Worthless. Does NOT report alerts. Avoid. – AlertsPro Review

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.
