Users praise AlerWX for fast, reliable alerts and a robust toolkit (radar, SPC outlooks, weather radio) with strong customization for local offices. The app is repeatedly described as a go-to source for NWS/EAS information, and reviewers note active development and responsiveness. However, recurring issues include crashes after updates, inconsistent or missing push notifications, and outdated or hard-to-access notification setup guidance, with several reviews citing website problems or limited in-app controls. Overall sentiment is highly positive for features and speed, tempered by reliability concerns around updates and notifications.

  • Comprehensive toolkit including radar, SPC outlooks, weather radio, and alerts in one app.
  • Strong customization/localization with presets for local offices and location-based alerts.

NOAA Weather Radio on App Store is FOUR DOLLARS! This has the weather radio in your area! It has a weather map! Click on your local station and get the rain forecast and it will alert you when there is a warning or watch! And really, iPads don’t have Wireless Emergency Alerts (WEA) and this brings it to your iPad by tracking your location and finding warning and sending an alert! I’m TELLING YOU! GET THIS APP NOW! JUST GET IT!
