Non stop notifications
Every time there is one storm worth notifying it sends 7,000 push notifications about each storm. 1 or 2 is fine but it’s gotta have a bug that sends too many. I love the sound for the alert but not that many times.

Love hate relationship
Love that it shows exactly where they are and the path but every time you need it in a desperate situation it crashes continuously on you over and over and it’s a pain. By the time you get the path up it’s all over with so it’s kinda useless. If they would work the bugs out this is and could have the potential to be an outstanding tool for for spotters in the field or even people at home as another warning tool for them. Also this is for apple users only. If you have something so great and beneficial, why would you not make this accessible to all users to help or help save lives. I really like this app so I hope they work all the bugs and kinks out because it is very useful. Also make this app for all phones not just apple.

Used to be great. Now just obnoxious.
I’ve been using this app for years, and it’s always been the fastest and most accurate when it comes to alerting me about t-storms, hail, and most importantly, tornados. I’m not sure what changed, but at some point it stopped functioning correctly and now just sends endless alerts for the same events. We have a run-of-the-mill springtime thunderstorm moving through our area at the moment, and I have received at least two dozen alerts in the last twenty minutes or so, all saying exactly the same thing. This happens every time we get any type of weather event now. I’m currently looking for another app, because this one seems to have jumped the shark. Shame.
