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!

Do Not Download - Money Hungry Developers

I have been a loyal customer since the app launched. It was my favorite and the best for future radar watches. It helped with Tornado tracking in my area and having the ability to warn my local family. This App has increased its fees from yearly to monthly to weekly at ridiculous levels, especially in a time where everything else is ridiculously expensive… $30 a year, $12 a month, $1.99 a week adds up quick

I have deleted the app and moved on

You think they would Grandfather the loyal customers in that helped make what the app good like it once was with the small team of determined developers that focused on the customer satisfaction and amazing weather information it provided. Instead, the new owners are more interested in ‘pleasing and lining the stock holders pockets’ first and bending everyone over a log while stroking a dry corn cob right up where the sun don’t shine

This app is a blundering joke and I hope all others follow along to the point it has to shut down.

Location changed

I did not change my location but the app now sends weather for Lamont, FL instead of Lamar, TX. Useless. I can’t find a way to fix it.

Used to work…

I’ve used this app for years but in the last year it’s not reliable. Sometimes a local alert will pop up on my phone, sometimes not, but when I go to check the alert it’s not there (even though it’s active). I have better luck with a local weather station app that’s hundreds of miles away. I’m not sure what glitch is happening, but for a paid app - I expect more. Please address this! I don’t want to cancel - but did because it just doesn’t work. The alerts are critical for severe or inclement weather!!! Get it together!
