska, Hawaii, U.S. territories, and other countries are not currently covered. An internet connection is required to retrieve weather and map data.
