Routinely Wrong

Quite often it will not show correct predictions like the other apps. Today it is showing 0 precipitation while it’s raining! That’s the normal.

Widgets

Decent radar app, but definitely needs newer more colorful, updated widgets similar to apples weather widgets!

Why do you have to pay for lighting strikes?

It should be included along with storm track

Good app but unable to be used offline

I like this app but when you’re offline it takes forever to load do not recommend

Paid subscription for alerts

For an app that describes itself as a “severe weather alerts” app, if you want lighting alerts, it’s a paid subscription

The perfect storm app

This app helped me through strong storms by telling me when they will start and end it also gives me alerts thanks storm shield

I purchased this before

I purchased this a few years ago. Now I am being urged to buy a subscription to an app I purchased outright! I am very upset about this. When I purchased it, it was not subscription based. In fact to use it you had to actually buy it. Now because they have decided it’s subscription based I am locked out of function I used to have access to. I really enjoyed this but think I may have to find one that doesn’t just change the rules mid game just because it got popular.

No radar

After latest update the app will not show radar or weather layers. Tried deleting and restoring subscription and it will not restore.

Radar stopped working

The precipitation radar just stopped working, and opening layers doesn’t let me turn precipitation on/off either. So basically the ONE thing the free version did doesn’t even work anymore.

Used to love this app

This used to be my go to weather app. Not anymore, it will say there is an alert, but if you click for more info, nothing.

Radar working, flip a coin on whether it’s actually working. Want to adjust the layers, once again, good luck if you even get to see anything regarding what layers you can use. They haven’t updated the app in so long, I’m thinking that they are just milking this for what subscription fees they have left and doing nothing to maintain it.

Accurate and Effective Weather App

I’ve been a subscriber of this app for several years and keep being more impressed over the years. I was in Canada visiting my BFF and was able to track the weather while I was there. This is in another country and still, of course, captures the accuracy of the weather of where I live in the USA - very impressive!

Terrible

The app never lets you know when severe weather events are coming or other severe weather events will happen.

Not as good

This app used to be really good, but I’m getting alerts and when I click nothing is there.
It’s also not updating while I’m traveling, even though I refresh.

Used to be better

I have used Storm Shield for many, many years. Lately its quality has gone downhill. I get other notices about severe weather in my saved areas, but when I open up my saved locations on StormShield, it is not showing the NWS alerts, even though my saved setting is well within the "polygon" that Storm Shield is supposed to be covering for me. Today, I tried to send a Support request, but it wouldn't let me finish. I hit the submit button multiple times, and it just said, "send more information to be more helpful." I had filled out every field correctly. I triple checked. This has been going on for several weeks. I am disappointed because I have recommended this app to many, many people.

Good notifications

I can’t believe Storm Shield has text to speech when a notification pops up. I’m really loving it. Thank you.

Go to!

This is the weather answer; I have all our children’s towns in there. I open up this app and know what it happening all over! The best!
