Ratings and Reviews
Rating: 4.1/5 based on 7K+ reviews

2 ★ It shows a notification but it is soundless, and there's nothing to do with sound in settings. Then it says something like for those of you that aren't getting notifications, go someplace else. Wth
4 ★ Love the app but I hate that it's called Tornado. When alerts pop up and it's just a thunderstorm, I see "Tornado" first and freak a bit. Wish there was a way to change what actually pops up in the alerts to remove the name of the app.
2 ★ App keeps setting alerts for Thunderstorms, even when selected not to. App also sets radius for 10 mile minimum, even when selected for less. Annoyance does no one any good.
3 ★ I receive notifications on my phone but the alerts do not give sound so I am usually unaware there is an alert until I check my phone.
5 ★ This app alerts me to inclement weather BEFORE emergency alerts does! Deserves 5 stars just for that! Wish the radar was interactive. But I can monitor locations for those I love using this app.
3 ★ The app is great, but I would love it if the alerts didn't have the app name first, such as "Tornado Update- Severe Thunderstorm Watch." It is unnecessarily alarming.
3 ★ I'd like to give the rating a 5 but this morning I see 8t notified me at 1 am of a severe storm but it did not wake me. The notification noise is so low if it were a Tornado I woukd have slept right through it. My volume was all the way up. Is there a way to change this? I thought there would be a siten alert 📢.
5 ★ Provides useful information. You can adjust the monitored area (circle) to avoid getting unnecessary warnings. I'm pleased with this app.
4 ★ I like the set up, does it sound an alert tone when a watch or warning is in affect for your area? We can't hear the sirens in our house
1 ★ It won't track my current location, it says it needs to use my background location and in permissions I need to put all the time but my phone doesn't have that option.
1 ★ Doesn't work with my Android phone with latest update. Location services can't be enabled.
1 ★ The tornado severe thunderstorm alert continues to go beep on my phone. When l check the town's of my family, the Alert say NO ALERT. If so then why does my phone continue to beep at me but will not tell me where there is a severe thunderstorm and or tornado. Madeline I don't like this alert app. How do l enter the towns in which my family members live?
5 ★ Have been using this app for years it is the best tornado warning app and information that I prefer.
5 ★ Very useful. Tracks multiple threats in several different locations.
2 ★ I get many alerts that, when read, say 'there are no alerts in your areas'.
