Features & Capabilities

StormWatch+ brings trusted local weather at a glance. It shows current conditions, hourly forecasts, and regional radar, so you can plan your day with confidence. Built on the expertise of more than 2,000 National Weather Service meteorologists nationwide, StormWatch+ aims to be your daily weather app of choice, offering more accurate forecasts than single-icon models. In addition to standard weather data, you’ll get Critical Alerts that override Do Not Disturb for the most important warnings.

SW+ Alerts (an in-app upgrade) expands protection with location-specific push notifications for Tornado Watches/Warnings, Severe Thunderstorm Watches/Warnings, Flash Floods, tropical and winter alerts. Alerts arrive even when the app isn’t running, may include wake-up audio, and support up to five fixed locations plus an EnRoute mode that tracks your position as you travel. A map shows the warned area relative to you, and Quiet Time lets you pause alerts during the day. This combination of precise, location-based warnings and easy controls helps you stay ahead of severe weather and get back to life safely.

User Reviews

StormWatch+ is praised for its real-time, loud, location-specific severe-weather alerts and for its useful radar/forecast data, with many users noting a polished UI and top-tier positioning among weather apps. However, recurring issues across reviews include subscription/ billing problems where alerts fail to trigger despite payment, radar/precipitation layers that won’t load or lag behind, and alerts that are overly frequent or mis-timed for minor events. Additional reports cite stability and compatibility problems (crashes, iOS version issues), difficult navigation to alert settings, and slow or unresponsive customer support. These concerns undermine reliability for critical weather events.
Pros
  • Real-time, loud, location-specific severe-weather alerts that wake you up
  • Location-based alerts via pinning your home location so you only get alerts for your area
  • Radar and forecast integration with easy access to NWS data and improved radar reliability
  • Polished UI and overall top-tier reliability among weather apps
Cons
  • Alerts not delivered despite subscription or billing issues causing loss of alerts
  • Radar/precipitation layers not loading or lagging behind (blank radar)
  • Alerts mis-timed or overly frequent for non-severe events, causing unnecessary anxiety
  • App stability/compatibility problems (crashes, not running on newer iOS versions)
  • Settings/navigation difficulties and slow or unresponsive customer support

This app used to be very handy. Now it takes my money and says I haven’t subscribed, so can’t get alerts. 🤬

…bc it’s one of the few that a) overrides donor disturb WHILE ALSO b) customizing which alerts I get. I, for one, only want tornado WARNINGS, nothing else. But I guess they don’t care about their app any more, hence the ratings dip. Shame. I renewed my subscription but while, yes, they took my money, the app still thinks I’m not paying and won’t send me alerts. I’ve deleted the app and reinstalled. Nothing. Useless. Remove it from the App Store if you’re MIA, devs. It’s okay to move on…

I’ve been paying for this app for a very long time, however alerts do not come through despite having settings correct. Waste of money and a total disappointment.
