Hi, Actually, the a Google search showed that the Imap Weather Radio developers plan to offer app free to the first 100,000 downloaders on May 19th. Here's an excerpt from the Alabama Weather Blog site: <begin quote> Great news… the makers of the iMap WeatherRadio iPhone app have decided to make it free for one day, Thursday, May 19. The app is normally $9.99… and ABC 33/40 is a partner. Here is their news release this evening…
The tragic events caused by tornadoes this month in Alabama and the South have shown again the need for enhanced and additional approaches to nationwide alerting of tornado and severe weather outbreaks. With advanced warnings on smartphones using Location-Based Services, people that are in harm’s way can be alerted even if they are not sitting in front of a television or in a location where they can hear sirens. This may allow those affected to react in time to avoid loss of life and property. iMapWeather Radio Free for a Day! * What is “Weather Radio Day”? WDT is offering the iMapWeather Radio iPhone application free to up to 100,000 people for one day only – the equivalent of a $1M contribution to weather safety nationwide (iTunes download is normally $9.99). * Find out how you can help by offering and promoting Weather Radio Day and this free application all day on May 19th, either with or without your brand associated. * With iMapWeather Radio, your viewers receive potentially life-saving, precise weather alerts on their smartphone, free for a lifetime. This free offer is not a “lite” version and there are no gimmicks involved. We are truly trying to help save lives. <end quote> Cheers, Esther On May 10, 2011, at 19:04, Esther wrote: > Hi Kevin, > > On May 10, 2011, at 18:38, Kevin Chao wrote: > >> It's not free, it's $9.99 >> >> Sent from my iPad > > What Sarai said in her post (below my sig) was that the Imap Weather Radio > app would be offered as a free download on May 19, 2011, and she referenced > the main Imap Weather Radio site where there is a note that it would be > offered as a free download for 1-day only, and that you would save $9.99 if > you download it on that 1 day.
