Agreed about local radio, but will say no more about that here. I will
pay
for Weather Alert USA if it will give me pollen numbers. If it does not,
is
there an app that will give me weather alerts and the pollen count?

Scott:
As someone who makes his living in local radio. We certainly appreciate
that
you still rely on local radio. That is exactly what local radio should be
about. However, I feel that sadly local radio has lost some of its focus
where that is concerned. Oh well, a topic for another day, another list.
If
you're interested in Weather Alert USA, it can be found in the App store
if
you search it out. The App does cost 9.99. However, it is totally
accessible
with voiceover & can serve all or most of your weather needs. Including
weather alerts, a very detailed forecast, etc.

Sean Paul,
I do not blame you and completely agree. If some have had success with
Imap
Weather Radio that is great, but I could not trust it and found the
alerts
not timely enough. I am fascinated with the idea of text alerts if those
will be any more timely than what other apps may provide. I wil have to
look
at Weather ALert USA since this is not an app I'm familiar with and would
like to read info on. I still relie on local radio to get the most
up-to-date forecast information during a weather event.
THanks for sharing the name of this other app.

I have checked my settings as recent as yesterday during the severe

alert me of the severe thunderstorm watch nor the warnings. That is &

been my experience with the app. That isn't opinion. If yours has been
different. That's great, I'm glad for you. I'm glad I got the app when
it
was free as well. I'm also glad I'm not putting my life on it. &, that
I'm
still using a good old-fashioned weather radio @ least when I am at my
home or in the studio... Otherwise I'll keep looking for an all
inclusive
weather app. One that will alert me as watches & warnings are sent. Not
lightning strikes near me. & one that will give me a good detailed
weather
forecast. & thus far I've settled on Weather Alert USA.

I can't check my settings since I removed the app. :) THings may have
improved and in all fairness I have not used the app in nearly a eight
months or more.
I do not want to give anyone the impression the app is junk because your
experiences may be different then mine.

Hi:
I do not have battery issues with iMap. I have an iPhone 4 from AT&T.
My
alerts also sound when my regular weather radio sounds. Check your
settings.

the battery sitting out in the background. ALthough maybe it has
gotten
better.
There will be a time when cell carriers will be sending you free text
messages about weather alerts. Of course this is assuming the FCC and
others come together. :) And for our non-U.S. members the FCC is the
Federal Communications COmmission which is responsible for all things
telecom.

Thanks very much for confirming this for & with me Scott as far as
IMAP
Weather Radio is concerned. I've posted about the extreme delay of
IMAP
several times. We've had severe weather in our area all afternoon &
evening long today. Not 1 peep out of IMAP Weather Radio. Good thing
I'm setting @ the computer & have my NWS Chat logged in...

Anything delivered over the network may be subject to a delay. I used
Imap radio in the past and it also was subject to delays as well. In
fact I happen to have the radio on and received over-the-air
notifications more quickly than from Imap radio. This is not a
negative
to the value the app has, but simply pointing out that text or
otherwise may be subject to delays as well.

I'd use something like iMap weather radio. Don't rely on texts. They

Hi all,
Does anyone know if you can get weather alerts as text messages
from
verizon? If so, where do I send the text message.
Thanks,
