NOAA Weather Alerts App Reviews

Great app. Saves lives with the warnings.

There are a lot of alert apps, but of the few Ive tried, this is the most reliable.

I like the good info and easy to understand and also keep me updated about any weather condition.

Very helpful and accurate when storms are coming.

Great warning system for your location no matter where you are. Keeps you updated to local weather issues.

Confusing user interface. Frequently crashes in iOS 8. Have reset location several times. Too much time spent in setting and resetting various features. Since this app loses location I do not trust it to warn me with an alert for my area. A total waste!

Cant get it to download on my phone. :(. Have tried several times to get the app.

Gives ample notice.

Service is awesome.

This is a good app. So much personalization and great a great way to get warnings when Im not watching TV or whatever. Even though my family doesnt currently own a NOAA weather radio, this is one of the next best things. When you cant rely on outdoor warning sirens alone, radios and apps are probably where you turn to next.

Great app. I would like the option though to only here the alert beep and not the sound of wind or a tornado siren afterwards, doesnt sound very professional. Also there is a bug. If you dont want something on under, say, emergencies, i turned it off and it shuts the entire emergencies category off. It does that for all types of alerts. Fix the bug and ill change to 5 stars.

Need a way to delete old alerts that is quicker than doing one at a time.

Does what it says Use it all the time No problem East to understand

I have had this app for several years now. I got this app when we moved to Oklahoma, where having constant access to weather alerts can literally save your life. For the first several years, this app worked very well. However, now it has simply stopped pushing notifications at this point (despite following all of the instructions provided by the app for troubleshooting this problem) — alerts just pile up in your inbox, but, never get pushed out to actually alert you. This has also occurred on my wife’s phone and on the phone of a colleague of mine to whom I had recommended this app (this is not a “stupid user” problem …). This is not simply a “small tech problem,” but, in the context of a place where somebody can have very severe weather seasons (like Oklahoma), this failure can literally endanger the person relying on this app. Yes, I get my weather alerts in many ways (NOAA weather radio, texts, Twitter, Facebook, and from my computer), but, when this app worked, NOTHING beat since, sometimes, you are away from your computer/home. Now that it seems to have failed, I strongly recommend people considering purchasing this to look elsewhere.

I was hoping that this apps tornado warnings would bypass DND on our phones, but no such luck. Just another $4 app. On the bright side I will now get earthquake and volcano warnings!

Alerted of a tornado warning 5 minutes late. Warning issued at 3:41am and this app alerted us at 3:46am. I couldnt recommend this app to my worst enemy.

I get the same thing with weather bug theres got to be better apps out there for now Im sticking with weather bug

Not getting alerts right away. Sometimes they sit in the inbox, with no push notification. Sometimes I only get the push after going into the app. Sometimes the push is 10-20 minutes late. Not reliable in a true emergency.

This app used to work, but now it does not. An actual tornado passed within a couple of miles from my home this morning and destroyed a nearby apartment complex. Although a warning was issued by the National Weather Service for my location, I was not warned. This is not an issue with my user settings. It just doesnt work anymore (at least not for me).

This app suffers from giving too much information. Battery went from 100% to 61% in about 2 hrs. Even at the lowest setting I still received alerts from very far away. Looking at the map? Forget about it. Lots of giant icons that wont go away until the alert has expired. Not sure if they refund your money on the Apple App Store but if I was on Google Play I would have definitely requested a refund.
