Great customer service

I email them about the the voice on the app being to fast. They emailed me back really fast even for a holiday. Just do your self a favor quite reding this and just down load the app.

Alerts Way Too Quiet and Short

Adequate weather app but do NOT discard your NOAA radio! The push alerts in this app are way too quiet and short and would NOT wake me in an emergency like for a tornado warning. I just got an alert and the phone was on the end table right next to me, and I barely heard it while watching TV. Even the dogs did not hear it! This app needs a customizable audible alert that is separate from the ringer volume that requires action by the user to suppress the alert to ensure it wakes people up in order to actually save lives. Also, the app should ignore the iPhone Do Not Disturb setting. I dont want phone calls or text alerts at 3am, but I definitely want to be woken up for a tornado warning!

Suckered

A joke. Expecting nws type audio, well you arent going to get it.

Not Even a Weather Radio!

Gives NOAA Weather alerts but not a true weather radio. You cannot listen to NOAA weather radio stations. Just reads the weather prediction which is not even an NWS product! Certainly not worth $5! Sorry I wasted my money!

Like the new look

Like the clean new look. Will have to wait and use for awhile to see how well it works.

Gets worse with time

First got this app about 3 years ago. Worked fine at first. Now just wants to charge you more for silly add ons such as lightning strikes. Now get better information from free apps. I do not mind paying money for a good app. This one has become greedy.

Good app but voice is annoying

This is a good app however, the ladys voice is VERY annoying and she sounds like she is on speed. The voice was better when it was the mans voice. Please bring back the old voice.

What has happened?

This used to be an awesome app..... when it was IMAP. Since the update I never get any alerts. Theres is an active tornado warning for my county and there is no alert from this app. EPIC FAIL!!! All it shows is a storm watch! Checked all the settings and everything is correct. So disappointed I wasted 15.00 on this.

App crashes

App crashes upon opening. Im on iOS 8.3

Doesnt work.

Waste. Upon opening the app asks if you want to enable location services. Trying to select yes but it doesnt work. Tried to select no but that doesnt work either. App wont let you proceed without selecting one and I cant do either. Waste of space at the moment. Deleted and reinstalled to no avail.

NW FL Radar no longer works real time

First WT took away the desktop app after promising it would return and it did, sorta. It is an ugly thing though. Now this app which I paid good money for and Im getting RAINED on when WT is showing theres no rain close by. I call that a failure. On the old desktop app I could choose from 3 close by radar loops, one from the airport, one from Pensacola, or one from Tallahassee. Now I have no idea where this loop is coming from but I can tell you this...its not real time. This on your current desktop app and on your iPad and iPhone app.

Best Weather App For iPhone!

I have used a number of applications regarding weather information, but this application is by far the best (in my opinion) I love the fact I receive push notifications with sounds directly from the NWS to my iPhone. Not only do I stay informed at all times, but the application is incredibly easy to use and looks great on the iPhone. This is a must have!

Great for alerting

This is my go-to app for watches and warnings. I love that I get alerts ONLY if Im in the watch/warning polygon, so that I dont get disturbed when I dont needs to be. Suggestions: 1) The app needs a do-not-disturb mode. 2) Its not obvious how to delete/edit a location. How am I supposed to know that I need to swipe? 3) Id like to apply different alerts to different locations. For example, I may want all warnings for my location, but only tornado warnings for my other locations. If youre looking for a reliable watch/warning app, this one fits the bill.

Support is helpful!

Contacting support answered all my questions very quickly. Nice update, love the lightning alerts! App is great for precise and timely alerts. Highly recommended, esp. if you do not have any other alert source. Got my tornado warnings as I was closely watching the storms.

So crashy its unusable; not actually weather radio at all

Scroll, crash. Launch, crash. Add a location, crash. Delete a location, crash. Relaunch, wait 10 seconds... Yep, thats a crash. Maybe its an iPad problem? Radar doesnt appear to be hi-def/level 2. And, um, wheres the *actual* weather radio? You just want Siri to read me text when I press play? Terribly misleading name. At least give an option to have Siri *automatically* read new warnings, ala weather radio, so I can take my eyes off the screen (e.g., while driving). No better than the much more feature full Storm from Wunderground for warnings. Worse at everything else.

Stuck on lightning purchase screen

In general I love this app - primarily for the always on background notifications of weather warnings. I usually use something else for radar maps and forecasts, but this has the best weather warnings. That said, since the latest update, I cant get past the screen that comes up on startup asking me to purchase a lightning prescription. Nothing else seems to work, including the "get started button." Will try deleting and reinstall to see if that will help.

Works great

One thing i have to say about the developer is that they respond FAST, and follow up to work through whatever issues there may be. I like that.. BTW- its been working great during the Texas storms

Very nice app.

Alerts well.

Best Push Notifications

There are other weather apps out there. This is timely. It pushes notifications to your phone almost always many seconds before the NWS S.A.M.E. Alert radio goes off if not the same time. It follows you. I have used it on travels and warned me while driving in unfamiliar areas. My wife has it on her phone and also loves it. Have been using it over a year.

Best weather app!

This is your daily go-to weather app!
