In the Favorites tab, you’ll see options to add the currently selected radar to the list, or to choose another radar to add to the list. You can remove a radar from the list by swiping to the right. You can remove a radar from the list by touching and holding your finger on it, then tapping Delete.

A red dot indicates that the data from that radar are not being received as quickly as expected. The radar may be offline for maintenance or repairs, or a communications link may be down. When the red dot is show, data may no longer be current for that radar, but you may be able to view the last available data.
