You have watches and warnings checked?

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. Not
lightning strikes near me. & one that will give me a good detailed weather
forecast. & thus far I've settled on Weather Alert USA.

I can't check my settings since I removed the app. :) THings may have
improved and in all fairness I have not used the app in nearly a eight
months or more.
I do not want to give anyone the impression the app is junk because your
experiences may be different then mine.

Hi:
I do not have battery issues with iMap. I have an iPhone 4 from AT&T. My
alerts also sound when my regular weather radio sounds. Check your
settings.

That is why I am glad I got it when it was free and also one of the
reasons I stopped using it. Not to mention it seemed to be chewing up
the battery sitting out in the background. ALthough maybe it has gotten
better.
There will be a time when cell carriers will be sending you free text
messages about weather alerts. Of course this is assuming the FCC and
others come together. :) And for our non-U.S. members the FCC is the
Federal Communications COmmission which is responsible for all things
telecom.

Thanks very much for confirming this for & with me Scott as far as IMAP
Weather Radio is concerned. I've posted about the extreme delay of IMAP
several times. We've had severe weather in our area all afternoon &
evening long today. Not 1 peep out of IMAP Weather Radio. Good thing
I'm setting @ the computer & have my NWS Chat logged in...

Anything delivered over the network may be subject to a delay. I used
Imap radio in the past and it also was subject to delays as well. In
fact I happen to have the radio on and received over-the-air
notifications more quickly than from Imap radio. This is not a negative
to the value the app has, but simply pointing out that text or
otherwise may be subject to delays as well.

I'd use something like iMap weather radio. Don't rely on texts. They
could be delayed.

Hi all,
Does anyone know if you can get weather alerts as text messages from
verizon? If so, where do I send the text message.
Thanks,
Stacey and GEB dog Chesley
