Nothing Works

NHC keeps saying oops something went wrong since I wasted $5 on this app. Also all the state stations just keep spinning saying “connecting”

Worth downloading.

I own the iPhone and iPad version of this app and also have a midland WR120, and a midland ER210 and I plan on purchasing a WR400 sometime in the future. I’m very appreciative of this app, it’s very important to have a weather radio where I live.

Excellent App

Love to have this app on my iPad. I cannot tell you how confident I feel about the information that I’m getting from this app whenever I turn it on. Yes, I need some improvements and not so much static on the line. I can’t complain, it works when I need it. Please support this app, it grows on you.

Great app of NOAA weather radio

This is very useful. It is way way better than standard air radio with no static noise.

Don’t work!

It don’t work it don’t work the stations in my area are all off line. So it don’t work. I ask for my money back and that don’t work. So they just take your money and smile.

Radio stations

I have been using this app off and on over the past few years. I started using it more this fall to help plan my fishing trips. I live in northern Michigan and the weather on the lakes up here changes from day to day. I have noticed that a few of the weather radio stations I have selected do not provide audio. The now data is there but no sound, just continues to indicate connecting but never connects. I’m using this app on an iPad Pro with plenty of memory and storage. Thank you

Works OK...could be better

Purchased this app to supplement my battery-based radios. The app does not have as many local stations available as the radios, and it’s important for me to have access to stations to the west to be prepared for most oncoming weather. Also, the radio often cuts out shortly after I open the app.

The One WX Radio App You You Have to Have

I already own the iPhone version of the app and gave it five stars. I liked it so much in fact that I also purchased the iPad version. You don’t really need two different versions, one for iPad and one for iPhone. The iPhone version works fine on both.

However, I wanted to be sure to try both out before I included them on my list of recommended weather apps when I teach the weather portion of our county’s Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) course.

The app offers many different feeds in addition to NOAA Weather Radio including NOAA’s coastal and marine broadcasts to name a couple. Detailed alerts and hi-res radar can be added for a small additional charge for each. You can customize your alerts and notifications to suit your needs as well as add multiple locations for those who need to keep an ear out for that vacation property or boat at another location.

Please note, the radio feed is streamed directly from a receiver tuned to the local WX service frequency. You’re listening to an actual radio so you’ll hear occasional static and some feeds are better than others in terms of audio quality. I checked and didn’t find any that I felt were unusable. Also, you won’t hear anything those times if either the NWS transmitter or the audio feed are down for maintenance.

All-in-all an excellent app that does what it claims to. I highly recommend.

NOAA weather streaming

Disappointing. The stations that work here I can get for free. The ones that I can’t get free and are on here don’t work. You know they don’t work and never will. A come on for $5.00.
People you can get the same thing for free online. Just look.

I can not hear the NOAA radio

I can not hear the NOAA radio on the app!

Not very happy with the app 😠😡

Good

Yay

An important app

Living in Florida during hurricane season can be a challenge. Some years leaving the weather radio on can drive you nuts. Every few hours, day and night, the radio is bound to squawk and rather than be comforting can be a real nuisance. However, turning the radio off completely could be dangerous. So I was glad I found this app. I can listen to the radio or listen through my earphones, or play it for all.

I had trouble orienting myself in the beginning. To set it up, you are supposed to just identify your community, but it doesn’t work that way. NOAA has a number of stations located in our state, but each community does not have one. It would probably help if the developers would peg each community with the closest station. But they don’t, so I finally figured out to tune to the same stations as I tune my NOAA radio and the connection was perfect.

I think this app can be one of my “most needed” apps as time goes on.

Necessary App

Well done. Needed for our changeable weather in the Plains. Also, we travel a lot so it’s nice to know what’s ahead. Thanks a lot for the updates.

Thanks for the quality product.

Send button grayed out

I am writing this review to ask the developers for assistance. I cannot send an email from the app. Pasting a copy of my attempt to contact the company.

How do we receive alert sounds, banners and badges? They are all turned on in settings/notifications. I have purchased the text/alert upgrade for both iPad and my iPhone. I also used our second email address on the iPhone to eliminate one possible problem.

Thank you,
George

Could be better

Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't
Some of the important radio stations are available or don't work

Many stations don’t work

I live in Indiana in there’s three locations that I depend on and I cannot get any of them to work. this app Hasn’t worked right for years

No radio

Opened the app 10 minutes a go and still waiting for the radio to”connect”. Not off to a good start 😕

Radio portion no longer works

The “radio” portion of this app quit working about a year ago. That pretty much makes it worthless. It is named “NOAA Weather Radio” after all.

Great NOAA Radio App

This is my GOTO NOAA radio app.
I live in Southern California where the weather is always perfect and I really don’t NEED a weather app, but I frequently travel and use it then.

App broken-Come on Chris!

Chris, Please fix your app. I have paid for enhanced maps only to find that almost all the map layers I paid for don't work. No radar. No temps. No snow fall totals. No wind. Nothing!!! I have privately written you. No response. I have commented here in the review section. No response although Apple now provides you with the ability to respond. If you have abandoned this app, you have the ethical responsibility to remove it from the app store and reimburse customers who paid for functionality they never received. I am a developer myself and this is unacceptable. The only remaining option is contacting Apple. I am really trying to cut you a break and not do that, but...
