My go-to for this is an app called Radar Scope [0], which is the best $10 I've ever spent on an app. Its very easy to pull it up and look at the radar products with a useful color scale (as opposed to others which make light showers look like the apocalypse). Based on the quality I assume its target market is for stormchasers and weather professionals.

Its fast and has most of the radar products, including velocities. I originally bought it to answer the question "Should I shelter from this tornado?"

The downside is that there is no forecasting, but thats freely available through the NWS [1].

With NOOA/weather.gov you can even link directly to an animated gif for radar, such as this one for Minneapolis: https://radar.weather.gov/ridge/lite/N0R/MPX_loop.gif
