I just started following this thread but to me the most important alert is
the Government Alerts. This woke me in the middle of the night a few months
ago with a Tornado Warning for my location. What is especially good about
that is that I keep the phone by the bed but keep wired earpods plugged in
at night so the other notifications don't wake me up. But the Government
alerts came through the speaker even with headphones connected which is
important. I did choose not to receive the Amber Alerts after one of those
came through in the middle of the night a few years ago. I unchecked this
one since I can't see the pictures anyway. But I did appreciate the Tornado
Warning. Luckily the tornado did not come to my mobile home park but did hit
about 10 miles away.
For ordinary weather alerts I use Storm Shield. I see that it was compared
to Weather Radio which someone said is $9.99. Storm Shield is $2.99.

Keith,
I don't know how this works, but I get alerts even when I cannot tell that
it's running (but it must be).
This is also true for one of my local news paper apps, which gives me
"headline" notifications for breaking news, and it's definitely not running
in any way that I can see it. Actually, the same is true for my Outlook
app, which gives me calendar alerts, even when I haven't run it in days.
There must be a way for apps to really be in the background, so that they
don't show up even in the app switcher.
I'll do some research on this to see if I can come up with anything
definitive.
Chip

Does it have to be on in the background to send alerts, or will alerts get
sent even if the app is closed? Thanks, Keith

I use Wunderground (from Weather Underground, free).
It tracks your current location, and also allows you to specify multiple
locations for notifications. It also gives you a lot of weather and
forecast info on screen if you want it, along with the severe weather
alerts. You can also specify the types of severe alerts you want to be
notified about.
Supported by ads, which you can pay to remove, although with Voice Over I
don't notice them at all.

Hi, what are some severe weather alert apps people use?
I'm looking for where I can receive alerts for multiple locations.
Thank you,
Traci
