For anyone on the fence, version 2.3 ends the competition for the top Android L3 app, for now at least. Dual-pol, seamlessly-integrated SPC and METAR overlays, intuitive looping controls, street-level mapping... it's basically the equivalent of having GRLevel3 and a long list of placefiles in the palm of your hand, but without the need for the placefiles themselves.

I wasn't to keen on pykl, but this new update has sold me over. It's got all the bells and whistles as you said. It's great that is has Ontario roads and such within, would love to know if there is a way to add an Ontario county shapefile to it like how I have in my GRL2A and GRL3.

I have both Pykl3 and RadarScope, and before this update I thought RadarScope had a slight edge over Pykl3... not anymore. This latest update puts Pykl3 a step above RadarScope, at least from a chaser's perspective. Thank you for all of your excellent work!

Why yes, there is that ability. There are 4 classes of roads available to customize your experience. Standard .shp files which are RDA based.
