Get your family and home ready for a tornado. The American Red Cross tornado app is the complete solution you need to understand and prepare for a tornado and all that comes with it. With ...
It keeps giving me error message when I try to tweet out an alert It wont connect well with Twitter        Twitter sharing
I live in a major metropolitan area and this app doesnt even cover us The entire metro area If I thought this would warn me Id interested but there nothing about our city here Weather station for us is Pleasant HillKansas City Mo its pretty much useless for me     No Coverage at all
This is well prepared It is used to prepare the user for the day that you would have a Tornado                 TORNADO BY AMERICAN RED CROSS
Frustrated because I keep getting alerts for the Denver area I dont live there and its annoying to get tornado watch alerts for the wrong area I deleted and installed the app didnt make a difference I have turned location services off and am only monitoring the zip codecounty in which I reside and that hasnt helped either It also did not alert me to the flash flood warnings for my area that I heard about by other means Maybe time to delete     Alerts for a different time zone
Worked fine for awhile now will just shut down If it keeps this up I will delete this app     Doesnt work Cuts off
Great app                 Love it
WarningsAlerts are coming through up to 4 hrs after storms There is no way to delete them Very annoying Weather Channel app Weatherbug work better Concept is great just needs some work        Tired of delayed alerts
This app has become unusable It desperately needs an update     Broadly 765
This app seems like a brilliant idea but it crashes and closes after about 15 seconds My phone software is up to date I have plenty of memory available and I have reinstalled the app twice to no avail The functionality looks amazing if I could get it to work properly At this time however Im not sure how a glitchy app is going to help me during a storm           Its a good idea
I like what I see here to help and prepare us and hope I never have to be a part of one              Good app
I like this app a lot You can never have enough safe guard for you and your family                 Very useful app
Not timely at all Get a weather radio        Too late
I just now received an alert that was issued 25 hours ago Ive no idea if a thunderstorm warning gets the same priority as a tornado warning but at best case if this were a tornado warning I cannot count on this app Worst case Id be dead HOURS after the alert Its 2015 This is way past unacceptable especially for an app called TORNADO     25 hours later
I travel back and fort between FL NC and NJ I use this to keep track of my places enroute and always have the alters on to make sure I am notified of an upcoming event The siren will rock you out of a deep sleep so that is a blessing                 Cant do without it
Its ok gives alerts to severe weather like its suppose to However getting the 5th alert for the same severe weather announcement when the alert has expired over an hour ago is getting really annoying Ive gotten so used to ignoring alerts Im afraid Ill miss an actual realtime warning Im deleting this app and finding another one        Continuously gives expired alerts
I love this app My phone iPhone is supposed to give me alerts but it isnt as reliable as this app The only reason I gave 4 stars instead of 5 is that the regular notification sound like for thunderstorms is too quiet unless I have my volume up I would prefer it go by the level of my ringer              Wonderful to have
Weather maps are useless as they do not provide radar info or map out warning areas This app needs an overhaul        Inaccurate Slow
Ive had this app for a year Saw a tornado warning on the news but this app didnt do a thing No warnings chimes anything I opened the app and saw a warning from 2 days ago Never received any notice for that either Checked my settings to see if I had turned off notifications or sounds but they all looked fine So it appears the app does not work     Doesnt send warnings
When it works its great More often than not though alerts either dont happen at all or they arrive hours after the actual watch or warning period has ended Knowing there was a tornado or storm warning 3 hours ago is pointless Twitter can buzz my phone the instant Beyoncé is trending so clearly someone there knows what theyre doing As soon as they release their weather alert app Twetter Ill uninstall this one Until then Ill keep Tornado for the one time in 3 that it works        Better than nothing
This app sends me warnings an hour after theyve ended Not helpful in an emergency at all     Bad timing
Crappy Alarms are for hundreds of miles around specified area and arrive only minutes apart Expired alerts are not removed for weeks after expiration     Waste of time
Good app but needs work Still have alerts from a month ago And false alerts when there isnt any           Update
It like using the app but at times it freezes up for no apparent reason Seems there are things in her that really dont need to be here for this app and the information it should supply              Good just need a few tweaks
Notification by this App took 1 hour 5 minutes to get to us of a severe thunderstorm warning Unacceptable        Historical
This app is good for education however the weather alerts are often delayed by many minutes or even hours     Delays alerts
Its good to have this app                 Good to have
My area had a tornado warning a few weeks ago still has the badge warning popping up cant figure out how to get rid of it           Get rid of warning
Good app for warning about storms where you are Weather map doesnt work on my iPhone 5c              Map
This app has helped keep me informed 100 of the time I feel safe knowing that I have this on my phone I think everyone needs this even if they dont think they do                 LOVE IT
At first this app was working great but in the past week or so it has been giving me alerts and when I go into the app to view the alert all it gives me is the following No active alerts at the moment     Problematic app
Mine keeps saying tornado warning Take shelter now so when I go to click on the app it doesnt even show the notification that shows up on my lock screen or the banner It keeps freaking me out So I just keep the tv on news TV doesnt even say theres any warning this darn thing is going to give me a heart attack        Heart attacks false alarms
Need a way to edit expired warningsmust be an oversightplease fix           Update needed
The headline says it all        Too Many Needless Alerts
Im running iOS 84 and this program always crashes seconds after starting Thumbs down     iPhone 5s not stable
This used to be a great app but now it shuts down and closes before you can read the weather alert details Also the location isnt always accurate This app needs to be fixed     Unreliable
Cant remove old notifications           Just ok
First THIS APP IS NOT RELIABLE IN AN EMERGENCY SITUATION I will elaborate below on whats good about Tornado and whats bad about it Im a trained spotter for the NWS so I have a phone loaded with weather apps The bad At least six different servicesapps alert me when a weather alert is issued for my area Tornado is not only always the last app to alert me it is often delayed by 2 HOURS OR MORE It also for no particular reason sends me alerts for warnings that dont affect any of my selected locations The good Tornado is quite educational enough that I would recommend downloading it solely for the purpose of learning about the weather It has easytoread articles with corresponding tests so you can discover how much of a weather buff you truly are In summary I would recommend downloading this app for the educational aspect but be aware that a very key featurealertingmight not be fully operational              Seems comprehensive at first but
I use this app to keep track of severe weather not only for my own area but also for my parents and inlaws With elderly parents its always nice to keep track of the weather in their area just in case theyre not aware The siren alert works really well sounds just like the one in my neighborhood The only drawback I have found is that you cant delete alerts that have been sent to you However in a way it is probably a safety issue to keep the old posts Eventually they do go away I currently have nine old posts that have expired over the last week              Handy App
This app is awesome thanks for it                 Tornado for American Red Croos
I get lots of alerts Lots For two states away I have yet to get a local one although I set this for my local area and Ive had it a couple months     Disappointed
I think in principle this app is a good idea It needs some solid makeovers though Nice user interface but crashes after 40 seconds That doesnt sound so useful Earlier versions didnt crash but swamped you with nearly identical alarms every 5 minutes Thats not useful either just to hear that heavy rainfall was now from 805 till 849 rather than from 802 till 853     Looks like a nice UI before it crashes
The weather map is not reliable Sometimes it shows weather conditions such as rain and other times it does not show any weather or tornado watches and warnings even when other weather apps are showing lots of rain clouds tornado watches high wind activity etc Also old warnings linger for weeks This app cannot be trusted        Cannot be trusted updated review
It has always worked great but lately it has not been sending alerts for thunderstorms as in the past           Tornado AP
I removed several locations but I continue to receive alerts for these places How do I remove old alerts Directions need to be on page one        Difficult
The intent of the warning app is excellent At times however there seems to be an unusually long delay between when NWS activates their notice and when the ARC sends the notice to subscribers              Tornado App
If you have alerts for multiple places it is a bit annoying to have to search through to see which location the alert is for it would be really helpful to have the location in the title of the alert           Location in title would be helpful
Excellent service I watch a lot of my friends locations as well as my location                 Tornado
This app gives you the knowledge and information needed A good app                 Knowledge
The Thunderstorm and Tornado warnings have been accurate and reliable for me However it requests a permission to always query the GPS for my location If I allow this I found that it will make my navigation apps Apple Maps Google Maps and Here Maps struggle to find my current location I think they compete with the Tornado app for the right to use GPS As consequence I have blocked Tornados access to my GPS           It provides reliable warnings but it may lock up GPS
Runs late about two hours I appreciate it lets me know but it wouldnt save me from harm     Wanda
