I was stuck on Intellicast for my android phone for several years. I even paid the subscription to get rid of the adds. It morphed into "Storm" but it still recognized my subscription and it still had the wind layer. That is the one that shows the animated arrows that move slow for low wind and fast for high wind. I could tell where the front was by the wind direction. It was a larger and slower program but it still ran on my old phone.
Now it has morphed into "Storm Radar" by the weather channel. It has lost my subscription. It has lost the wind arrows. It is a completely different program without the things I liked and it is 20mb bigger than the previous version....?ÿ so I dumped it.
I am now accepting recommendations on a weather app. Radar is a necessity and the wind arrows would be greatly appreciated.
What do you prefer?

I use the Weather Channel app for forecasts, and my favorite radar app is MyRadar. I use an iPhone 6S Plus.
National Weather Service.?ÿ I set a home screen shortcut for home location.
WTForcast is always good for a laugh plus weather information. (NSFW content)
Intellicast was the greatest and it went poof.
WeatherBug is what I settled with.
I relied upon the air chart that showed ground air and/or jet stream flow and apparently it is not on any app I know of.
UAV Forecast is very reliable. The extended (7day) forecsst costs a few bucks to unlock but its worth it.?ÿ

I started wondering if there was a lawsuit about the use of the wind flow in their app. Maybe somewhere during several acquisitions or mergers, someone thought they had permission and didn't.
I have Weather Elite by WeatherBug and it's amazing when using the app directly, but it costs $9.99 and the widgets are awful. So I use Today Weather purely for the widget on my home screen (Android).

I think I have messed with every setting in there but I may have missed one.
In the layers, it has Wind but it only colors the areas blue that has a lot of wind. No direction, no animated speed.
I will happily admit that I am wrong if you find the setting.

I have both Weather Channel and AccuWeather. Last Thursday night we were eating at a Mexican restaurant near Gastonia, NC when, if not the mother, then the aunt of all thunderstorms hit. Flash flood warnings were sounded by every smart phone in the restaurant; 4 at our table and Lord knows how many at the other tables.
I don't get out much, so that was the first time I had seen that happen. But we all did get the message.
I use Weather Underground for radar, but I look at the local NOAA Weather Station scientific forecast discussion if I want to know what the forecasters are really thinking. Theyll tell which weather models are in agreement and how much confidence they have in the forecast they are putting out. If I need it to be sunny and dry for a few days to cut hay and get it in the barn I want to know how sure they are about that 30% chance of rain day after tomorrow.?ÿ
For those interested in the history:?ÿ?ÿ or...?ÿ blame it on IBM:

I'm wrong I have just been skipping installing the new app and still use the old one.
I just use Accuweather's web site on my phone
I have not used it but?ÿ Windfinder (link will open the website centered at San Berdoo airport) looks promising--has IPad/IPhone and Android apps, plus website.?ÿ
Weatherbug! Most accurate I've found at spot weather forecasts.
We like the WeatherBug Spark app for showing lightning in the area.
