Ratings and reviews

Poor! Readability is difficult due to multiple layers that reduce the screen size for available reading. Also alerts seem to come rather late to be useful. Unless you want to run out of your home in a panic with your hair on fire!!

This used to be an essential app but lately the only notifications I receive are for t-storms. A few days ago we had a wildfire on the outskirts of the city. I learned about it hours after it started from an online post.

I do like the app - weather updates are quick, accurate and timely. What I would like to see as an update would be an option to make the alerts continue to sound until the user acknowledges the alert. I live out in the country in a region that has a fair amount of bad weather. Especially at night when sleeping, I would like the audible to sound until I acknowledge it...kind of like an alarm clock. This could be an option that you could choose to use or not. In my case...being alerted to serious weather is quite important! Perhaps even having different "levels" of alerts....Watches....Warnings...etc. Other than that...it's a good app that anyone that needs to monitor the weather should have.
