This is the weather app of all time. The critical alert feature is pretty much instantaneous, and the notification sound is very loud. I also enjoy that you can view the Storm Prediction Center outlooks at a click of only a few buttons, and you can filter/star your local Weather Forecast Offices, you can listen to the local weather radio, and there is an interactive weather radar!!!

I’ve been looking for a weather app that sends a notiflication with Critical Alerts and this app is absolutely PERFECT for it, and it’s FREE! It’s super customizable to choose which alerts give you the Critical Alerts and it’s beautiful. The radar is AMAZING.. with NEXRAD Level 2??? AND it has NOAA Weather Radio stations?????? Honestly, #1 weather app I’ve EVER used. Keep up the beautiful work! 🥹❤️🩹🫶

Given the fact AlerWX sends you notifications almost INSTANTLY, this might be an alternative to IEMBot, and I’m gonna use it to keep track of warnings in my area.Very easy & simple to set up, AND it shows you the SPC outlooks AND it has an interactive radar?This might be better than MyRadar!

We actually get all the WFO Feed data from Iowa Environmental Mesonet! With using that we get instant products as the NWS sends them out! We love the feedback and thank you for being an AlerWX User!
Finally! A dev who listens!

The planets mist have aligned, because an app developer actually listened to their audience. We asked for annoying advertisements to be removed, so that potential hazards can be seen firsthand, and you (the dev) responded! This should not be as shocking as it is, but in 2018, nobody really listens to anybody anymore. I cannot thank you enough for actually listening to us customers.

I need to listen to my audience. You guys are what makes this app popular! Of course I had to. The only reason it took so long is when I made V3 it was coded in Xcode Beta so it had the iOS 12 support but Apple was not allowing anything iOS 12 on the App Store yet. So I had to halt releasing it. But all the ads are gone and are not coming back! So I hope you enjoy the app and stay tuned for future updates!
