Re: Weather alerts on your phone
Shawn Paul, Thanks and just for the record if anyone else was looking for the app and could not find it I had trouble for some reason. Suddenly I could find it even without using the link, so I have no idea what the heck was going on.

Re: Weather alerts on your phone
I tried Weather Alert USA but for me, Imap Weather Radio is the best. With the former, I found there is just too much stuff to plow through to find the actual alert. It really depends on your needs and wants.

Re: Weather alerts on your phone
I have checked my settings as recent as yesterday during the severe weather we were having in our area. Not one time, not once did it sound to alert me of the severe thunderstorm watch nor the warnings. That is has been my experience with the app. That isn't opinion. If yours has been different. That's great, I'm glad for you. I'm glad I got the app when it was free as well. I'm also glad I'm not putting my life on it. , that I'm still using a good old-fashioned weather radio @ least when I am at my home or in the studio... Otherwise I'll keep looking for an all inclusive weather app. One that will alert me as watches warnings are sent.

Re: Weather alerts on your phone
Sean Paul, I do not blame you and completely agree. If some have had success with Imap Weather Radio that is great, but I could not trust it and found the alerts not timely enough. I am fascinated with the idea of text alerts if those will be any more timely than what other apps may provide. I wil have to look at Weather ALert USA since this is not an app I'm familiar with and would like to read info on. I still relie on local radio to get the most up-to-date forecast information during a weather event. THanks for sharing the name of this other app. On Jul 6, 2012, at 3:10 PM, Sean Paul wrote: I have checked my settings as recent as yesterday during the severe weather we were having in our area.

Hi, I don't use Verizon so I don't know, however, I do know of a service that does this. and the basic membership is free and it gives the functionality you are looking for.
