What's New in AlerWX

6.4.5

July 12, 2026

• Improved performance on the interactive radar • Change Location Icon on radar to new crosshair design with heading arrow • Added new Lighting Alerts push notifications • Added new Polygon Animation to new and updated alerts on radar • Added new WFO filter for Alert Popup Banners in radar • Added new Privacy Zone for Custom Locations. You can use this to pause your spotter location sharing within 5 miles of a custom map location. • Added product filtering back into app with new Action Blocking function • Storm Track Popups now appear whenever you tap on the track cell. It will no longer bring up a full page unless you click the information icon. • Map Layers are temporarily hidden when selecting a new radar station • All new LSR Icons have been added • Alert Popup Banners no longer show for product expiration • Fixed parsing issues with Special Marine Warnings and Flash Flood Warnings on Radar • Fixed issue of app not reporting spotter network location on launch for users who have Always or App Open for location reporting. • Fixed issue of Radar Data shifting and cutting off when user has Larger Text enabled • Removed Notification Location Filters. This was experimental but had little to no success, so it have been removed from the app until something better can be implemented.

NOAA Weather Radio on App Store is FOUR DOLLARS! This has the weather radio in your area! It has a weather map! Click on your local station and get the rain forecast and it will alert you when there is a warning or watch! And really, iPads don’t have Wireless Emergency Alerts (WEA) and this brings it to your iPad by tracking your location and finding warning and sending an alert! I’m TELLING YOU! GET THIS APP NOW!

Hello, please send us an email using the feedback submission in-app so we can better help you. If you can please clarify what you mean by "it works half the time" and also what you mean by putting the names of the NWS sites. All of the National Weather Service offices are listed on the app. But please use the in-app feedback submission so we can get some more information on the issues that you are having! Thanks for being a user!

One of THE weather apps of all time.

Given the fact AlerWX sends you notifications almost INSTANTLY, this might be an alternative to IEMBot, and I’m gonna use it to keep track of warnings in my area.
Very easy & simple to set up, AND it shows you the SPC outlooks AND it has an interactive radar?
This might be better than MyRadar!

Response from developer

We actually get all the WFO Feed data from Iowa Environmental Mesonet! With using that we get instant products as the NWS sends them out! We love the feedback and thank you for being an AlerWX User!
