For what it's worth, my own iMapweather radio has successfully alerted me of each thunderstorm watch and warning that has occurred within the past twenty-four hours. In fact, we are under one now. It also alerted me to a severe thunderstorm warning issued yesterday evening while we were watching a movie in a different part of the county. While the watch/warning box didn't even affect my home location, it detected my current location and issued the alert as appropriate. I had wondered if that would really worked as advertised, and sure enough, it did. My only complaint about the alerts at this point would be the inability to specify a more obnoxious alert tone. While the app did a great job of sending alerts in the middle of the night, I was sleeping too hard to have heard them. In some ways, it would be nice to have it alert me in the same way the iPhone's timer does, making racket until I turn it off. That would be sure to get my attention better. :-) In any case, more customization of the alerts would make this app really wonderful. Having said that, it does allow for very detailed customization of the type of alerts I wish to receive, which I have not seen in any other weather app as of yet.
