App does not have alerts i paid for 2 apps one for each phone. I contacted the developer and received an email with a case number stating I will be contacted the next business day. That was 3 days ago. They appear to be a scam company. This is what they respond to your app issues with "Thank you for contacting DTN. Your email request has been received and assigned Case number 00612542 . Emails received outside of normal business hours will be addressed the next business day. Thank you"
Does not work the way it used to. No updates and won't alert as it should. I am very disappointed.
i had already bought this apps premium 2 times.
Wanted to charge 10 dollars... Did not work at all
Not free in a tornado alert and you want money for alerts bs

Not funtional ar all
Not available in Canada.
I'm still stuck at the media provider page
Love it
Works great. Love it. I live in a state where we are always getting bad weather and this app ring my phone every time bad weather was coming. I don't understand why people rate this app so low. I gave five stars bc it's that great of a app. Thank you
Have to try this out for awhile before rating. So far its ok
I got the latest update and it appeared to fix the bugs!
Needs lots of improvement it would be better if the alarm was louder
Love it. Everyone needs this. I didn't even know a bad storm was heading my way until it started to alert me. Thank you
Doesn't work and I want a refund. And I can't even get that even though I just bought it.
The alerts is fair. Temps and everything else on the free side are way off.so not a good download for weather.if the paid side is not any better its a wast of money
Tried to upgrade to weather radio but it says billing is not supported
Crap says sun pouring rain says sun 80 km winds baseball hail pouring rsin
No watches or warnings without paying for the app what a rip off
I love it
I love this app. Muah
I love this looks good OK
Keeps stopping
The accuracy and timing of the radar help me plan my day around rain and storms. Push notifications wake me in my sleep when warnings have been issued. Love the idea of getting local info from my county.
Does nothing but request inapp purchasing, which in wouldn't mind if it was upfront about it in the description
For the money I paid, I expected more. I downloaded the app specifically for the push notifications. We are currently under two watches, and not only did this app not alert me, but it doesn't even show them. I have them selected for in my settings. I wish I could get a refund.
