Any real advantages to this over the far more feature-filled free version of The Weather Channel app? I mean, 99 cents isn't much, but I don't immediately see any real advantage to these maps over the ones from TWC except perhaps gaining 60px of ad space.

I have both this app and The Weather Channel app. I find both of them do a great job. I like this particular one because it is radar only and I don't have to do multiple taps to get to the radar. I also find the pinching/pulling to zoom in/out a bit easier in this app than in The Weather Channel one.

Thanks Clinton. I find that I use the TWC app almost exclusively for the maps and the startup delay and extra clicks are a bit annoying, so perhaps this would be worth XCIX pennies...
