Hi all: I've received questions about the above application, so thought I'd write a review of the application. Unfortunately, I had use of it yesterday. I'm running an iPhone 4, iOS 4.3. Imap Weather Radio is an accessible weather radio application, which can be configured to alert you to any weather event of your choosing. It wil use your GPS to send alerts where ever you are. You can also set the app to alert for 5 locations based on zip, city, state, airport code, etc. Unlike other radio apps which happen to have weather radio stations, Imap wakes up your iOS device, sounds an alarm, and will send audio, and text alerts. From experience, it works, and will send the alerts at the same time as a Midland NOA Weather Radio. Fortunately, there isn't a delay in notifications, wich was one of my concerns with push notification. It was comforting to have this application when I lost all power due to yesterday's storms. The app does activate location tracking, and surprisingly, it doesn't cause to much of a battery drain. Last night, I had Imap, as well as several other apps pushing data pretty hard to my phone. At 5 P.M, I unplugged the phone at 100% battery power. Around 10 P.M. I was down to 49%; that was with a constant stream of data being pushed. Today, I started at 82% at 8 A.M. and I was at 70 % at 6 P.M. This was on a calm day with normal phone use. Not bad, IMO. The app is definitely worth the $9.95. I hope this review helps.
