User Reviews for NOAA Weather Radio

Best Weather App Ever! Just two things...

This app tells the weather and when there’s severe weather in the area I check it immediately and it tells me what’s going on, plus, I can listen to the weather radio too. I love that! And it shows what’s going in the whole world plus it shows the radar for the area! The only thing I don’t like about it is that I have some weather radios and I compare it to the weather narrater and it is not synced with the narrater talking, which means it is not live. Next thing is that when I got the app, it was doing the notifications just fine. But now it started to give me some notifications but not all. I have all alerts checked and active, but I don’t know why it started doing that. If you set those to the side, I love this app so much, thank you creator for making this app I love it!

Ajs-Trussville Alabama

I have always enjoyed listening to NOAA Weather Radio. Especially when my family and I lived in Dallas Texas in 1978-‘79! My Granddad, on dad’s side of the family, had this: 4”W x 4”D x 4”T square Radio Shack™️ battery powered weather radio with a switch underneath it for good (or) better reception mode, a telescoping 12” antenna, volume knob and long white on/off bar across the top side. Anyhow, I’m 55 years old now, but back in the 1960’s & 70’s NOAA Weather Radio Stations were ‘staffed’ with live, male, broadcasters..call me a geek...but their voices could put an elephant to sleep. The broadcaster’s voice is “computer animated” these day’s and new (Radio Shack™️) NOAA Weather Radio’s are all but impossible to come by these days, but, thank the ‘Higher Powers’ that be that there’s the NOAA Weather Radio “app” that’s still available from “An” App Store 🏬 to that’s available to use ‘with’ (or) ‘without’ an “Old~Timmie” - NOAA Weather Radio!

This is the one!

I’ve been trying to find a free and easy way to listen to weather radio in Hawaii. You would think that, in this day and age, our government would provide a simple web link that you could click on, bookmark and return to easily that would play your local weather radio station. But no. Millions of tax dollars cannot figure that out. So I finally I decided to spring for this $3.99 app after failing to find a website or free app that does the job. (There used to be a free one that worked about 60% of the time but I can’t find it again). This one works 100% of the time, remembers my location and my favorite station and opens right to it when I want to listen. It even plays nicely in the background with other apps while I read email, the news, check the waves, etc. It also plays nicely with the iPhone timer app and stops playing after a set period of time. Love that robot voice to doze off to. Anyway, highly recommended, at least for my purposes. Aloha.

Great feature for the price

This app allows you to to get a live stream of any NOAA Weather Radio in the US, plus some Canada and tropical radio feeds as well. It also allows you to receive weather alerts that you customize for your specific county or other location of interest. Here is the only thing I wish there was a workaround for: Part of why I purchased this app is so I can have it wake me up if there is severe weather or flash flooding at night. I typically turn my phone on airplane mode when I go to sleep, and it doesn’t look like alerts will come through when the phone is on airplane mode. So, on nights where there is severe weather or flooding expected, it looks like I will need to keep my phone off of airplane mode, but then will also need to temporarily turn other notifications for email, texts, and phone calls off so that if there is a severe weather warning at night, it can wake me up and I don’t have to worry about text messages waking me up! Also, you have the option of paying an additional 99 cents as an in-app purchase for additional information on the products issued by the NWS/SPC for your area, which is very helpful.

More reliable than “real” radio

Weather radio is still a super easy and reliable way to get important weather information quickly, particularly when you don’t want or can’t be glued to your screen. This app lets you hear the radio if you have data, which is more reliable than radio signals these days. It also allows you to see the 7 day forecast, see the current weather stats, read warning information, and generally streamlines information that can be challenging to dig out of the NOAA website. This is an app that does exactly what it claims to, and does it very well. The only thing that holds me back from a 5 star rating is the lack of a way to pay to fully upgrade the app in one purchase. I don’t mind paying for additional features, they’re worth it and the developer needs to make a living like the rest of us. I just appreciate being able to do so 1x when possible, as opposed to when new features are added.

Stay safe with this app

I downloaded this per the advice of our local weatherman, who is nothing short of a local legend after 24+ hours solid reporting during the Tuscaloosa tornado of April 28, 2011, a day I will never forget!!No matter how tech savvy you may or may not be, this app will work for you. It's very intuitive, and has lots of information with networks that span the entire nation, yet deliver accurate and timely local weather. I have alarms set for my location, as well as those of my children, and other relatives who are scattered across the country. The warnings wake me up before any other communication stream. I find the app to be more reliable and user friendly than my NOAA weather radio. All this, and I am using the free version! If you are worried, as I am, about your cell dying during a weather disaster, just keep a few power banks continuously charged..... you need them anyway. Don't wait.... if I can use this app, so can you.

Eh, well, the radio voice is the same, I guess

I got this app for the purpose of having the NOAA radio weather at my fingertips whenever I wanted it. Recently I’ve owned an emergency crank radio which had NOAA weather on it and I love having the computer-generated voice reciting the forecast - for some reason I find it immensely soothing. Listening to that voice tell me the weather for my area (or, more specifically, the area in which I may be in at any given moment in time) is something I find both useful and pleasing to my ears. Within a few minutes of paying for and downloading this app I began to look around at the radio stations in my region and of the dozen or so stations “available” in my region only two of them delivered on a forecast and one was for a location on the other side of the country! Since I am writing this review during a pandemic and everything is slow to change (or slow to be fixed if it is broken or not working properly) I will hunker down with this app and give it time to start working the way I want it to work. If it does not start to work correctly, however, my review could change.

Very Useful App

Like the app overall. A lot of different ‘views’ to find current wx conditions most anywhere. Nicely customizable for a number of views. Good access to many types of major wx maps and data in one place for quick access, once you’ve familiarized yourself with the different view options. My only complaint, and there is probably a good reason, but for most states the wx radio stations are non-functional, off-line, or have some issue. Is this because of budgetary probs in NOAA and NWS, or some problem with maintaining an active link with the app? Personally, I would rather only see viable, live stations so that if I want to get important, quick synopsis, I can depend on selecting an actively reporting station rather than hunting and hoping the one I select is on-line. In an emergency, eminent Wx situation, seconds lost in getting information could mean dire consequences.

MAKES ANY WEATHER SITUATION SAFER!

I’ve had this app for at least 4-5 years and I keep a certain set (3) counties with push notifications turned on for various categories but specifically for Tornado Watches & Warmings because I live in Tornado Alley... Thanks to the early alerts I received from this app & all the updates, we stayed safe on several close call situations; such as the recent 2020 Tornado that destroyed a lot of our county & surrounding counties & the same thing that happened when we had a F5 Tornado April 27, 2011... it was terrible... But this app kept me up to date and sent me watches & warnings with details so I knew more what to expect. Good thing cause of electricity went out and if I hadn’t had my phone with this app & alerts, I’m not sure if things would have turned out the same for my family & I.

Irma

Here is my story,I downloaded this app in anticipation for Hurricane Irma. I went to use the app and it was locked in to the loading screen, I thought this meant it would work in a time of need. Once we lost power and the storm was ramping up to its worst, I opened the app and waited 1 min for it to connect to a radio in my area. No luck, I figured I would try again when I received power. When I did get power same issue occurred. We faired ok and I downloaded my local news app. We used it for the next 2 days (day of storm and luckily the 23.5 hours of no power.) I reached out to the Noaa people to notify them of my troubles and ask for a refund if $4.99. I am not a fan of paying for apps unless it is a necessity. This seemed critical so I forked over the $5 for an app that I would use possibly once a year. When asking for a refund Chris (the CEO) asked what I experienced and what channel was having issues. He responded that his team would be working to fix the issue. Although that is kind I would still like a refund and responded this. I have not heard from him in roughly 2 weeks. At the end of the day if the app had worked when and how it was supposed to then I would not mind the $5 being spent. The fact that I used a free local news weather app and it did a significantly better job is frustrating. I would rather donate the $5 to them then spend it on this app.
