Finally broke down and got an iPhone. Tell you what, Steve Jobs knew how to build a product. It is sooo much more user friendly than the Droid I had. Anyway, looking for a weather app. I know there are gobs of them, but have any of you found one that you really like? Being a pilot I would like to see fairly current radar images.

For iphone, I use MyRadar for determining whether to cancel baseball games or wait out the rain & try to finish the game. They have a free version and a pro version.
I use The Weather Channel for basic forecasts. Also free.

btw, RIP Steve Jobs.
I dont like Apple's technofacist strategy, but I totally admired & respected Steve Jobs for his talents and contributions.

Weather mapper lite can get you metars for all the airports, but radar ones i found were always charging.
NOAA hi-def radar $1.99
My Weather Radar--- not bad and free
US Nexrad radar---$.99 I think the same wx as the G1000 uses but not sure.

Many many thanks for the input. It is so much easier to ask a question here than on other sites. And, of course, it's free here for the asking !
