Description

Featuring Critical Alerts that override Do Not Disturb settings for the most important alerts, StormWatch+ aspires to be your daily weather app of choice, no matter the weather! Access the most pertinent weather information - like current conditions, hourly and extended forecast, and local or regional radar - quickly then get on with your day. Finally a weather forecast you can trust! Harnessing the local knowledge and dedication of more than 2,000 National Weather Service meteorologists nationwide, our goal is for StormWatch+ to replace the fickle, computer-generated, single-icon forecast found in most weather apps! SW+ ALERTS IN-APP UPGRADE For the ultimate severe weather preparation tool, check out our (also upgraded!) alerting technology, SW+ Alerts. SW+ Alerts is a life-saving service that sends you push notifications whenever hazardous weather threatens your specific location. Once again relying on the expertise of over 2,000 NWS meteorologists nationwide, SW+ Alerts compares multiple specific locations you select with weather watches and warnings issued by your local NWS office. Alerts are sent to the app ONLY if you are in the path of hazardous weather, eliminating the confusion associated with county-wide warning sirens or NOAA Weather Radio alerts. Simply tapping on a push alert will show your location with respect to the warning boundaries on a map, as well as display the full text of the alert. In addition, Critical Alerts “wake-me-up” audio and voice alerts will sound for the most severe warnings.^ In addition to monitoring fixed locations, the “EnRoute” feature allows you to receive severe weather alerts while on the go! Simply enable EnRoute and the app will track your location and alert you if you drive into a warned area, whether you know your exact location or not! Features of StormWatch+ Alerts include: * Your choice of push notifications in the event of: - Tornado Watches and Warnings - Severe Thunderstorm Watches and Warnings - Flash Flood Watches and Warnings - A suite of Tropical weather alerts - A suite of Winter weather alerts * Notifications sent even if the app is not running and your device is not in use * Push notifications accompanied by audio alerts that will wake you up (for Tornado and Severe Thunderstorm Warnings^) * Alerts for up to 5 fixed locations, which can be changed at any time * EnRoute, which uses your device's GPS location to actively monitor for severe weather as you travel * Map showing warned area and your location * Quiet time – to temporarily stop alerts during a specified time of day * Status buttons to disable individual locations StormWatch+ provides personalized weather alerts in the palm of your hand! ^ NOTE: Audio alerts feature Critical Alerts, which will sound wake-me-up audio at full volume and override Do Not Disturb for the most severe warnings, even if your device is silenced.

    I have tried to open this app multiple times, deleted and downloaded again and again, still no functionality. It is tough to pay for something that doesn’t work “

    The app does what it says and does it well - the plus alerts have helped me well during severe weather.
  • App Does What it’s Designed To Do!

    I love this app! Very handy and like having a real time alert system wherever you go. I like being able to pin my home location so I only get notified when severe weather is going to impact my specific location!
  • Used to have alert details

    Tornado season in Tennessee. I get tornado watches and warning push notifications. When I “tap to see details” it takes me to the app; however, the alerts are missing. No details at all. I have no idea if the warning is for my work (an hour away), on my way to work, or my home. Why is Apple billing me monthly for “severe-weather-somewhere-but-don’t-know-where-cuz-the-most-important-feature-has-a-known-bug-yet-hasn’t-had-a-solution-for-months.” Fix it or I’m deleting this app
  • No radar or any information

    Horrible weather app that doesn’t actually give you the weather. I subscribed to the alerts, but any settings never get saved so it gives me very little confidence this this will actually alert me when a tornado is about to hit my location.
  • No radar like others report dont use

    This app isn’t showing anything with the radar no matter what I turn on or off. So disappointing
  • No Radar Data

    Just downloaded the app after hearing about how great the alerts are. I like all those options, but the radar is totally blank every time I look at it. What a bummer.
  • Alerts are fantastic

    I’ve been using this app for several years now, even before the app was capable of critical alerts. It’s always been my go to for the alerts but honestly all the other features (radar, forecast, etc) were much better in other apps. Well that has all changed now. I follow them on Twitter and they’ve been extremely transparent during their entire rebuild over the past many months. It was obvious they were putting a lot of work into rebuilding the app. It shows! The radar works better than ever. NWS forecasts are there at the tap of a screen. Everything works much more smoothly and the interface is so polished. Here’s an example of how this app affects your life: I was vacationing in Austin last weekend. As is typical during a vacation I wasn’t staying up to date on news and weather. It was 65° and I got a notification on my phone for a Winter Storm Watch. Without that notification I would have had no idea that in short time the temp would start dropping. Sure enough by the next morning ice was starting to accumulate. Keep in mind if you enable emergency alerts in settings on your phone you will automatically get flash flood warning, potentially dangerous severe thunderstorm warning and tornado warning alerts directly from the EAS as long as the cell tower you’re pinging from is in the warning. But for all other alerts AND getting critical alerts for your EXACT GPS coordinates at all times this is your app. Plus now as soon as that alert pops up on your screen you are one tap away from the NWS’s forecast, the SPC’s severe weather outlook and radar. It’s well worth the investment, especially during severe weather season.
  • Great alerts. Terrible at everything else.

    Precipitation layer never loads for me. Pretty much useless if you need radar or forecast. But the alerts are loud and will wake you up so it’s great during severe weather season.
