Can anyone give a direct link to this app is the app store? Frank -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Deb Lewis Sent: Wednesday, April 27, 2011 9:22 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: Accessible Weather Radio App for iOS devices
Overall, I'm very impressed with this app. It is very accessible. It does notify you when there is an alert for a city you are watching and you can watch 5 I believe. You can read or hear the warnings & forecasts. In the FAQ they tell you that you may occasionally need to close it int he App switcher & restart if it isn't ab le to get data. I've had to do that once but then all was well. Whether it's worth $10 probably depends on a variety of personal factors, but it does what it says it does & does it accessibly. So if a weather radio style app is what you want, this will probably do the trick. On 4/27/11, Mike Arrigo <[email protected]> wrote: > I actually got this app, it is very accessible.

The only way I could do this was to turn off location tracking in settings. > On Apr 27, 2011, at 5:42 PM, Shawn Krasniuk wrote: > >> Hey all.
