Leave a Review StormWatch+
Great App for VERY accurate info
Reading through some of the one to three star reviews it seems everyone’s complaint is having to pay for this app. The quality of the app is very good, the weather radar wherever you are is awesome (and has saved me multiple times), and I’m okay paying for that quality. If you want something free, this won’t be as amazing as what those paying for it get so align your expectations before downloading.
NashSevereWeather directed me here after our last tornado and I’m glad they did.Show lessza427

First you can’t change the map, all hybrid. Second on a iPhone trying to read the options of layers is awful it is all bunched up, terrible. You brag about alerts but to pay for them, plenty of other free apps that that is not a cost. Sorry but deleting.
Update: Wow takes 2 weeks to get a response. I am using an iPhone 8 that all updates are current. The part that is very hard to read is where you click for the radar or it shows a somewhat of a description of what the day maybe through the day. So that is the issue but again with no “future radar” and no standard maps or even light or dark menu I will again delete the app.Show lessBass_Fishing1

Hello there, we are working to include additional basemaps in a future build, as that feature is on our roadmap. Also, I am interested in what version of iPhone you are using where the layer selection is difficult to read. Finally, we will put our fully-customizable alert capabilities up against any other on the market. Those that are free are either selling your location data or preferences to other companies or including ads. We do neither, and thus there is a charge to provide a service that is unique, while also protecting your privacy. Feel free to reach out at support@stormwatchplus.com and you'll find that our customer service is better than the free apps as well. :-) Thanks for trying us out!In theory, great...but unreliable
When this works, it is awesome! The alerts are good.
That said, more often than not the weather info won’t load. I paid too much for this to be unreliable, especially since it is supposed to keep me safe.elijahbvzw

Hello Elijah, we have built the app to use the forecasts and current conditions provided by the National Weather Service, the official source of forecasts for the nation. Unfortunately, their data feeds leave something to be desired. We are actively working on a way around that and, in fact, will have a fix in place in the next update due out this week. We encourage you to try it out when it is released and re-visit your review. We can also be reached via "Contact Us" in the app. Expect a prompt reply!No ability to exit overlay choices on latest generation of iPads
It’s an ok app but needs some RAID to iron out the bug of the inability to exit overlay menu. I changed the choice of radar to SPC day one and I was unable to change the zoom level on the radar nor was I able to swipe down to get rid of overlay menu. It may be user induced, dunno as there wasn’t any directions on how to return back to the radar.
Also, not sure if a bug or it was intended, when I changed the overlay to SPC day one, it covered up the radar. I didn’t see a transparency option so I could see the radar echos within the day one map. I couldn’t access the radar to zoom out to see if it was me or a bug encountered in first paragraph.
As far as alerts, I get free alerts from Red Cross as well as a couple of free apps such as MyRadar app., I don’t see any reason to pay 12 bucks a month on something that is timely and free, and it should be free here.Show lessAllen Lieberman

Hello Allen, You are able to exit the overlay menu simply by tapping anywhere outside the menu on the main screen. We are also going to work to address the issue of the SPC layers obscuring the radar. As for free alerts, Red Cross is good. Most apps that are free for this service are either selling your data on the back end or requiring you view ads. We do neither and have monthly expenses to keep the alerts flowing. Our charge is $1/ mo, not $12, or you may purchase one year at a 25% discount. We'd be glad to address any other concerns via the "Contact Us" link in the app. Bottom line: you'll see we offer more customizable features in the alerting than any other app out there, we protect your privacy and have NO ads, and in our opinion the cost is a bargain given the service we provide. Thanks for giving us a try!Stopped loading my local info
A few days ago it quit loading info for my location/address. Icon just spins. My settings are on and the same as previously when it worked.bdodd02

I used to live in Memphis where I initially came across this app many years ago. Two years ago I moved to Myrtle Beach and thankfully this app works anywhere in the USA. All you have to do is set your location.
There are no tornado warning sirens in the Carolinas, thus, this app is especially more important than ever.
Today, we had a tornado come through parts of Georgetown and Horry Counties. The closest observed damage was only two miles away. This app gave me ample warning to take action if necessary.
I highly recommend this app. It is a potential life saver and worth the cost.Show lessmemphis_tom

Crashes
I heard great reviews about this app after the tornadoes ripped through Tennessee. So I downloaded it hoping it would be better than the weather channel app. And it looks great, but every time I try to go to the radar it crashes.Weeble 1973
Developer Response
Hello, we apologize for those crashes! We pushed an app update a couple days later that fixed that issue. In addition, we increased our quota with our radar vendor as the Nashville storms caused us to exceed the previous limit for the first time ever! If you would, please give the app a second chance and update your review if you deem it worthy! Any issues can always be reported via the Contact Support link in the app. We follow up quickly to all requests! Thanks!Enjoying the 4.0 update
Love being able to check the day’s hourly forecast so quickly.Milanracer190
Developer Response
Thank you for your review! We're glad you love the hourly forecast! Even more great features are rolling out soon!Waste of money
Constantly freezes and crashes. The only part of the app I can actually use is the radar.BigGulp26
