1. [R1] 5/5 · US Accurate and Effective Weather App: I’ve been a subscriber of this app for several years and keep being more impressed over the years. I was in Canada visiting my BFF and was able to track the weather while I was there. This is in another country and still, of course, captures the accuracy of the weather of where I live in the USA - very impressive!
2. [R13] 5/5 · US Predictions: Heck of a lot better on weather predictions than any local news stations!!!!!
3. [R42] 5/5 · US Doppler Dave: It’s accurate
4. [R6] 5/5 · US Good notifications: I can’t believe Storm Shield has text to speech when a notification pops up. I’m really loving it. Thank you.
5. [R86] 5/5 · US It speaks: Only app that speaks the alerts. Love that so i can hear whats going on without looking at the screen
6. [R95] 5/5 · US Very helpful!: This lets me know there is a tornado warning before anything else. And it will even show you the expected path. That’s the number one reason I like this app. I also like being able to pinpoint the exact location of my home and save other areas that will let me know what other counties are going through before it gets to me. I highly recommend it.
7. [R119] 5/5 · US Notification: March 4th 2025, my alarm to get up was going off, my bed was shaking the Red Cross alarm was going off and I could not wake up enough to figure out what was going on. This app StormShield saying “Tornado warning” is what got me up and in the closet. We had no time to make it to the cellar as the tornado damaged our barn to our south and took a gutter drain of the north west corner of
8. [R17] 3/5 · US Pins Other Areas: I like the radar and temperature features as well as storm warnings. But other places show up as pinned I don't care about. I don't know how they got pinned or how to get rid of them. I'm sure every time I delete it and start over I'm charged for it.
9. [R29] 5/5 · US Great radar: I love your radar and weather warnings. I live in a remote location and your website is invaluable. In
10. [R152] 3/5 · US Good radar, weather alerts not so much: Radar works great but anyone there is an audible weather alert, you cannot view what the alert is about and read about it. Takes a long time for the information for the alert to be posted.
11. [R7] 5/5 · US Go to!: This is the weather answer; I have all our children’s towns in there. I open up this app and know what it happening all over! The best!
12. [R8] 1/5 · US Do Not Download - Money Hungry Developers: I have been a loyal customer since the app launched. It was my favorite and the best for future radar watches. It helped with Tornado tracking in my area and having the ability to warn my local family. This App has increased its fees from yearly to monthly to weekly at ridiculous levels, especially in a time where everything else is ridiculously expens
13. [R16] 2/5 · US Price Increase is too much,: Latest price increase to over $11 a month is too much. It adds uo to more than $120 year. After almost a decade, I am cancelling my subscription. I will miss you but this is too much.
14. [R21] 1/5 · US Price increase: This app is not worth $11.49 a month. What are you doing?
15. [R24] 1/5 · US $10.99: $10.99 a month is crazy! Cancelled my subscription and I hope others message you all about it.
16. [R2] 1/5 · US Terrible: The app never lets you know when severe weather events are coming or other severe weather events will happen.
17. [R4] 2/5 · US Not as good: This app used to be really good, but I’m getting alerts and when I click nothing is there. It’s also not updating while I’m traveling, even though I refresh.
18. [R5] 4/5 · US Used to be better: I have used Storm Shield for many, many years. Lately its quality has gone downhill. I get other notices about severe weather in my saved areas, but when I open up my saved locations on StormShield, it is not showing the NWS alerts, even though my saved setting is well within the "polygon" that Storm Shield is supposed to be covering for me. Today, I tried to send a Support requ
19. [R10] 1/5 · US Used to work…: I’ve used this app for years but in the last year it’s not reliable. Sometimes a local alert will pop up on my phone, sometimes not, but when I go to check the alert it’s not there (even though it’s active). I have better luck with a local weather station app that’s hundreds of miles away. I’m not sure what glitch is happening, but for a paid app - I expect more. Please address this
20. [R11] 4/5 · US opinon: this app is so good it’s just i wish that you would ent have to pay so see more
21. [R18] 1/5 · US Not that great: I purchased this app several years ago but now says I need upgrade for full features what!
22. [R41] 1/5 · US Disappointing: I liked when the app was free, I reset my phone and when I launch the app it prompts to try for a week free OR pick a plan!!!! Ridiculous all these apps baiting you into downloading only to cost money. I can get the weather elsewhere.
23. [R62] 1/5 · US What happened: I had the basic App for free and would give it 5 stars. But now it wants me to pay for the premium version and will not let me back on my old site.
24. [R23] 1/5 · US Forecast sucks: I’ve used this app for many many years but now the forecasting is terrible. It says the high will be 65 degrees but then the hourly says it will only get up to 37 degrees. I only use it for the radar now.
25. [R26] 1/5 · US Confusing: For years this was a great app, but lately I’ve been finding it confusing. Today’s daily “daily view” showed thunderstorms but the hourly details showed only showed a very low chance of rain. Tomorrow’s daily view is cloudy but the hourly details shows a very high chance of rain. If the daily view is all I have time to look at I’m going to be disappointed by your lack accuracy often.
26. [R36] 2/5 · US Icons and forecast often don’t match: Forecasts rarely accurate anymore. App is fine for radar but compare NWS forecasts today for example 60-80% chance for precip. The app mentions no chance at all? Used to be good but bought out by a new company that decreased quality of forecasts and started charging for basic use. Time to find another app.
27. [R51] 1/5 · US Downgrade: This app used to have the live weather forecast and now does not. This app now reflects vague information on the daily description that is useless.
28. [R9] 1/5 · US Location changed: I did not change my location but the app now sends weather for Lamont, FL instead of Lamar, TX. Useless. I can’t find a way to fix it.
29. [R75] 3/5 · US Wrong county!: Live in a major metropolitan county but only get alerts for the county 2 to 3 miles east of where I live. Not very useful.
30. [R114] 3/5 · US Fix notifications: Spoken notifications are great when they are accurate. Multiple notifications in the middle of the night that do not apply to current location or weather are not cool.
31. [R28] 2/5 · US Hey, anyone there?: This has been my go-to weather app for years, but now when I need to see closings & delays info, it isn't working. Is app still active or do I move to another?
32. [R47] 1/5 · US Was mediocre but got worse: I originally got this app because of the degree to which it would let you customize the alerts. However, that was iffy and when I would write to the support team, if I got an answer at all, it would be something vague about an alert type not being supported by the backend. (Take it out of the app, maybe?) Unfortunately, the app developers haven’t kept up with the times
33. [R50] 2/5 · US No weather video anymore?: Took away the weather video! Now I rarely use it. I emailed them to ask why. No answer.
34. [R12] 3/5 · US Okay. But this scares me…: I like it because it can alert but instead it does an extremely loud alert that freaks me out.
35. [R87] 4/5 · US Double alerts: The one main problem is getting multiples of the same alert.
36. [R90] 4/5 · US Woke me up for no reason: Woke me up in the middle of the night to tell me that the ocean is too cold for swimming. I had already received several notifications about that during the day. Had to turn off the notifications but now I won’t know about actual emergencies such as flooding, tornadoes, or hurricanes.
37. [R46] 1/5 · US App not working correctly: My storm shield tries to load closings but it never loads anything just keeps try. It also does not give any forecasts. It is NOT working correctly
38. [R92] 5/5 · US Dr: It’s good when it’s working, but when it quits, I have to restart my phone, which happens. It just goes blank. Nothing on it just a white screen with the country. I see no rain no radar nothing
39. [R102] 5/5 · US Not loading 4/19/25: Anybody else in Oklahoma unable to load the app today? 04/19/25
40. [R104] 5/5 · US Won’t open: App all of a sudden will not open after the update on my iPad. It opens on iPhone. Pls fix. I use this app multiple times a day. TY.
41. [R19] 1/5 · US No alert: Absolutely gave us no alert for the tornado that touched down. At least I was watching the news and heard the sirens
42. [R20] 1/5 · US No tornado alert: Once again we have tornado sirens and this app was silent. If you are looking for an app to keep you safe, this one is not it.
43. [R31] 1/5 · US Poor alerts: No alert for Oakland county for tornado warning
44. [R66] 2/5 · US Insufficient radar: Requires money grab to see future radar. During severe and dangerous weather, how is this safe?
45. [R70] 2/5 · US 1 minute forecast: Where did the 1 minute forecast video go? It’s either not working lately or was it taken off? That was my favorite feature.
