1. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

   Never works. On a scanner Chicago station is always available. But never working in this app. Message says they are working on it. For three years so far.

2. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

   Deleted-NOT NWS. Deleted app. Best to get a REAL NOAA radio, or a link to an official .gov source, rather than to entrust our data to an app that is run by a private individual.

3. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

   No channels for Alaska even though we do have one. This app is severely disappointing how they continue to exclude the Alaska stations! we have stations but everyone acts like we are non existent or frickin Antarctica! We are part of the USA people!

4. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

   Disappointed. I have had this app for over 3 years and the city that I live in has never been available for weather radio, despite being listed as a city that I can connect to. I have reached out several times with no response.

5. ★★★★★alerts fail both ways - silent on a real threat, screaming over nothing - so the user mutes…

   Not Safe. After purchasing and downloading the app, I found that my home county was not covered. I contacted the developer about this but did not receive a response. I missed a tornado warning because of this as well which could have been very dangerous since this is being marketed as a NOAA Weather Radio APP.

6. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

   Local feed don’t work. Milwaukee station still does not work in here. Bern several months now. And not NOAA cause I have contacted them. Useless for a paid service.

7. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

   JP Mummy. OPPS. Paid. Not 1 local NOAA channel works and I’m in the Chicago suburbs. NEED A REFUND!

8. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

   Terrible app. This thing does not work as advertised. Do not use as an emergency notification device, you’ll be sorry.

9. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

   Not synched with reality. None of the Iowa satiations are actually in Iowa. Cedar Rapids appears to be the Alabama feed. Other Iowa stations are not broadcasting Iowa info.

10. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Poor app. Purchased this app to listen to Rockford weather. Will not load the channel ever. Would not recommend.

11. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Wasted my $. The station I want to listen to is always offline

12. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Bad. In my state a majority of the NOAA weather radio stations are offline (oops). Also other data types missing as well. Don’t waste your money!

13. ★★★★★support does not respond or resolve the issue

    Add on does not work, no response from developer. The program generally works ok. purchased the add-on radar plus. It does not function. I reached out to the developer twice with no response. It was two dollars so not a big financial hit. It just irks me that I can’t get this rectified because I think it would be helpful if it worked. Not happy.

14. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Error loading my station. I downloaded this to get live updates on tornado activity in the Nashville area and the Nashville weather station was unavailable the entire time. I find this to be a waste of a purchase. I bought a radio with NOAA stations instead.

15. ★★★★★a needed feature is missing

    Useless. You have to pay to try the app. Luckily it’s just $2.99. All of the stations in my state say they’re either offline or just show the spinning wheel of despair. I should have noticed that the app hasn’t been updated for two years. Buyer beware, indeed.

16. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    DOES NOT WORK. I have tried this app multiple times and I have never once gotten it to actually connect to the local NOAA feed. BUYER BEWARE!

17. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Terrible. Way too many errors and INACTIVE channels. App needs updates and a major overhaul!

18. ★★★★★excessive or broken notifications

    Pretty disappointing. I was excited about this app, and I will add that we are currently experiencing bad weather, but my city keeps going offline in the app with a message saying that it’s offline constantly. When it does work, there is so much static that I can barely understand the alerts. It’s also incredibly annoying to listen to when you’re already nervous about bad weather. I get that we are having bad weather and that probably is the cause, however, that’s exactly what the app is for. What’s the point if it doesn’t work when you have bad weather? Great idea. Not functional for me at least and certainly not worth 5$.

19. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    Not working for ga. Paid $5 for this app for it only to work in Atlanta ga. The other one I live in in ga isn’t working still.

20. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    DON’T WASTE YOUR MONEY!!!. Waited & waited & it won’t connect 😢

21. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Not worth even $0.01. The NOAA radio does not work for my area. I notified support and got no response. Don’t waste your time or space on your device.

22. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    Odell is down. Odell Illinois is the closest to us and they are down. We had severe thunderstorms and sirens going off for a tornado, could not get the information we needed. I paid $4.99 for this useless app. Sure wish I could get a refund.

23. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Don’t get. Waste of money. Radio never connects

24. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Constantly gives me an error. Waste of money

25. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Radio won’t work and No Help from email request. What a waste of money! I have an ancient Radio Shack NOAA weather cube that works great . Bought this NOAA app and the weather radio does NOT connect ?!?! What a ripoff and waste of money. What should I expect from a Government Operation ?

26. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Out of 14 NC stations, only 1 works. Of the 14 radio weather stations in the North Carolina, only 1 is working on this app and that one is 300 miles from my location. This has been the case for years. Clearly, the developer has abandoned this app. DO NOT BUY.

27. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    Broken App. Every weather radio is off line? Weather station is broadcasting just fine from my standalone radio, but the app says it’s offline. I don’t have time for this nonsense. I am requesting a refund from apple.

28. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    doesn’t get my area. sent email to Support about a week ago. No response

29. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Didn’t work. Tornadoes all around. Bought the app, nothing. Ended up using my old battery operated weather radio.

30. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Garbage app. Bought this app for the radio. It doesn’t work none of the stations will connect. Don’t waste your money it’s garbage.
