What's New in MD Weather Alerts

1.6

August 12, 2026

New games, fresh Home Screen widgets, and a sharper map. TWO NEW GAMES • Predict the High — guess tomorrow's high for a featured Maryland city, right on Home, and earn points for getting close. Build a daily streak. • Weekly Photo Contest — enter one weather photo a week, vote for your favorite, and a winner is crowned every week. WIDGETS • A new Community Feed widget puts the latest Maryland reports on your Home Screen. • MD Weather Alerts + adds four dedicated widget themes — Midnight, Slate, Ember, and Forest. Free widgets keep matching your app theme. A SHARPER MAP • New Quick Modes — open the map around what you're doing (Drive, Storm, Water, Sky & Air, Explore) and the right layers set themselves up. All the individual toggles are still there to fine-tune. STORM COMPANION • During an active Warning, the Live Activity and Dynamic Island now show a live countdown to expiry and a line of the National Weather Service's own safety guidance. Every National Weather Service watch and warning stays free for everyone, always. Plus adds personalization and convenience; it never gates a safety alert. Stay safe out there, and keep the reports coming.

Hyper Local is good

Sometime in the last 20 years weather went from being something you got from local experts to a generic forecast from faceless apps. This app has all the bells and whistles of the big apps and then more, plus the point of view of the area you actually live. I highly recommend.

Response from developer

Thank you so much for the kind words!

Local accurate weather

I have been using the basic weather app that comes with iPhone for over a decade. It has never failed to disappoint me. It will be raining for 15 minutes and I look at the app and it doesn’t even suggest a chance of precipitation, let alone update when it is CURRENTLY RAINING. This app is more accurate locally and even has incentive for you to have your own input and report on current weather conditions as they unfold. Give this app a chance and you will never go back to the horrible weather apps of the past. Also very customizable with notifications and in-app settings and preferences. Very well thought out.

Weather made fun

I have been enjoying this app. The weather has been accurate. I have been enjoying collecting weatherlings. The added social component is perfect for weather nerds.

Great app

This is really comprehensive- all the weather you expect plus customizable map views of radar and weather reports, ability to report weather, and fun stuff like points and cute weather critters. Love that it’s MD only and MD themed.
