Fine

It only alerts you for flash flood warnings, severe thunderstorm warnings, and tornado warnings. Not worth $12.

Please Update

I love your app and it really comes in handy where I live where there are no tornado sirens but I have been waiting for awhile for you to update for the larger iPhone 5 screen now. I still use it on severe weather days and it works perfectly, in fact my area in under a severe weather threat tomorrow night (yikes!). But the black bars are starting to become a bit of a nuisance. Other than that, excellent app, thank you.

Not worth 12.99

I want my money back! You can get better alerts from The Weather Channel. I agree this is a rip off. Dont waste your money! This is the first time I have paid this much money for an app and I am so mad! To whoever is in charge of refunds I want my money back! I dont want to rate it one star but its making me rate it before it will post my comment!

Terrible - Completely Useless

I traveled to Central Alabama for Christmas. As some may know, Christmas Day 2012 had a tornado outbreak. Because of James Spanns recommendation, I purchased this app in anticipation of the bad weather (especially since I was traveling). The app is terrible! It never could find my location, drained my battery, would shut down as soon as I opened it, and worst of all - it did not provide any warning! We were under a PDS watch and the app never warned me. We were under multiple severe thunderstorm and one tornado warning - and the app never warned me! Basically I spend $13 on nothing! The concept of the app is excellent, but it needs serious improvements. Im more surprised and disappointed that an app endorsed by James Spann was so terrible and provided absolutely no warning.

Great App

Great app in the fact it is very simplistic and informational at the same time. Even when traveling I am covered.

Constantly uses GPS

Ever since I downloaded the app, my GPS indicator stays on... Not pleased at all for a $12 app.

Excellent App!

Excellent customer service!! BUY THIS APP!!! How much is your life worth... More than the cost of this app, which will help protect and preserve your life!

I love this app

Beats NOAA radio with its selectable pinpoint alerts. Where I live the radio is constantly going off with every type of threat. With MyWARN I dont need to be woken up about a flood watch for a river thats ten miles away.

Does not work a waste of money

It just does not work.

Love this app.

Only iOS app that gives you actual weather warnings. Ive been using it for a year, only real issue I have is that there isnt a true iPad.

Well......

Im sure that app works great. However if its capable if the alerts it is capable of it should have the ability to select or selectable all of the nws alerts not just the three it does. Also I do not like the price of the app for what you get and also please update this so my location icon is not on ALL THE TIME.

Does well, but 2 big problems

Does what is is supposed to do. Bit its way too expensive at $9.99. Plus it keeps GPS on at all times and there is no way to disable that even temporarily. I wouldnt mind the battery drain on days of threatening weather but it is a problem on all other days. So, I have taken to uninstalling the app and then reinstalling when the weather is bad. Not an elegant solution.

Oh Yes It Works!

Having grown up in Joplin, MO, we are very sensitive to severe weather results. Now we live in North Texas and are thankful for this app. It is far more accurate that any other device, local media folks, and so-called weather radios. it remembers your last location, and rapidly pinpoints you when you turn on Location Services. It DOES NOT cry "wolf." Managing battery life is the least we can do as users to make certain that we are alert. Last night, after the Granbury/Cleburne Texas tornadoes, we thought our area was "out of danger." MyWarn alerted us that tornado circulation was detected and the warning box encompassed our home. MyWarn hit us first with the alert before the live CBS TV station finally came up with the circulation map. We had sufficient time to get to the storm shelter and wait out the potential threat. Later, MyWarn also told us that the threat had passed. If you can only afford one application, get this one. It really works!

Location service is draining my battery

I like the app. Just wish there was a way the location services would remain off unless of a threat. As of right now I have to keep location services for this app off manually all the time until a fix is pushed out to the users.

Not worth the money

It worked fine for a while but now it crashes whenever I open the app.

Excellent!

Great weather app! Warns me when Im in an area where there are severe weather watches or warnings. Does exactly what it says. You can even increase the precision of your location when youre traveling or when the weather is changing rapidly.

Warnings keep going off for another location

Several warnings have gone off this morning, and its perfectly clear outside. When I actually pull the app up, there are no warnings posted. Alarms keep saying were under tornado watch, but nothing shows when app is open. Ive tried to reset location, but it wont reset. Waste of money.

Average

Itll do in a pinch, but definitely not worth the $10 I paid for it.

Overpriced

Does what it says, but badly overpriced. Only warnings are for flash flood, severe thunderstorm, and tornado. Drains battery, cannot set a location.

Does not work

Purchased, downloaded, installed on iPhone. The app will not even open. Tap the app and it breifly shows a field to populate and then closes. What a waste of money.
