Just out of curiosity, what makes it better?

It's pure unmodified Level III NextRad radar data from NOAA (and FAA TDWR) radars with super fast direct connections to the government feeds. For example, when the TDWR radars go into storm mode and scan a volume of the atmosphere every minute, you get that data right away. Basically, if you are under a pixel that is showing precipitation, it's precipitating. No false smoothing of radar returns or anything like that. For the more hard core: it had excellent tools to assess things like wind shear, hail signatures, precipitation types, and really accurate storm total products. You can also check all of this up through multiple layers of the atmosphere. You also get geo-located watch and warning data and feeds to 3rd party data feeds from professional storm spotters and research submissions like the Natiinal Severe Storm Labs mPING program where you can crowdsource observations to help NWS numerical weather prediction algorithms. They also have add-on subscription services for things like lightening data, longer radar loops and historical data. On top of all of this is the simplest, easy to use intuitive interface. And, no, I am not a Base Velocity sales person. It's just really that good. The best app purchase I've made since smartphones became a thing.
