Push notifications update...

Fixed it...On the alerts page, it tells you to swipe left or press edit to turn on/off notifications or to delete selected locations. Are your locations grayed out? Mine were. Using edit, only lets you delete the locations. If you swipe left on them, you’ll notice a button to actually turn the notification on or off. There must’ve been a version that added this feature and defaulted them to off, because I know that I never turned them off myself... I turned them back on this way, and now instead of being grayed out, they’re bold n black / asserted. About an hour later, since there is weather going on, I got my first alert after doing this. If you’re having the same issue, give it a try. It may make you love the app again...Now just can’t hear the weather radio audio. Just spins. The radar takes a bit to load as well. The app needs some updates, but at least Iam getting the alerts again...😁

This app allows you to to get a live stream of any NOAA Weather Radio in the US, plus some Canada and tropical radio feeds as well. It also allows you to receive weather alerts that you customize for your specific county or other location of interest. Here is the only thing I wish there was a workaround for: Part of why I purchased this app is so I can have it wake me up if there is severe weather or flash flooding at night. I typically turn my phone on airplane mode when I go to sleep, and it doesn’t look like alerts will come through when the phone is on airplane mode. So, on nights where there is severe weather or flooding expected, it looks like I will need to keep my phone off of airplane mode, but then will also need to temporarily turn other notifications for email, texts, and phone calls off so that if there is a severe weather warning at night, it can wake me up and I don’t have to worry about text messages waking me up! Also, you have the option of paying an additional 99 cents as an in-app purchase for additional information on the products issued by the NWS/SPC for your area, which is very helpful.

Again, I am writing a review for this app… I live in Sioux City, Iowa and I want to listen to the weather radio broadcast that is out of Sioux Falls North Dakota and whenever I try to play the Weather Radio feed for Woodberry County Iowa, I constantly and constantly and constantly have a message saying oops seems to be a problem streaming Your feed and we’re working on fixing it. I have had this message come up for the last 3 1/2 years… When will this weather radio feed out of Sioux Falls, North Dakota for Sioux City Iowa in Woodberry county finally be fixed? I am getting terribly, terribly, terribly… Fed up with this app. Will somebody please fix the problem. I am giving the developers the benefit of the doubt, but they do not respond to any of my emails and I feel they do not look at these reviews and do not fix any of the problems that us consumers relay. I’m giving this app until June 1, 2025 and is if it is not fixed by the that time, I will be deleting this app. I also recommend to others, do not download this app if you need it for our area and region because it just does not work. If the problem is fixed and I am able to then get the Weather Radio feed for Woodberry County Iowa that is out of South Dakota Sioux Falls I will keep this app. But like I said previously, if this is not fixed by the time that I have given, I am deleting this Weather Radio app…!

What's New in Version 15 Synthesized NOAA Stations Can't get a live broadcast signal? WeatherRadio now generates on-demand NOAA-style audio from live National Weather Service data. Zone forecasts, hazardous weather outlooks, coastal waters, river and flood statements, short-term forecasts, and more — with real-time alert interrupts during playback. Radar & Overlay Improvements The radar map now includes an animated infrared satellite layer alongside live radar. Active advisories are rendered as color-coded overlays directly on the map and filter automatically as you scrub the timeline. Tropical cyclone and tropical storm statements are now included in the advisory overlay. Custom Station Improvements Custom stations now support a frequency field and an optional radar station code, so your custom feeds can show radar just like built-in stations. Callsign and frequency are displayed throughout the app wherever the station appears. Station Names All broadcast station names have been updated to match official NOAA transmitter designations. Bug Fixes & Polish Various stability and performance improvements.
