Verdict

The call

Storm Tracker°'s advantage is ratings volume (82K vs 3) and review sentiment (46% vs 33%). On price and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Emergency Alert holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Storm Tracker° has 82K ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 46% of Storm Tracker°'s written reviews are positive against 33% of Emergency Alert's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
