    Favorite Weather Apps

    I'm looking for your favorite weather apps.
    Goal is to find a really good Radar Storm Tracker showing track, speed & time to users location.
    Also interested in tidal & surf apps that would help in planning yakking trips.

    Die if you must, but die on your home turf with your face to the wind, not in some stinking hellhole 2,000 kilometers away, among people you neither know nor care about.

    I use Scoutlook for hunting and freshwater fishing. I'm not sure about the features you mentioned since I have the "free" version.

    I like Radar Now for a more reliable radar, but there is now tracking for it. I also like MarineWeather(I have the free version but they have the Pro version which is better). You can pull up everything, radar, tides, buoys, wave action, weather reports. Perfect for the fisherman in mind.
