What users are saying

1. Whenever there is a Tornado Warning, even in the middle of the night, I will be alerted and can take action! This app can save lives! Make sure you have battery saver disabled for this app and you allow it to alert through DND.Sends alert late or not at all.

2. There is a different alert sound for tornado watch/ T-storm warning (those would be just your regular notification sound).

3. I installed this because I am afraid the city emergency sirens are not loud enough to wake me up at night, the app's tornado alert however is loud enough to wake up anyone, I would think.

4. The alert for the tornado warning came on today even a few seconds before the sirens and sent us right into our shelter.

5. I downloaded this app to get tornado warnings overnight, but during storms, it sends an alarm notification every few seconds to minutes regardless of the reason.

6. The alarms on a tornado app need to be able to override the sound settings and be able to wake people up.

7. But the last several times it has no alerts and notices for my area when the Weather Channel AND local news has severe thunderstorm warnings with hail going on.

8. It has not updated my location information for a tornado warning since the last one at 2am.

9. My area was under a tornado warning off and on all nignt, so the app went off as well.

10. A tornado went through the next town over in the middle of the night and I only got a push notification.

11. I have several weather apps cuz i live in a tornado prone area w/ disabled kids.
