Storm Shield 4.17

Storm Shield is an highly acclaimed weather app for iPhone and Apple Watch, recognized by Time.com's @Techland as one of the best options available. It provides severe weather alerts specifically tailored to your location. With Storm Shield, you'll receive storm-based alerts for a range of life-threatening weather events such as tornadoes, hurricanes, floods, thunderstorms, and winter storms. These alerts are delivered via both voice and push notification, ensuring that you stay informed about potential dangers.

One of the key advantages of Storm Shield is its accuracy in pinpointing your exact location within a county, reducing the likelihood of false alarms. This is in contrast to traditional county-based alerts, which can lead to unnecessary warnings when your specific location is not actually within the threatened area.

Testimonials from satisfied users highlight the app's effectiveness in providing timely and potentially life-saving information. For instance, one user reported that Storm Shield alerted their family about a tornado in Broken Arrow, OK faster than both their television and tornado sirens. Another individual mentioned how the app proved invaluable during their experience with a tornado in Oklahoma City, as it provided vital information that potentially saved lives.

Storm Shield offers a range of benefits to enhance your weather monitoring experience:

• Receive voice alerts akin to those from a NOAA weather radio through push notifications across the entire United States.
• Pair Storm Shield with your Apple Watch to receive alerts directly on your wrist when they are issued for your specific locations.
• Add Storm Shield's widget to your Today screen for quick access to active alerts for your primary location.
• Utilize 3D-Touch on your iPhone to access the widget directly from Storm Shield's app icon.
• Stay informed through the app's hi-def radar map, which serves as your home screen and allows for quick and easy monitoring of weather conditions at your desired locations.
• Compatible with Dark Mode in iOS 13, Storm Shield offers a user-friendly experience across different devices.
• Additional features include long-tapping on the map to access current conditions, hourly and daily forecasts, as well as the option to save multiple locations to ensure the safety of your family.

The app also provides the ability to view NOAA severe weather alerts displayed on an interactive map, allowing you to visualize where dangerous weather is occurring. This feature includes essential information such as flood watches and warnings, tornadoes and thunderstorms, hurricane and tropical storm forecast tracks, winter storms, marine and coastal alerts, radar and cloud data, wind speed, snowfall, water temperatures, and road weather conditions.
