I received my first tornado warning on this new app. I had the Tornado App before this one. I have to say this app really needs some more changes. Plus, it did alert me of a tornado, but it was like 80 miles away. I want to get an alert for what I have it set for 15 miles, not the gray zone you have it set for. And to check where the tornado is, you have to blow the map up so big it's crazy. With the tornado app, you could touch the tornado icon and get the approximate location or address.

Worthless to be honest. This app gives me alerts for tornado watches and severe thunderstorm warnings about 30 to 45 minutes late. I'm an advanced Android user so I know how to set everything correctly, and I have a 5G ultra connect connection, this app does not do what it's supposed to do in a timely manner. Absolutely no way I would rely on this thing. Surrounded by tornado warnings yesterday and this app never told me until it was too late. Could have been BAD. FIX IT!

This app replaced the tornado app. This app is horrible. The old app would actually show a map and the warning area. This one issues a warning but doesn't even tell location. I had one go off early this morning and wasn't even for my location. I live in an area with no sirens. So I need something that is accurate. This is not it. Reactivate the original app.
