I get the flyover part on storm reports, but I simply don’t see radar overlay button to even see radar per app instructions.
Just storm reports (2 at the time of this post in Texas) and no ability to put radar on any of the maps normal, hybrid, satellite or flyover. I am able to tap the storm report and it invokes flyover view.
Am I to see radar in 3D? Description isn’t clear and I didn’t want to buy full version if free version doesn’t work.

Response from developer
Thanks for your feedback. We had updated the app and it will allow you to review history storm information. For the 3D view, you will need to zoom into an area (mostly a city) under fly over. Please send me an email at support@creativemobileapps.onmicrosoft.com if you have any question.
