Rarely do I offer my opinions on weather software publicly, but I have to give it to the team at @aguacerowx for building what has become basically a modern day version of AWIPS. Being able to **quickly and easily** compare multiple model datasets over time and in cross sections allows me at least to not get lost in the fog of model data overload while looking at exactly what I want to look at and nothing more, all on one screen..
In all, I use a total of 2 weather apps. Aguacero and Radarscope (bc it's still the OG of mobile radar applications).
So if you're lost in a sea of dozens of weather apps, I would say give this a try and give it a month to get familiarized with the interface and the 50 million customization options.

Max, respectfully, given your track record for sharing egregiously click-baity content and thumbnails (with your massive audience), you aren't really in a position to speak on what's good for meteorology.
This has been a controversial topic that I probably started, but I think the conversation needs to be had.
1.5 million people under false alarm tornado warnings with no evident rotation will make it so that next time these same people are under a tornado warning, they will probably take it less seriously. That's not a good thing for meteorology.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
An EF-0 tornado was confirmed in warned areas of Baltimore City and Dundalk during active Tornado Warnings until 4:45 PM EDT, not after cancellation. partnerservices.nws.noaa.gov/products/cache… ialert.com/alert.php?aler…

Regardless of warning performance, openly discrediting the weather service has the same effect on the public as warning fatigue. These (needed) discussions should be held internally, not in the public where thousands of people are reading that "the NWS is not worth listening to".
