MyWARN App Reviews

Application opens, but doesnt work at all ...

Not Working cannot set location, or notifications.

Apparently this app has stopped working. I have had the app since shortly after it became available. Then a little more than a year ago it just stopped working. I contacted the developer (well know in the Birmingham, Alabama area) and he said an upgrade would be coming out to address all of the problems. Didnt happen and never heard anything again.

No warnings displayed when free weather channel app is showing them. Not ready for prime time even for free... Update: jan7 2017...contact us returned as no address. No support and App is not functional.

Ive had this about 10 days and today was the first time weve had a warning. It worked great and showed me exactly what I needed. I live near the intersection of 3 counties so the regular warning system (alerts by county) are useless to me. This does what they cant. Thanks!

This is a must have! Even if you do not have a weather radio, this app keeps you informed well ahead of time.

This is a great ap. I love it at night. It just woke me up when our area went under tornado warning. Worth $10!!

Great notifications with this app. I was in the middle of a call and heard a "beep" notifying me that a tornado watch was just issued in my area. I recommend that you keep your device charged and OFF VIBRATE during these situations so you can get an audible alert, like when youre asleep. If anything, the only improvement I would suggest is for audible alerts when you have your device switched on vibrate only. Thanks for a great app!

Unfortunately, I got the opportunity to try out this app here in OK last night. The forecasts were right on with the tv stations. I may not have figured this out yet but I wish it had a little more noticeable alert or the alert go off more than once so it would be sure to wake us during the night.

Love this technology! As a retired USAF Weather Squadron Commander, I sure wish I had this then. Instantaneous updates keep me aware of severe weather threats wherever I am with my phone. Not a lot of nasty weather here in E Tenn, but glad to know Ill be notified when the threat exists. Thanks!

Two things that are needed: 1). The alarm needs to sound multiple times. A user acknowledgement would be nice. 2). The alarm should override the phones mute option. If the phone it set to vibrate you would never notice the alarm.

Just had severe weather a few days ago and this app performed perfect. I got watches and warnings before tv announced it but only for my general area. I wasnt bothered by the ones that were on the other side of the county. I havent noticed much less battery life using this app either. Maybe 5% more over a day than without it which is not bad.

The warning sounds were louder. Its a great program. Ive only been using it about a week and its gotten a real workout since weve had the potential for severe weather including tornado activity over the past several days. I had my iPod sitting on my desk next to me so I could hear the various warning tones, but they were so soft id have never heard them if my iPod had been in my handbag or briefcase. And it certainly wouldnt wake me from a sound sleep. I have the volume at the highest level so this isnt operator error. I have another weather app that screams at me--it would wake the dead. Unfortunately, that app isnt as precise so Im getting warnings I dont need. MyWarn is exactly what it says it is. But the warning sounds need to be louder and distinct.

For such an expensive app, you would think it would at least have a radar view (which you can get with even the free weather apps). No information is given with the warnings. If you want, you can scroll through the national weather service posting on the app for about 10 minutes to see if you can find something useful (goodluck.itsprettyhardtoreadwithnospaces). No way to see when a storm is coming, how bad it will be, how long it will last. Just "There is a risk of severe weather in your area in the next 11 hours." I get the notifications ALL the time and rarely see the storm. And as a matter of fact, its pouring rain at my house right now and havent gotten a warning. USELESS! The free apps are way better.

Just had a severe thunderstorm hit my town. Did not know I was under a severe thunderstorm warning until it actually hit and I pulled my phone out to look at the radar. The my warn app had a notification on my phone screen but I never heard the alarm. The alarm needs to be loud and it needs to sound until disabled. The geo terrestrial app ( no longer available) would do just that and you could even set different alarms for different warnings.

MyWarn performs as advertised, and the follow up information is faster than the other radio, and telephone weather apps. Followup means, MyWarn informs the subscriber when the threat of whatever the severe weather happens to be, is no longer applicable. If your location is in the polygon, even at the extreme limits of said polygon, your location is pinpointed, and the current threat is valid. You receive current, specific, and personal information immediately, and as long as your personal survival situation is at risk. MyWarn is personal, very personal for you, and for those for whom you are responsible. For the information received, and the protection afforded, the price should be twice as much.

I havent seen anything that makes this worth the cost. Its really useless to have an app that gives me as much information as I can get looking out the window. It would be useful if it was synced to local tornado sirens and alerted you of when they were going off. All I have seen is a little message that pops up and lets me know of a general area announcement. Save your money and get the weather channel app.

This is one of two weather apps that has a place right on my homescreen. Its a simple, elegant tool for quickly getting targeted weather warnings, watches, and similar information. Im something of a weather geek, and still get information from this app that I wouldnt have caught otherwise (like waking up, forgetting to check the SPC site, but having MyWarn alert me that Im under a risk of severe storms for the day). The information displayed seems minimal, but it can lead to more information, and for its intended purpose--warning you of severe weather--its spot-on. The developer is super responsive, and already ahead of the game when it comes to improvements/new features--when I sent in a list of four ideas, it turned out all of them were already in-the-works, and were deployed a few weeks later! In an app store full of me-too weather console apps, this one stands out as one of the few weather apps that offers something new and really useful. It is also the *only* location-based warning app that Ive tried that consistently warns you, every time.

This is the best app ever! It even shows the local news station! I live in Birmingham, AL witch is the place where MyWARN is located and where James Spann is so I get the abc 33/40 weather radar on it, THE ONLY CON IS THAT IT NEEDS TO HAVE A iPad FORMAT but it is still the best app!

After I downloaded the program I realized it does not inform you of weather forecast as far as weather Temp Etc. I had to install weather bug and it gave me a lot more detail on the weather etc.......but it does not give a beeping tone to warn me of any bad weather in the area. Thanks Leo
