What's your favorite "weather app" for your phone?

I have three weather apps on my phone: Wunderground, NOAARadarPro, and Storm Radar.
Wunderground is my go-to app for weather forecasts and radar in the immediate vicinity of wherever I am at a given time. I would have to say, though, that Weather Radar is head and shoulders above anything else I've run across yet insofar as accurate radar is concerned. I rarely use the NOAARadarPro app. The radar moves too slowly for my taste but my wife seems to prefer it to the others.
Anyone have anything different that you like?

Someone here recently recommended Dark Sky and I have enjoyed it so far.

Dark Sky has been pretty damn accurate.
Predict Wind for wind forecasts.

My primary concern in this area is tornadoes. For that, Storm Shield works very well.
I can usually pick out the difference between a blind warning and an actual hook echo very easily.

I got one of those weather sticks at a gift shop and it has never let me down.

RadarScope
It cost $10, but the storm chasers I've met say it's the best app on the market.
ETA: that's only for radar. For forecasts/current conditionsI use NOAA Pro.

Thanks, I'll check it out. I use those apps for fishing so I need accurate reports.

When meteorologists use it, you know it is good.

I like My Radar because it shows fronts and wind. You can watch a front progress with that app, and it is pretty accurate. The radar isn't quite as good as it used to be, though. An update made it harder to pick actual locations.

Dark Sky is very good. Unfortunately Apple bought it and it's being ended for Android on August 1.

I don't think there's an app with low level radar if you are in south-central Louisiana. There's a huge gap in coverage between Baton Rouge and Lafayette.
