Ratings and reviews

What an incredibly useful, straight-to-the-point app! Does exactly what I need it to, and perfectly! Fully customizable notification categories, the ability to customize which types of alerts fall into which category, real-time alerts as they're posted by the NWS, and zero branding, clean notifications. Thank you, devs! Probably one of my favorite apps on my phone for how well it works.

Thanks for making the ripple edit slider remember it's position! Had some wind alerts yesterday and worked just as expected. Comparing alert times to IEMBot, at least with the phone screen on it took less than 30 seconds, which seems great to me and comparable to WEA as I remember enough of a delay being able to confirm I was in a polygon from IEMBot before it was sent to my phone via WEA. With the screen off, I didn't time it in seconds, but the notification timestamp and IEMBot's timestamp were a minute different, which could be also within 30 seconds. Even if it was a minute, I think the delay would be caused by my phone (or Android). I added the app to my phone's battery optimization ignore list since then just in case that was a problem. I am also glad to hear that you are already working on something similar to the hazard tag feature I suggested, and will be looking forward to it and any other features to make it even more customizable, because after that this was what my idea of a perfect weather radio was on the software side.

Downloaded app in May 2021 as replacement to WDT's Weather Radio, which is no longer supported. Have had the opportunity to run it through its paces and works great. Notifications seem to come within seconds to a couple of minutes after NWS issues its watch, warning, etc. Very timely. With the recent update to add subscription, I opted to pay the subscription, even though I don't need the added feature. I will support developers with great apps, and this is one everyone should have.
