What is StormWatch+? Description of StormWatch+ 3350 chars
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.

StormWatch+ Pros
✓ Works GreatWorks as advertised. I love how loud this app is - always gets my attention. Great customer service if you have any questions..Version: 1.0.7
✓ Alerts are fantasticI’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..Version: 5.0.0
✓ StormWatch+ Positive ReviewsStormWatch+ Cons
✗ Doesn’t offer as much as my free weather appI paid $8.99 for this app because it was recommended by a local weather expert and I wanted notifications for my exact location as a backup to my NOAA radio. It never occurred to me that this app would not do the same things as my free Weather Underground app. For example, every time I open the app I have to choose my layers, while my WU app saves them until I change them. Also, when I see an area with a storm watch or warning, I can’t tap it to get the information, while my free WU app gives me the complete NWS watch / warning info just by tapping the shades polygon anywhere on the map. My free WU app will give me a complete extended forecast and an hourly forecast for anywhere, but this app only gives me a few highlights for one day. I can’t find anything that lets me look at a daily forecast for any location. Also this app takes more than two or three minutes to load every time I open it. My free WU app pops up immediately every time. And, regarding the push notifications for my area, it constantly notifies me that the watch is continuing ... I really don’t need reminding, trust me, when it comes to severe weather I am on alert all the time. It’s ironic that this app advertises no unnecessary notifications when every few minutes it beeps to say “your watch is still in effect.” And if that isn’t enough, in this morning’s storms this app’s radar was waaaayyy behind my free WU app’s radar. I am not happy and would like a refund. $8.99 a year is not worth it..Version: 4.1.6
✗ No Radar DataJust 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..Version: 5.0.1
