User Reviews
My only complaint is that the radar is for present time. You can’t see into the future with it. Please change that.
This app is amazing and has kept my family safe for years. Good job guys!
This app gives me peace when all is good.
There’s been two tornadoes within 20 miles of my house in the last couple of weeks and this app hasn’t said anything.
This app is a joke! Was looking for a reliable app to alert for storms and especially tornadoes, this one looked legitimate and had good ratings, but I’m not sure why?? Every time we get a severe thunderstorm, or tornado watches, we get an alert from this app after the danger is over. Ridiculous! Don’t waste your time! Get your local news weather app!
Very Good App For Alerting Me of Extremely Dangerous Weather Conditions in My Area.
Could Be Updated…
Best app for warning around
Shouldn’t a warning sound regardless of phone on dnd or sleep schedule? It did not. Relied on noaa radio for my warnings last night.
This app has always been great for my family, as we are in a tornado prone area with no sirens. However, we’ve noticed in the last couple of months we no longer receive any alerts for severe weather. All settings remain turned on and unchanged, it appears to be some sort of bug within the app. All 5 members of my family are having this issue.
