Description

Rapid Report will be rolled into Chaser Location and fully updated for the November 2020 Spotter Network changes! Rapid Report allows you to report Severe Weather to Facebook, Twitter, Twitpic, and Spotter Network with minimal clicks and typing. When a tornado or large hail is dropping you don't have time to form a lengthy report. This app let's you choose from setup lists for Tornadoes, Hail, etc and add your own customized text to quickly post a picture or text status to Facebook, Twitter and Spotter Network. Drive users to your Live Streaming site or Media Broker for faster action and a more informed public! If you've ever fumbled getting a report out when the chips are down this is the app for you! Because sometimes weather happens and you don't have all your streaming equipment. Get reports out fast with just your Android phone. Use your keyboard Voice to Text to speak your report into the Narrative field.

Don't forget to get the companion app Chaser Location to automatically do the work of the SpotterNetwork client from your Android phone! See also SPC Widget and Hail Scale android apps.

Rapid Report now posts to all three places independently. You don't have to setup sites that you don't want to post to.

Press the Facebook button and go through the steps to authorize the app with FB.

Press the t Setup button to setup Twitter access one time and then you're good to go!

In Settings add your Spotter Network Spotter ID to the setting menu. Be sure to add your encoded number/characters, not your Name or Callsign.

Troubleshooting tip: If you are having trouble logging into Facebook, try this. Uninstall your FB app. Then launch Rapid Report and press the FB login button. Go through the prompts to install a new version of the FB app. This should resolve your problem. There was a bug with older version of the FB app that caused this.

Jan 2016 - Facebook Login is currently broken by the removal of some permissions that this app used. Please use the Twitter and Spotter Network posting until this is fixed in a future release.

Mar 2020 - Twitter and Facebook will no longer be supported. This app will be rolled into Chaser Location and continued support there!

Questions & Answers

Q: What is an APK File?

A: Just like Windows (PC) systems use an .exe file for installing software, Android does the same. An APK file is the file format used for installing software on the Android operating system.

Q: If I install an APK from this website, will I be able to update the app from the Play Store?

A: Yes, absolutely. The Play Store installs APKs it downloads from Google's servers, and sideloading from a site like ApkClean.net goes through a very similar process, except you're the one performing the downloading and initiating the installation (sideloading).
As soon as the Play Store finds a version of the app newer than the one you've sideloaded, it will commence an update.

Q: Why ApkClean.net can guarantee APK 100% safe?

A: Whenever someone wants to download an APK file from ApkClean.net, we'll check the corresponding APK file on Google Play and allow user download it directly (of course, we'll cache it on our server). If the APK file does not exist on Google Play, we'll search it in our cache.

Q: What are Android App permissions?

A: Apps require access to certain systems within your device. When you install an application, you are notified of all of the permissions required to run that application.

Don't hesitate to contact us if you have any questions or concerns.

2 ★It claims to post to all these places"Rapid Report allows you to report Severe Weather to Facebook, Twitter, Twitpic, SpotterNetwork and your ChaserTV iMap account with minimal clicks and typing" but the fact is the one that matters Spotter Network, You have to hit the button on the top right to open there web page And then retype the whole thing.
