Great app
Heavy Lunch
It does what it says and does it well. It keeps me informed and up to date on the weather at locations I need that information.
Worthless. Does NOT report alerts. Avoid.

I'm a huge weather buff and have myriad weather apps on my iPhone 6 Plus. Unfortunately, AlertsPro is the first one I've paid for that does NOTHING but look pretty. Winter weather advisories--in the form of snow or bitter wind chills--are missed, while every other app (Wunderground, WeatherBug, eWeather HD and about 6 others) works as advertised. A letter to support, complete with screen shots clearly showing the issue, was returned but with lousy English and no further insight into why the app fails to issue alerts. A weather alert app (that I paid for!) that doesn't issue alerts? Ridiculous. Shame on you MeteoGroup. I also paid for MeteoEarth (another one of your apps) and it's brilliant. AlertsPro, on the other hand, it worthless and should be pulled from the App Store. UPDATE (2/19/2015): Support contacted me and advised that although their app uses weather alerts issued by NOAA's National Weather Service (NWS), winter weather and wind chill advisories are not among those reported by AlertsPro. I find that ridiculous for two reasons: 1) AlertsPro has a rather generic "Weather Alert" badge among its available alerts. At the very least, they could have AlertPro use that classification, however nondescript, to let users know SOMETHING caught the eye of NWS officials. As is, a wind chill of -30 Fahrenheit and lower--a dangerous phenomenon for a host of reasons--is simply ignored. 2) If AlertPro were simply another weather app--you know, provides current conditions, a multi-day forecast, RADAR renderings, etc.--then OK...not including every possible alert, including "freezing spray" warnings on Lake Superior and/or other rarely used oddities among NWS' playbook, would be reasonable. But given this app's sole function is issuing alerts related to environmental phenomena, simply ignoring alerts MeteoGroup apparently doesn't consider important does NOT preclude the importance of those alerts to others. Besides, I suspect any MeteoGroup employee stuck out in the -41 degree Fahrenheit (ambient) temperature logged in Embarrass, Minnesota (USA) last night would likely realize ignoring wind chill advisories is a wholly silly (i.e., stupid!) oversight. Again...avoid this app. It's not worthy of your money.
Locations are way off

The app does report weather pretty ok, however the locations are rather arbitrary. The app reports me in a location 8 miles away, in a small community 1/10th of the size of the town where I live. It's only an irritation, however the home location cannot be set manually.
Checking it out
Somps
I'm still checking it out but 2 things 1. The comment about the dev not being very good with English... So what! Do you speak every language perfectly? I'm sick of hearing people complain about someone not speaking English good enough. Pompous **** 2. Cold weather is important, but do you really need an alert for that? Doesn't a 5 day or even 10 day forecast show you it in advance already? A rabid dog is out on the loose is something to alert about. A mad snail attack probably isn't going to make the alert system go bonkers. ****Update**** I'll visit back after I've seen the app more. Sorry, but roasting the devs on their English got me a bit riled. ****Update**** Can't zoom in enough on the maps. Need to purchase premium to really use a lot of the features. Many of the free apps will show you the past hour of activity on the map, but this one needs the premium. Not as important but would be nice. If you tap on a warning and it shows you the map, it will not allow you to zoom in or out unless you purchase the premium. All in all, I'll stick with my other apps. Hurricane tracker gives me what I need.
Nice app
Not-here-not-here
I like the app...it's easy to use and contains accurate information. I wish the map features came with the app without having to pay for upgrade though. Zoom in function would have been nice. Other than that, love it!
