I believe it just gets rid of ads. You have to pay for a subscription to get the other premium features. More on reddit.com

I'm a Customer Service rep for MyRadar, not an independent user, but I'd be happy to answer some of your questions as best I can. The Premium Features subscription is pretty handy, but it depends on how often you use the app and whether or not you'd use the various features unlocked with the subscription. Here's all that comes with the subscription currently: Ad-removal, which removes in-app ad banners and squares The Hurricanes layer, which includes the NHC's cones of probability, found here , and wind speed forecasts) CONUS-wide Road Weather toggle (by default the layer is limited to a range around your current location) Per-Station Radar type, which lets you select individual ground radar stations for a more granular look at local data Historical Radar type, which lets you see radar data from the past, starting from yesterday and spanning as far as 1993 (for CONUS and Puerto Rico) The new RouteCast feature that lets you enter a start and stop point for a trip and get a forecast of the road conditions for the ride Subscribers are also locked into the price they're currently paying so long as they stay consistently subscribed. So as new features get added to the subscription, if you subscribe at $14.99/year and the subscription raises in price down the line, you can keep that initial $14.99/year price so long as your subscription doesn't lapse. Now, is it worth it? I think so, but hopefully we can hear from some other users that have subscribed to get their thoughts on it! More on reddit.com
