  • Too many alerts at the wrong times

    Yes, I realize it doesn’t rain very often in Southern California. It’s been raining. Why so many alerts? Every time the national weather service changes a few words on the area weather reports, I get an alert. The last straw was last night at 2:30 AM, when I was sound asleep, and when I have do not disturb for most of my apps. This thing made a loud noise that woke us both up. Just because they might’ve changed a word on the weather report. You need to tweak your app.

  • Very good app, with some minor complaints

    This is what I consider as the best app for its purpose, out of those that I am aware of. It presents a quality interface and breadth of information, with links to additional useful resources. It is very good at providing timely notifications on any monitored locations, which the user can define, and does so in an effective, concise format.

    The primary complaint I have is the collection of personally-identifiable information, which I consider completely unnecessary for the app’s stated purpose. I can understand the developer’s desire, and possible need, to collect anonymous, non-personally identifiable information, but no more than that.

    To the developer: please change your data collection practices, as suggested above.

  • Good app, but notifications far too repetitive

    I like the app, and it provides useful information while I am using it. What I don’t like, however, is receiving 15 notifications a day. Yes, I’m well aware we’re having a heatwave. One alert would have done, not (quite literally) 15. I’ve had to turn notifications off entirely because they became so frequent and intrusive. This makes the app less helpful, because now I won’t be able to receive the rare, useful notification.

  • Awesome!

    Just alerted me to an incoming tornado 10 seconds before the sirens went off, and well before any of my other apps caught up to the unexpected touchdown! The tornado shifted its path and we were okay. Super thankful for this app! Worked outstandingly!
  • Good, but needs to be able to pinpoint location

    The is a good app and I appreciate the timely warnings about severe weather and tornado watches and warnings. However, the inability to pinpoint the center of your warning area is frustrating. For example, I am about 30 miles from the center of the closest metro area. Now I get warnings from 60 miles away on the other side of town if I make my notification ring 30 miles wide. Hopefully they can fix that soon.

  • Great app for home & travel

    I strongly recommend using this app. We get alerts for all kinds of hazardous conditions, like wildfire or ice storms that allow us to prepare and evacuate if needed. When traveling, the app has alerted us to tornadoes and hailstorms so we could find shelter rather than drive into danger.
  • Amazing helpful alerts

    Where I live was hit by a devastating tornado last year and almost nobody in town received any weather alerts or if they did it was to late for them to take cover. There were many homes and lives lost that night. Since then we have all been searching for better apps to gives us alerts. I mean counting this one, I have 11 weather apps on my phone. That’s how traumatizing the events of last year were for myself and so many others. Out of all of my apps this is the ONLY ONE that sends me alerts consistently and early enough to prepare. If I do receive notifications from any of my other apps it is always well after I’ve already heard from this one. I have used our towns Facebook page to recommend this weather app to everyone so we can stay safe! ❤️

  • App Support Link is a web page advertising their other apps!

    The app changed from English to Spanish and there is no setting option to change it back and the link for App Support goes to a website that does nothing but list their other apps!

    If there is an emergency I don’t want to try and read the alert in a language I have a very small vocabulary in. Guess I should be glad they didn’t change it to one of the other predominant second languages in my state such as Russian, Chinese, or Vietnamese!

    I will be letting Apple know that the required App Support link is worthless as the developer is not providing any avenue to support.

  • Now only in Spanish apparently

    Seemed to work fine for several months, but ever since the latest upgrade two months ago it will now only open in Spanish. I have deleted it from my iPhone and downloaded and reinstalled a couple of times to no avail. Unfortunately, I do not read Spanish so the app does me no good.
  • Jesus Christ ALIVEEEE the notifications

    Okay, it’s a good weather app or whatever, it warns me of stuff I guess.

    The notifications, oh my god, I literally just deleted the app because it threw like a dozen notifications at me in seconds causing my phone to almost buzz its way off the stand. I’m sick of it, please for the love of god why? I don’t understand it’s just so many notifications with the exact same message, idk if I did something wrong but I don’t even care anymore, I’m only making this one star so maybe someone can see it and be warned, but I’m just done!!!! It’s just so many notifications and it’s been happening so much good golly ;w;
