Ratings and reviews

The app is great, but the customer service is remarkable! I reached out because I was unable to add my address. The response I received is that it is so new they have to wait for the map service to update, but in the meantime a temporary address at the end of my street was added from the backend into my app so that I have something close by.

Nice app, even unpaid, though I'd like to see a key on the map for what white/red dots/lines and boxes mean. I'm a little clueless as to what means what but I figure boxes represent potential direction, dots and lines are touchdown/rotation, and white/red is warning/tornado spotted

I wish there were a bit more free features like receiving texts but I understand why. App is fast, responsive, and accurate. It will warn you before Google updates.
