WeatherAlert - Figment, Inc.
WeatherAlert is a simple weather notification application that will display alerts for your area such as Thunderstorms, Tornadoes, Floods, etc.
WeatherAlert has been updated to provided more accurate alert information. We are aggregating information from multiple sources and displaying the most recent and accurate information available.
** PLEASE NOTE **
If your device is "jailbroken" or not officially activated, the push notifications may not work. Users of such devices should purchase at your own risk. There's nothing we can do about the device not registering for notifications properly.
***UPDATE May 24, 2011***
Sorry to the new customers who were not receiving pushes. The server was experiencing issues and they have been resolved. Pushes should resume. WeatherAlert 2.0 is almost complete which will have real-time alerts from NOAA, no more 15 minute delay. Please be patient while we get it finished. Thanks!
***UPDATE 23 MARCH 2010 ***
THE VERSION 1.5 UPDATE IS REQUIRED IF YOU'D LIKE TO CONTINUE GETTING PUSH NOTIFICATIONS. IN ADDITION TO UPGRADING YOU WILL NEED TO LAUNCH THE APP AT LEAST ONCE IN ORDER TO HAVE THE INFORMATION SAVED TO THE UPDATED DATABASE. THIS IS THE DATABASE THAT WILL BE USED FOR THE DIRECT NOAA ALERT PUSHES.
*** UPDATE 25 JANUARY 2010 ***
We are currently working with NOAA to get real-time alerts and pushing them out to users. With the current data source and server implementation it can take 30 minutes to get an alert pushed. We understand this is unacceptable and are working as quickly as possibly to get it taken care of.
******************
* If you do NOT see an alert you have selected to check for and you get it in other weather apps, first step is to check the details of the alert and make sure it has not expired. If it is not expired and you still don't see it, check the map. If it shows all of the US and not your state, your zip code isn't in our database. If this happens, please contact us ASAP at weatheralert@figmentdevelopment.com so we can resolve it.
* If you do not get alerts or push isn't working for you, please contact the help email before leaving a negative review. In a few cases the user had incorrect information entered in the app. We'll do everything we can to make the app work for you.
We are open to other suggestions. Thanks for your support.
===========
NOTE TO USERS OUTSIDE THE US:
The app is only for sale in the US App Store for a reason...the app only works in the US. Please do not leave negative reviews because you bought an app not sold in your country. The app is a US only app, therefore it only works in the US.
SETTINGS NOTE:
If you experience issues with activating push, please uninstall the app and reinstall it. This issue will be corrected shortly.
ABOUT THE REVIEW FROM US:
This was posted in v0.5, for some reason iTunes keeps changing the date and version to the most recent. This review was left after a flurry of 1-star reviews by people claiming the app was a virus and only gave error messages. The errors were due to network problems, not the app. We apologize for that review constantly appearing at the top of the review list. If anyone has any actual issues or concerns with the app, please contact us, we try to be as helpful as possible in figuring out why you aren't getting alerts or pushes. We've helped a number of people solve their problems.
*******
Price increase to $1.99 due to rising server costs. Optimization is under-way and if we can accomplish our goal of getting real-time alerts out ASAP this price may have to stick. The constant polling for alerts for users is taxing on the server resources. 2008 Figment, Inc.

Needs work Had this app for three days. Not one thunderstorm notification even though I received multiple from other apps. The email/text doesn't work either. We had three t/storms in the past few days but this app didn't see them. Deleted.

Needs better info source The app did not show a current thunderstorm watch that my area was under (nor did Wunderground, but the AccuWeather iPhone site did show it). I'm looking forward to the future push update, and it is on that promise that I give this three stars. It would be a four star app if it used NOAA or some authoritative source of info AND had push notification (I realize that push is not yet available to the developer).

Does work I have to apologize to the developer of this application. Please disregard my previous post about this application not working. The problem was with my iPod. I had to restore it, and now I am able to open the application. Although I do not have any weather alerts at this time, it does seem to be a great application!

Very useful Thank you Dave for all your help. Great communication. This application has been very useful with all of the tropical storms and hurricanes. Would love to see a time and date stamp on the alerts for when there are multiple warnings for a long period of time. Thanks again for your help.......

Intermittent Alerts This app has missed some weather alerts that the other app's I also have installed didn't. I verified that the location is correct and it still missed weather alert notices. I wound not depend on this app to provide important weather warnings. It has a 3 out of 5 success rate, meaning it missed two of the five.

Good Start Would like to be able to select as many locations as I want. Look foward to alert sounds & having the warnings/watches come up immediately without having app open...even when iPhone is in standby mode.

To the people complaining about ERROR 5 Hello, I am the developer of this application. If you are experiencing the "Error Code 5" message all you need to do is email the support address and I will respond very promptly. This app isn't a virus and doesn't crash the phone. Less than 1% of the people who have purchased the application have sent me emails with issues. When I find solutions, I fix the app, the feed, or post suggestions on the website or in the app description. I have tried to help every person that has emailed me about this problem and in most cases I get emails back saying it works. In the other cases, I get no response at all, so I assume it was fixed or they don't care. Please ask for help before calling the application a virus.

Will be best when we get push I live in an area affected by several kinds of severe weather, and the idea that I could be alerted to various advisories and warnings is very appealing. As things stand now, this application suffers from its inability to send alerts when it isn't active. Push notifications, if they ever come from Apple, will make this a really valuable addition for locations like mine. I notice the developer promises to add notification by text or email, which will be a good interim solution when that comes. I'll be watching for that change. In the meantime, I don't expect to use this much. My standard weather applications do the same thing and give me the forecast too.The application is accurate in showing the alerts in my area. And it is good to be able to choose which kinds of alerts to monitor. Hurricanes, for example, are not an issue for me.

I like it Works very well. I wish I was able to select a few different areas other than just one? This would be a great application for storm chasers who need to know about warnings. I also wish there was an alarm for high risk events ( Tornado, Severe Wx Warnings) . Hopefully in future versions? Good job!
