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.

Absolutely the BEST NWS app EVER

It has all of the websites, tools, and resources you need for weather monitoring and warnings in just one app! I get warnings and updates WAY faster than IEMbot (longest: AlerWX 17 seconds later IEMbot, shortest: AlerWX 2 seconds later, IEMbot), and it even has NOAA weather radio built in with alternate radio broadcasts. As an SN user, submitting a report to the NWS is SO much easier than SN’s website! I also really like the general design and color theme customization that AlerWX has. Basically the BEST NWS app of all time

Love this app!

This is a great weather app! It has everything I've wanted in a weather app. As a blind individual, the lightning alerts are great for me to have a good idea of where thunderstorms are. Thank you for developing this great app.

Honestly the best way to receive weather alerts!

I’ve been looking for a weather app that sends a notiflication with Critical Alerts and this app is absolutely PERFECT for it, and it’s FREE! It’s super customizable to choose which alerts give you the Critical Alerts and it’s beautiful. The radar is AMAZING.. with NEXRAD Level 2??? AND it has NOAA Weather Radio stations?????? Honestly, #1 weather app I’ve EVER used. Keep up the beautiful work! 🥹❤️‍🩹🫶
