For the iphone, go with RadarScope....the best hands down. I can change the radar type, location, etc. I can even see the velocity of the cell (chasing Tornados). It's 10 bucks, but well worth it.

Another is WX Alert USA that takes info from NOAA.

Gotta give a shout out to the MyWeather app. Overlays clean radar (no clutter) onto virtual earth so you can zoom down to lake level. Best of all, it's free and created by a Wisconsin based company. They also have the Pinpoint Lightning app which will alert you whenever there is a strike within X number of miles from you.

For android I like weather bug elite you can also get the weather bug locator for free to go with the app and it'll follow you. It has a nice radar widget that will go right on one of you phones screens and will refresh every hour or when ever you tap it. It works well for me!

I picked up a local tv station weather app. Pretty cool and works well. I am sure other areas have stations with similar apps.

For Android I also use weather bug, I just use the free version and I like it a lot. Lovw the map and being able to zoom in on your location.
