What's an app with better radar than the weather channel?

I like the weatherbug app. good radar and also the spark lightning feature is GREAT to tell if those storms have lightning in them and how far away it is!! I use it all the time.

By far the best weather radar app I've used is Radar Scope. I know some storm chasers that use this app exclusively.

The spark lightning proximity indicator is invaluable. Wouldn't fish anywhere near bad weather without it.

Weather Underground is pretty good... My buddy seems to think it is linked to Bill Ayers and the weathermen.

I use Accuweather. I have never been left out in bad weather plus it has alerts.

Weather Bug hands down!! As mentioned above their radar along with Sparks(closest lightning strike past 30 minutes)
and their "Seek Shelter Now" red symbol has saved my backside more than once. Best of all its Free!!

I've used the KLTV weather app for awhile. It updates about every minute or two plus you can set it up to show warnings, lightning ect. You can also expand it and zoom it and move around to anywhere. So if your fishing in say Alabama you can zoom the radar into that location.

The best mobile radar program is called PYKL3. Its uses the radar feeds from the NWS and enhances it with warning boxes and alerts. Not sure if they have a trial version that you can try out but you can check at http://www.pykl3radar.com/. I have been using it for several years and have no complaints. PYKL3 Radar

If you want a good weather app for home check out GrlevelX
