Here’s a case where a webapp may outperform App Store apps, both paid and free. If you’re frustrated by poorly designed animated weather radar in iPhone apps, try pointing the iPhone’s browser to iWeathr.com.

iWeathr features 4 different kinds of animated radar to choose from, including reflectivity short range, reflectivity long range, rainfall, and velocity short range. The site gets its data from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), which is where most of the App Store weather apps get their data from as well. iWeather even features special radar maps for Aviation.

You can bookmark the site to your home screen, and it will have its own icon that makes it look just like an App Store app. The greatest thing about it is that it launches faster than any native app!
