Concerned about nuclear radiation levels, due to fallout from damaged nuclear reactors, nuclear tests, or other events?
Radiation Map Tracker connects to our extensive network of constantly updating, real time, nuclear radiation detectors, all run by volunteers, not government agencies. This app lets you determine what levels of radiation are being reported at various locations around the world. You can scroll around the map and zoom in on readings. Readings are continuously updated every few minutes.
It displays the current ionizing radiation reading from these detectors on an easy to use world map, in uR/hr, one of the standard units of measurement for radiation. You can scroll around and zoom in to your area. Typical background (naturally occurring) radiation values near sea level are in the 10 to 20 uR/hr range. Higher readings naturally occur at higher elevations due to cosmic rays from outer space.
Tapping on one of the readings will bring up a chart of the last few days worth of readings. You can even smooth out the variations by adjusting the number of samples averaged per plotted point, to bring out subtle variations.
Buy a copy of Radiation Map Tracker, and youll never be in the dark about nuclear radiation levels again.
Latest reviews of Radiation Map Tracker displays worldwide radiation app for iPhone and iPad
Its a ripoff! Do not buy! Doesnt do anything! I want my 99 cents back! My rating is 0 stars
Right now this app is nothing more then some dots with numbers on it and not worth getting. I recommend adding more to it such as more info on what the numbers mean. I dont know anything about radiation. So give me a button leading to a chart telling me things like what level a microwave puts out, how much the sun gives off, what an Xray machine puts out, how much a modern bomb an release, what level becomes lethal, etc... just some point of reference. Also you say the data gets updated often please provide a chart should the last time the sites gave you new data. I want to know if a site has not pushed new day in a while.
Dont buy this app!!! Its just a map, with no legend, instructions, explanation or anything! I feel like a fool for purchasing this! Dont make the same mistake I did.
I was hoping this map would be something like the Safecast. It is not. The lack of information about the equipment used to produce the measurements also makes the data set suspect. They really should have used uSv/hr or equivalent. I do regret purchasing this app.
Everyone should have this.
