Description

Named by Time.com's @Techland as one of the best weather apps for your iPhone and Apple Watch. Severe weather alerts for your exact location. Storm Shield gives you storm-based alerts for tornado, hurricane, flood, thunderstorm, winter storms and other life-threatening weather events via voice and push notification. Storm-based alerts help reduce false alarms by alerting you to severe weather based on your exact location within a county. County-based alerts can result in false alarms, warning you when your location in the county is not within the threatened area. What people are saying: • Storm Shield "alerted our family of the Broken Arrow, OK tornado, faster than the TV and tornado sirens." - Robyn • "I was in Oklahoma City during the tornado... we were right in its path. Your app literally was a life saver." - dcalk12 Benefits: • Get voice alerts just like a NOAA weather radio via push notification anywhere in the United States. • With Apple Watch, get a tap on your wrist when alerts are issued for your locations. • Add Storm Shield's widget to your Today screen to get quick access to active alerts for the first location in your app. • Touch Storm Shield's app icon on your 3D-Touch enabled iPhone for widget access. • Hi-Def radar map is your home screen so you can quickly see what's going on at your locations. • Fully supports Dark Mode in iOS 13. • Long-tap on the map to get current conditions, hourly and daily forecasts. • Save additional locations to ensure family members stay safe.

  • imho Too much drama

    It’s no secret that Mother Nature is angry. But I liken a Storm Shield Alert to a sneeze predicting a head cold or even the Flu. We all want tornado warnings — even watches—stuff like that. But I’m not a fan of being bombarded daily by the smaller things, not to mention your typical window of time feels unrealistic. Dramatic.
  • Not a threat

    Quit sending out notifications on things that are not a threat. I only want to hear about tornado and warnings.
  • Twice No Tornado Warnings given!

    Disappointed! UNRELIABLE! Twice very recently there have been tornado sirens blaring, no notifications! Went to the Storm Shield app no Updates even half hour into. Had to go to National Weather Service to find out why sirens were blaring. I did receive a tornado watch, which was helpful, because it was on my radar to be prepared, should sirens go off. But if there’s an actual tornado warning, it is imperative to receive a notification! These tornadoes/storms caused death, injuries & destruction nearby.
  • Tried a month, canceled

    I found the app to be glitchy. Can’t seem to run clouds and radar together most of the time. Local weather is not updated. Like it is raining right now with 40 mph winds. All it says is a cloud picture for my city. It would be different if it was free, buts it’s not.
  • Used to be great.

    I loved this app until the last update. Now it’s wrong more than it’s right and half the time I don’t get the alerts until the day after and then they all come at once 😭.
  • Excellent Reliability

    I’ve been using the app for at least two years and I rely on it for its accuracy and its reliability over any others I have used.
  • Location refresh not working

    I have used this for camping trips. The location will not refresh to identify current location. Rendering the main features useless. I hope you can fix this!
  • basic weather app but weather statements not viewable

    I am paying the monthly fee. It’s frustrating that the app will send a notification that “the national weather service had issued a special weather statement “ but when you click on the notification the app opens and the statement is not available at all. What is the point of displaying a notification if the statement cannot be read? Other than that the all is fine. It’s hard to believe all these 5 star reviews are not fake.
  • Lifesaving app
