Loss of alerting functions – NOAA Weather Alerts Review

This app used to fill a niche no other app could touch - you could set the distance that once a weather alert fell within this distance, this app would push a notice to you. It was great especially when traveling, eg. it could tell you there was a severe storm ahead 20, 30, 50 miles or any distance away if you were driving towards it. This allowed you to avoid the storm. Unfortunately this developer dropped this app’s best and most useful feature. Now, it’s just like most other weather apps that give you the basics. It does have a weather alert map but it loads slower than other app’s alert maps. Also, when you move the map around, it has to constantly reload the alerts on the map... slowly. I used to feel this was one of the best weather apps for home and traveling due to its alerting capabilities but now it’s just a second rate weather app with nothing special.
