Description
Severe Weather Alerts & Radar
Named by Time.com's @Techland as one of the best weather apps for your iPhone and Apple Watch.

Severe weather alerts for your exact location. Storm Shield gives you storm-based alerts for tornado, hurricane, flood, thunderstorm, winter storms and other life-threatening weather events via voice and push notification.

Storm-based alerts help reduce false alarms by alerting you to severe weather based on your exact location within a county. County-based alerts can result in false alarms, warning you when your location in the county is not within the threatened area.


What people are saying:
• Storm Shield "alerted our family of the Broken Arrow, OK tornado, faster than the TV and tornado sirens." - Robyn

• "I was in Oklahoma City during the tornado... we were right in its path. Your app literally was a life saver." - dcalk12


Benefits:
• Get voice alerts just like a NOAA weather radio via push notification anywhere in the United States.
• With Apple Watch, get a tap on your wrist when alerts are issued for your locations.
• Add Storm Shield's widget to your Today screen to get quick access to active alerts for the first location in your app.
• Touch Storm Shield's app icon on your 3D-Touch enabled iPhone for widget access.
• Hi-Def radar map is your home screen so you can quickly see what's going on at your locations.
• Fully supports Dark Mode in iOS 13.
• Long-tap on the map to get current conditions, hourly and daily forecasts.
• Save additional locations to ensure family members stay safe.

Weather conditions (currenty at 10:15 am Tuesday 4/16/24.

Winds gusting up to 45 mph plus. Storms north of eastern Jackson County. Tornado warning south of Trimble, Mo. very on spot weather conditions happening. Advising people in these areas - take care and cover. Warning people not to get out into these conditions. Informative.

&&

I don’t know who is this person or should I say meteorologist is, but && you have done a spectacular job from one meteorologist to another. It’s a thankless job, believe me I know. Keep up the great work.

Great App But Needs Critical Alerts & CarPlay Support

I still come back to Storm Shield after trying varying other weather apps and I rely upon it for its location-based alerts and accuracy. Couple suggestions: 1. The app should support Critical Alerts as mentioned in previous reviews. This would benefit greatly those that use Do Not Disturb or Sleep Focus at night or when the mute switch is on. 2. CarPlay support would help while we drive and use CarPlay. Maybe having notifications feed to us while using CarPlay would be of benefit as well.

imho Too much drama

It’s no secret that Mother Nature is angry. But I liken a Storm Shield Alert to a sneeze predicting a head cold or even the Flu. We all want tornado warnings — even watches—stuff like that. But I’m not a fan of being bombarded daily by the smaller things, not to mention your typical window of time feels unrealistic. Dramatic.

Not a threat

Quit sending out notifications on things that are not a threat. I only want to hear about tornado and warnings.

Twice No Tornado Warnings given!

Disappointed! UNRELIABLE! Twice very recently there have been tornado sirens blaring, no notifications! Went to the Storm Shield app no Updates even half hour into. Had to go to National Weather Service to find out why sirens were blaring. I did receive a tornado watch, which was helpful, because it was on my radar to be prepared, should sirens go off. But if there’s an actual tornado warning, it is imperative to receive a notification! These tornadoes/storms caused death, injuries & destruction nearby.

Tried a month, canceled

I found the app to be glitchy. Can’t seem to run clouds and radar together most of the time. Local weather is not updated. Like it is raining right now with 40 mph winds. All it says is a cloud picture for my city. It would be different if it was free, buts it’s not.
