Clunky
I've had this app for quite a while. Some of the information is very helpful; however, the app has always been clunky to use with views of the map too obstructed by buttons. There are much better apps for weather radar and weather radio. This app runs slow and the developers have not updated it for several iOS versions.

Very useful; some quirks but worth it
I like it during tornado storms. It lets me map sightings near me exactly with the map range I care about.

For every tornado outbreak this year in the US, there have been corresponding reports in TornadoSpy. You can verify this by using the history feature in the app. There is also NOT a subscription fee, and the app currently has a large enough user base such that it has provided alerts up to 30 minutes before the standard NOAA sightings are issued. Also, the Missouri tornado mentioned in the comments was published (picture and all) well before the NOAA sighting.
