ALERT FM-Local Alerts +Weather App Reviews

Love the map overlay radar

I love the within 5 min radar found on this app. The map overlay allows me to see exactly where warnings are in my area and helps me plan my day.

Great App

I really like this app to help me stay informed of the weather in my area.

Very expensive app

I bought the $3.99 upgrade, then the voice addition for .99 cents. I thought the on screen ads would disappear. Theyre still there. My area has no zip code service prividers. The GPS part works. Everything wants more money.

Just wrong.

It is dishonorable to charge such fees for the simple concept of trying to ensure peoples safety in natural disasters. I cant believe this is allowed. By the way, the 5 star ratings that have been posted are suspiciously similar to one another. Hmm...

Will cost more

While it is a good app, it will cost you $10 or more to unlock all of the features in the app

Needs an EAS Test Option

Annoying as Emergency Alert System tests are, the OPTION to enable receipt of EAS tests should at least be available. Otherwise, how would one ever know that the App is truly enabled, working, and most importantly of all, "listening?" Also, sometimes the Emergency Alert System is utilized in emergency preparedness drills, sanctioned by National, state and local emergency management agencies. As such, some EAS tests are used in conjunction with sanctioned drills. Hence, being able to enable the App to "listen" for EAS test broadcasts would be of great help to such coordinated drill efforts. As the App currently functions, no such feature exists. It is therefore, difficult to place any real degree of trust in the App, especially for the price of the required, "in-App purchases." Otherwise, the App at least APPEARS to be useful. - Fire Chief Ivan Loock, N7PRM (USDHS/FEMA COM-T

Volume too low

Installed a few days ago. There have been no severe storms since install, but can already tell from the test notification alert volume (with phone sound volume set to max) that there is no way this would wake me up should a real storm come through while asleep. Needs a louder notification sound to be useful.

Unhappy

Brought last spring was very happy with it. Till somehow it deleted itself off my phone, and now wont let me restore what I paid for. Tells me that my password is wrong but if I go to re buy it my password works fine!!! Very unhappy

Helpful

This app is really helpful because I live in tornado alley

Wont wake you up

This app will not wake you up at night in do not disturb or silent mode. Should mention this in description. Wasted $10 !

Love this app

This app is awesome loved while I travel

Waste of money and not dependable.

Dont waste your money. Find another app. Its not worth what I had to pay at all. The app never sends me alerts or anything. It is really annoying and not dependable.

Not much unless you pay 999

Not much without paying 999

Useless

Unless you upgrade for $9.99, you cant get any weather alerts. The free version is useless.

Rip off

I would rate this 0 stars if theyre was an option, have to pay $9.99 for weather and other alerts, its useless.

Awesome

This app is very useful and can save your life.

Abandon app

This app was the gold standard, but it does not work anymore. Last update 2014. I think the developers have abandoned it.
