alerts when its supposed to.
SO FAR IT'S BEEN GREAT
saved me and my kids life 😌 ❤️
1st day i downloaded and we had a tornado warning. this app was the 1st to alert and used the tornado siren sound. it was the 1st to do anything the entire night. very happy
great
has been working great for as long as I have had it.
This app saved me so many times when other Weather apps wasn't pushing out notifications like it should. This one does.
It started out amazing, I live in Moore, Oklahoma and I sat all the alerts that were important to me and initially every watch and warning worked perfectly for the first couple of alerts , then as severe storms moved in no alerts , that's why I have several other weather alert apps, this still is an amazing app lots of much needed info and tutorials for disaster preparedness and you can get info for emergency response in your affected area if the need ever arises, I highly recommend this app !
This App is excellent! It accurately warned Us of an approaching Tornado. So We could get to shelter in time.
nice features and alerts
