  1. AnaLuv says:

    Radar is the best community love this community I don’t have anything negative to say about them they diserve this award :)

  2. Stephanie says:

    Radar is AWESOME. It’s highly uncommon for a person to be able to talk with the team that runs the application, but not only does Radar have that, their team actually *loves* doing it. Not only has Radar given me tips on how to use my camera phone to take amazing shots, they helped me get involved with my city. I want to see it and show them the beauty through my eyes. I’ve made many friends, learned so much, and I feel like they genuinely care. Radar is the best program out there for camera phone users, no doubt whatsoever!

  3. RonJon2030 says:

    Radar is a great concept, brilliantly executed. The community is friendly and funky, the team are wonderfully accessible and the whole experience is hugely addictive!

    The iPhone app is very slick. It’s fast, easy to use and beautifully designed. Radar is setting new standards that will lead the way for ‘camera phone photo blogging networks’, and for this reason should win this award.

  4. reflejandome says:

    it is amazing !!!!

  5. radardave says:

    Radar is hands down my favorite social network. I’ve made friends all over the US due to this site. Love the idea of camera phone based comments. In fact I’m commenting on this wonderful site on my blackberry right now!

  6. mmoroca says:

    Radar is the 2.0 community experience that your online mobile pictures always needed…

  7. Natasha Vander Velde says:

    I VOTE FOR RADAR! It is the only application on my iPhone that I use the most. It is fun, exciting, changing, and something is always new to look@. What I am talking about are tiny pictures. I love taking pictures with my iphone, post it to the radar appliction, then wait for a comment from my friends. I get a sense of hospitality from the radar team when I have a question or need help with the application someone responds quickly and accurately. My vote says radar handsdown is the BEST application around. Please cast my vote for RADAR!

  8. Rosh says:

    Radar is were it’s at!!!! Great people, always a blast! Have nothing negative to say at all, radar gives people a place to connect through images and video on such a personal level that it would be impossible to deny them this reward! Try it once and you’ll be a radar head for life.

  9. Marc says:

    Radar Rocks !! By far this is my favorite social app. It is a very commdating and inviting community. I’ve made cool friend across the country and even across da pond. It’s hard to say that their staff is “staff” but just like more friends. By the responses I’ve quickly gotten back to minor issues, they are very involved and seems they have just as much of a blast as we do on Radar. Radar gets my vote hands down !!! Keep Posting !!

  10. Thatruth24 says:

    Since the moment I downloaded the application for radar I’ve been hooked like a fish. Very user friendly. Great community of users. Very easy to build friendships. By far my favorite application on my iPhone. No question. If u don’t yet have this application or have yet to visit the site I highly recommend it to everyone.

  11. Thatruth24 says:

    Ever since joining last summer, Radar has grown greatly, for the better. Radar let’s it’s members stay updated with friend’s posts from around the world. Not only is the program itself great, but the people are amazing. You truely feel like a family with the people you meets and share with. Not to mention the staff who busily work keeping the site safe and fun and always improving it! They also communicate closely with the people, so everyone feels like they’re in he community.
    Radar is definitely something I’ll be sticking to forever.

    My name is Megan, known as creeper06, and I vote Radar

  18. LagunaSecaM3 says:

    I stumbled across Radar while browsing my iPhone apps, my aim being to be able to share pictures with my friends (at that time the iPhone did not support picture messaging). With the addition of Radar to my phone, I received so much more that a picture sharing app…I now have an online community of new friends who have given me loads of laughs, support, and even caring words during tough times in my life.
    Radar is my favorite app by far, and it only improves as time progresses.

  19. HLmanager says:

    I love Radar. I use this app. ten times as much as myspace or facebook. The picture sharing is fantastic and my new “friends” are great. I vote of Radar.

  20. junbg509 says:

  21. junbg509 says:

    I VOTE RADAR!!!! Best application i have downloaded on my iphone!!! If they dont get an award you got ours’ “Number ONE”

  22. Thedreaming says:

    I used to use fuzzyshot but there was never any interaction there. You posted your pictures and they sat there collecting dust. I joined radar and immediately got responses to pictures I post and even to pictures I responded to! There is a real live community at Radar and it’s my favorite app on the iPhone!

  23. Tobywolf says:

    Radar Is an all around amazing site, very easy to use and lots of awesome people to go along with it! From the first week I started I was welcomed with a wonderful energy from the staff and they where so helpful and made me feel welcome right away. I LOVE RADAR! they totally deserve to win the award. I VOTE RADAR!

  25. SUPERCHUD says:

    RADAR is so addictive! I haven’t been on facebook or myspace, since I’ve installed the app on my iphone, AKA “RADARPHONE”! i’ve made so many nice friends from around the world, and have seen so many beautiful places through their eyes! I’ve learned so much from the many talented people on here, including THE RADAR TEAM!! They are very hands on and friendly!! I truly look forward to logging into RADAR to talk to my friends and SEE what they are up to!! I highly recommend this site to all who enjoy sharing their pictures and experiences with others!! It is the most used app/site on my phone/pc!! RADAR ROCKS!!
