Why is this still here?

This app used to be very handy. Now it takes my money and says I haven’t subscribed, so can’t get alerts. 🀬

Used to be great

…bc it’s one of the few that a) overrides donor disturb WHILE ALSO b) customizing which alerts I get. I, for one, only want tornado WARNINGS, nothing else.

But I guess they don’t care about their app any more, hence the ratings dip. Shame. I renewed my subscription but while, yes, they took my money, the app still thinks I’m not paying and won’t send me alerts. I’ve deleted the app and reinstalled. Nothing.

Useless. Remove it from the App Store if you’re MIA, devs.

It’s okay to move on…

Can’t get past the welcome screen

I I get the welcome screen but nothing after that. I see things in back ground, around the edges of the welcome screen loading. But I can’t get to them. And I can’t get rid of the welcome screen. It says to wait for it to move on to the next screen but after 30 minutes of waiting it never moves on.

Alerts Do Not Work

I’ve been paying for this app for a very long time, however alerts do not come through despite having settings correct. Waste of money and a total disappointment.

Alerts do not work

A week with multiple days of severe weather; thunderstorms, high winds, tornados and flooding. Not one alert was sent. No longer a trust worthy option for receiving critical alerts. Messages support who replied with one brief response and then nothing. Do not waste your money.

Useless

I got the all all configured before big storms moved through.

I woke up to see 3 tornado warnings had silently appeared on my phone despite testing at volumes that would wake the dead. And the map has entirely quit loading, even after rebooting my phone, switching to 5G, switching to wifi - nothing. Not only a waste of money but a false sense of security. Grateful none of the 3 warnings actually hit my house.

Will wake you up

Really disappointed to have paid for this. Only thing it does do is wake you up well. But when I needed it most, the rest of the app completely nonfunctional with old info. Many (correct) warning notifications, but once opened, app radar shows blank, list of notices show old watches, and just spins and spins as if trying to update.

App is Useless these days

I have had this app for years. I feel like it used to be very reliable. The last few active tornado warnings issued by NWS have come 20-30 minutes before this app ever alarms. Useless in a matter of a tornado warning

Used to work, garbage now

This app used to work great when I downloaded it maybe 3 years ago. It seems like it has no support now and can no longer be trusted to keep you weather aware.

Horrible app

Don’t waste your time or money. Even after subscribing you can’t set to get alerts. Waste of time and money.

Alert didn’t turn off after I changed settings, woke up my baby

I bought this app because I live in a tornado prone area. It went off during dinner for a thunderstorm warning (is that really β€œcritical”?). So I turned off alerts. Later during bedtime, it went off AGAIN to tell me the warning was canceled. πŸ™„ and woke up my baby despite the fact I had turned off alerts. Screw this app.

Didn't work no support

I had completely forgot about this app. Couldn't get it to work originally (couldn't set alerts). Then emailed them about 2 weeks ago. I uninstalled the phone and tried to restore the purchase and it wouldn't let me. Tried to make me sign in to an account. They replied saying I wasn't in their system. I then sent the receipts from iOS and it was crickets after that. I've now set the app to not auto renew. I'd suggest not subscribing through iOS if you want to try it. Then again with 3.3 stars I'm curious if it works at all. It never did for me. Probably because their system doesn't link to iOS.

6 min behind

The radar is at least 6-8 minutes behind the current time. What good is this? Wasted money. My free apps provide a more robust experience.

Splash screen - Nothing more. Apple will not refund-DO NOT BUY

App simply will not run on iOS 18.0.1. Therefore, uninstalled. Update:Apple refuses refund. It’s garbage, do not buy under any circumstances.

Annoying alerts

Purchased the year subscription to do the notifications and had i set for certain severe events. Went off today multiple times in less then two mins for a minor t storm with its loud buzzing. This would be great if what was for an ACTUAL severe event. The app causes more anxiety then its worth.

No alert settings

Subscribed for the monthly subscription from the ad in the main column. After applying, I could not locate setting in app navigation to adjust notification alerts. I tried looking in the FAQs for answers but they were outdated. I could not even adjust settings from my phone’s notification management system. Unsubscribed because of the UX and lack of faith I have that I’d get what I paid for.

This app is going to get someone killed.

I cannot stress this enough. Do not rely on this app to alert you for storms. Totally unreliable. Bought year subscription earlier today because my weather radio died. Set up and tested everything. Double checked as I was going to bed because there are bad storms tonight. Thank goodness I did. Alerts are not set because it said my subscription expired (it is not because I just paid for it today). This app should be removed from the App Store. It is extremely dangerous.

Storm watch

This app is in the top tier of my weather apps. It has not disappointed. This app woke me up in the middle of the night to alert me that my brother, three hundred miles away, was in a severe storm path. Called him next day, and he said it was dicey at the time of the alert. Check the test notification periodically to make sure it is functioning.

App will not open

I have tried to open this app multiple times, deleted and downloaded again and again, still no functionality. It is tough to pay for something that doesn’t work β€œ
