Great app to use without having to install a full weather program just to know of severe weather alerts. Would welcome notifications and the ability to add multiple locations.

I like the concept, I wanted a widget that would actively show warnings. But, it doesn't work that well. I will get a warning on another system, and then I could wait up to an hour before this thing shows that warning. If I do have something, such as an advisory, and it turns into a warning, it won't update itself. Sometimes I have to go into the program to see if the warning is even there, and right now it is, but the widget still shows the expired warning. It doesn't prioritize the importance of the warning either. It does it by date order. So if you have the 3x1 widget, it shows the last message and not the main one. So like it could say - there is a slippery ice advisory, but hide the warning of a blizzard on the way. More so, it takes a lot of space on the desktop. There is no reason to take up that much space, the text at the top can be smaller. They can fit more warnings if the tabs were half the height. -- I'm bumping this to a 4 since the creator did write back, and it might be an issue with my phone. Since it does work at least some of the time. I still think it should be a bit smaller looking.

Almost great app (very close). I am hoping for the update sometime soon. This does pretty much what I want. The background updates are still flaky for me. Multiple location would be nice. Storing the alerts locally would be nice for seeing last warnings without current network service. Thanks for the quick update due to the NWS change (faster than USPS package delivery).

Only one county I live in the corner of two states and three counties, only able to choose one state and one county. No option for it to follow via GPS. App is antiquated. One star is being generous
