one of the functions of location tracking should be that the station closest to you would be higher on the list. For example, I am in close proximity to CAK so the first station I should see is KDO94 If I were closer to CLE, I should see that station first.

It never asked me when I installed it to track my location. Not sure what good it would do since the station selection is good, at least one station in every state and D. C. and Puerto plus some Canadian provinces, but isn’t exhaustive. If it did track location you might be able to set up automatic alerts of warnings, and there are other ways of getting those. Hope this info is of some value. Bill Outman From: 'Ray T.

From: Bill Outman Sent: Friday, April 13, 2018 01:58 To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: RE: NOAA weather radio app I am running this app with an iPhone 5S with iOS 10; that is all about to be upgraded at some point soon. So I can’t speak to if it even works in version 11. Most of the buttons and tabs seem to speak. I usually use the radio tab and swipe over to the list of states and provinces, which will list the available stations. I can enter a state, such as Florida, where I happen to live, and go through the list of stations and double tap the button for the staion I want, for example Daytona Beach, which is my local station. It doesn’t have every station in the system, but it does have quite a selection. Sometimes you have to be aware of where the station might be located, for example, if you were looking for Cincinnati, you would not find it in Ohio since the station is over the river in Covington, Kentucky, so it is in that list. I discovered that when I was chedcking weather for the Cubs vs. Reds baseball series last week. When you open a station it should automatically play, and then you can swipe right over to pause to stop the broadcast when you are done, which is announced. I had originally found this app through ViA, which was an accessible app guide app from the Braill Institute of Los Angeles which I used to have on my phone. I took ViA off my phone as it was taking up a small amount of space, I wasn’t really using it any more and I was unsure it it would survive transitioning to iOS 11. So it seems to be a handy app to have around; I hope it survives the upgrade. Bill Outman From: 'Ray T.
