fwiw, on iOS, I like using WeatherGraph: https://weathergraph.app/

The developer is very responsive, lots of UI customization in the app and widgets are possible, and pricing is reasonable too.

They used to be very responsive. “Multiple locations are on the way” (bottom left corner) has been like that for years now.

Still the best of all the weather apps though.

Hi, I know it took much longer than it should have, but I have multiple locations implemented now and am adding the final polish before release - here are few screenshots: https://imgur.com/a/2vMAJHB

I should be able to release it before the end of January.

Best, Tomas

I just downloaded it to try it out after seeing it in a few comments. While some of the visualizations seem like ones I could get used to and like, the radar is severely lacking. I use radar a lot and DarkSky’s view was amazing and just fun to play with. Weather Graph has it buried at the bottom and just loads up weather.gov. It’s hard to justify paying a premium with radar feeling pretty ignored. His website mentions radar won’t be coming in the near term. I think that’s a deal breaker for me.

If you use radar a lot, have you tried RadarScope? Nothing else even comes close to comparing.

Checkout Ventusky and Windy.com

Both give you a huge amount of layers and datasets to mess around with. Windy recently changed their radar stuff, though, so it might be a bit confusing.

If you are serious about weather radar, consider RadarScope. It is professional grade weather visualization of all products.
