Pro Weather Alert (v. 3.0.71) Разработано Global Can of Worms, LLC |
Don't be surprised by the weather again!
This app runs in the background and monitors the official National Weather Service (NWS) alerts for your area. New alerts will appear on the status bar, and by selecting it, you can read the details.
You can also choose how urgent of a notification to get, based on the NWS Severity. An Extreme alert coming through? Then you'd probably like vibrate, lights AND bell for that! But a simple Wind Warning? Probably not as much. You can choose the level of response in the preferences.
Pro Weather Alert has all of the features of Simple Weather Alert, and more!
+ No ads.
+ Monitor unlimited locations, each with an intuitive name you set.
+ See the details and instructions of all alerts for all areas.
+ See where around you the alerts are using the Alert Map. No more wondering if you're driving into or out of bad weather.
+ Choose how to be notified (lights, bell, vibrate), and decide which alerts will override your phone silence settings.
+ Sort and Filter the alerts in the list, by severity or location.
+ Two alert levels (“emergency” and “urgent”) are customizable, in case you want lights, bell, and vibrate for extreme alerts, and just lights for severe alerts. All other weather alerts will give a simple notice on the action bar.
+ Individually select which NWS alerts you want to be considered "Emergency" or "Urgent"
+ Alerts keep updated automatically as long as you have connectivity
+ Find your alert location by GPS or network location, and have alerts follow your phone as you move.
+ An app widget added to your home screen allows for easy on/off toggling of lights, vibrate and sound settings. The alerts will still be checked and put on your status bar though, so you can keep an eye on it during class or church, without it causing distraction. You can also toggle the location following feature to save battery when not driving.
+ Key words and phrases list. Create a list of words or phrases, and when an alert is received that contains those words or phrases, it will be marked in the alerts list with an icon, and the phrases will be highlighted when you read the alert details.
+ Email an alert to friends or send via text message (**requires Contacts List permission**), so they can be warned as well.
+ Post your alert to our Facebook wall or Twitter feed! This is especially useful for non-weather alerts, such as Child Abduction Emergencies.
+ Change your alert polling times to maximize battery life.
+ Constant alerting annoying? You can now mute repeated alerts so those busy storm nights don't un-necessarily alert you.
NOTE: Do *NOT* use RAM or memory clearing apps. It will disable this app and you will not receive alerts.
You can view the app manual here or in the app:

An explanation of permissions: The SMS and Contacts List permission are required so you can send an alert to someone via text message. The contacts list permission allows for easier selecting of the number.
IMPORTANT: While we take all possible precautions to make sure this app will get you critical alerts on time, the unforseen can still occur, as well as simple cell/network outages. Thus, we do not recommend that you ever rely on this app ALONE for tornado warnings. Please use this app along with other methods to ensure you are alerted in time.
NOTE: If you are certain the app is not sending you the alerts it should, please use Menu:Troubleshooting to send us debug info about it so we can work to resolve it quickly.
If you run into any other issues with this app or have questions, send us a note in the Menu:Troubleshooting screen. Also, visit the developers blog on our website for a list of current issues we are addressing.
[2013-09-07] A Google User: Ok |
|
[2013-08-30] A Google User: Simple, reliable It's nothing fancy, but it sure works well, and has lots of customization options. |
|
[2013-08-11] A Google User: Could be a great app It's great when it's working. The alert service keeps disabling. That's kind of the point in having it, to be alerted of what's going on. |
|
[2013-07-20] A Google User: Awesome Great app, always keeps me up to date with what's going on! |
|
[2013-07-05] A Google User: Umm Why does it record all text messages |
|
[2013-07-02] A Google User: Best in Breed! but... One request, if one has specifically excluded an event - its presence should not trigger the more frequent checking for alerts. I live in an area where Rip Currents are an every day alert - I need to treat them accordingly. Other than that, I must say "BRAVO" - as no single "Weather" app meets my needs - so I must select "narrow best of breed solutions" like yours. Nothing better for alerting! |
|
[2013-06-30] A Google User: Clear an alert Would be nice if you could clear a warning such as a flood warning so that it doesn't keep checking at the active alert frequency |
|
[2013-06-26] A Google User: Best app ever I have been using this app for some time now. I love it! I recommend it to everyone!! |
|
[2013-06-25] A Google User: Push Notifications If notifications were pushed to the phone instead of having the phone poll the server on interval, this app would be almost perfect. Also, a manual refresh button would be a nice and welcome addition. |
|
[2013-06-25] A Google User: Best weather alert app I've spent quite a bit of time looking for a weather alert app. This one tops them all. Definitely worth the pro version with the the customization options |
|
[2013-06-23] A Google User: What severe storm?? Inaccurate and complicated |
|
[2013-06-20] A Google User: Awesome! I love this app! It works really nicely, does not suck the life of my battery, and I can choose what I want to see and what I don't want to see. |
|
[2013-06-18] A Google User: Keeps you updated! Notifies on anything you set it to!! It's never failed.. |
|
[2013-06-18] A Google User: Great App This app is both accurate and functional. Very impressed with its simplicity and ease of use. It does alert quite redundantly, but if you set it right, it cuts some of that out. Plus, when you are talking weather that could hurt you, I guess it's better to have too many alerts than too few. I give this App an A. |
|
[2013-06-18] A Google User: A must have app Even when my NOAA radio didn't have a warning this app did... and so did the NWS and TV. If you live where there is a possibility of bad weather, this is a must have app. |
|
[2013-06-13] A Google User: Excellent Does everything I need it to do. Alerts every couple of minutes. You can set up what you want alerts for and exclude what you don't need. It even sends text messages preceded by the EBS warning signal. Came in handy the other day when I was under a tornado warning. It informed me to take shelter. Well worth the price. Does everything the app claims it does. |
|
[2013-06-10] A Google User: Best weather notification app in the store This is by far the best weather notification app in the store. Hardly any battery drain at all. I have it update every 30 min. when no alerts and every 10 min. when alerts are active. I have a horrible phone, but this app is fantastic! When I had what I thought were problems, the developer quickly responded and let me know what I was doing wrong. Only second app I have ever paid for. This is worth more than 5 stars. |
|
[2013-05-30] A Google User: Update It works but when I downloaded it I thought it was a type that had a weatherman speak to me. It has many flexible ways of setting alerts up. You can set them to be as paranoid as you want or casual as you want. It uses your built in alerts not a weatherman's voice. |
|
[2013-05-30] A Google User: Very Accurate This app is fantastic! Here in Norman, OK. you look for every weather advantage you can for safety. Be warned tough! It is dependant on cell phone service. Have a safe dependable back-up. |
|
[2013-05-23] A Google User: A Must Have!!! I used Simple Weather Alert for about a year. It always kept me immediately updated on any alerts in my current location. I've been so impressed, decided to upgrade to Pro Weather Alert. Same app, just more control/options. It is well worth the $1.99. This is must have for anyone from weather enthusiasts to people that want to keep their family weather aware and safe. Simple Weather Alert and Pro Weather Alert are both top notch(Pro Version - gives more control and allows you to define Emergency and Urgent alerts so it will not alarm for conditions you are not concerned with). |
|
[2013-05-18] A Google User: HORRIBLE SERVICE AFTER PURCHASE BEWARE: ERROR CODE -24 It worked fine until phone reset. Received error code while trying to reinstall app and GLOBAL CAN OF WORMS does NOT know how to fix it, nor does Google Play.....LOVELY! |
|
[2013-05-15] A Google User: Was great Awesome until it crashed and quit working at all |
|
[2013-05-08] A Google User: Excellent This Weather App could possibly save your life since your phone is usually close by. idigitalclic Tip! Have a backup battery powered Weather Service Alert Radio as an added Weather Alert Insurance. |
|
[2013-05-01] A Google User: Saves headaches! Know what the weather is doing no matter where you are. I bight this app because we travel, lots, and i don't have to worry about weather warnings where. Battery saver works great too. |
|
[2013-04-29] A Google User: Stops working constantly When you pay for an app to give you the severe weather alerts so you can keep your family safe it would be nice it would work! This one does NOT work as it stops. We were under a tornado warning and it said no alerts. The devs need to fix it or refund everyone who purchased this app. |
|
[2013-04-28] A Google User: Great App! Received tornado warning and walked outside to see rotating clouds...took cover... did not touch down thank god! |
|
[2013-04-27] A Google User: Great app I am responsible for a 700 seat auditorium and I use this app as a backup to my weather radio. This app is great! After spending a few minutes selecting my tones, adding or excluding events, and setting my location the app runs in the background. I would rate the app at 5 stars if the alerts were pushed to my phone instead of my phone having to poll the server. Not much of a problem once a watch has been issued and my phone polls every 2 minutes but a lot can happen in 2 minutes. |
|
[2013-04-22] A Google User: WOW Requires some thought and effort to set up with individual requirements, BUT WOW!! when this app is finished (if ever); it is, and will be great. I've tried them all and none are even close to PWA. The developer has his "ducks" in a row and can't wait for the next update, whatever it will be.****** Just got the latest update which displays alert areas and "suspicions confirmed"; this is a winner. |
|
[2013-04-14] A Google User: Alerts stopped working I live in Florida and the last few times we have had a tornado watch/warning, i get no alerts. We just got a tornado warning issued until 10pm and the way i found out was my ipod touch went off. Checked my phone with this app and it is telling me no alerts for my area :( |
|
[2013-04-13] A Google User: Nice app but no support Docking 2 stars because developer never responded to email and app did not alert me when phone was in silent mode, even though in settings I had set the app to override phone silent mode. Bit of a problem during a tornado watch overnight. |
|
[2013-04-11] A Google User: Great Works great really helps |
|
[2013-04-11] A Google User: Medicsaber Worked great keeping me updated at work during our blizzard. |
|
[2013-04-10] A Google User: Was a good app, but latest version drains battery Great app, great options, and eliminates duplicate alerts. Only complaint is that the interface is a bit stark, but it works fine otherwise so that's not a big deal. |
|
[2013-04-09] A Google User: Hmm. Got a blizzard going on here.. last alert I got was early this morning. 7pm now. Seems like no matter what I do. Its not working correctly now. |
|
[2013-04-06] A Google User: Samsung Blaze |
|
[2013-04-05] A Google User: No notifications Test alerts work but not real alerts. edWeather alerts always work. Do not see a service or other indication of activity beyond timer. |
|
[2013-04-05] A Google User: Simple, and works Living in Oklahoma, if there is a tornado warning.. It's idea to know immediately versus the 5 to 15 minute delay most weather apps have to notify of warnings. Very lightweight and just works. |
|
[2013-04-05] A Google User: Better After update and reinstall way better now works real nice |
|
[2013-03-25] A Google User: Works perfectly! No complaints! Excellent app! |
|
[2013-03-05] A Google User: Sue&Marty Furn Nook. We love this app it's the best .Thank You. |
|
[2013-02-12] A Google User: The best weather app. ever. A++++ . It Just keeps getting better and better. Well worth the few dollars for the pro version. Like others have said, use a sound that will bring attention to it if you are asleep. I use an air raid siren for tornado alerts and that will send a chill down your back at any time of the day or night if it goes off. Keep up the great work dev.... I highly Recommend it. |
|
[2013-02-11] A Google User: Good app Works as advertised. Very happy. |
|
[2013-02-11] A Google User: Great alerting This app does exactly as designed. Not flashy, but definitely functional! |
|
[2013-02-07] A Google User: Very helpful I cannot receive weather radio signal so a NOAA weather radio does not work. I have used this app for almost a year and it is reliable and as fast as the tv or web page notification. I purchased a few other similar apps, but this one was the best. |
|
[2013-02-05] A Google User: It would be better if the area covered by "home" was smaller, just included immediate area. |
|
[2013-01-30] A Google User: HTC EVO 4G... EMAIL ALERTS? Would be beneficial if you could email alerts. Fix this ASAP. |
|
[2013-01-27] A Google User: Best! Does exactly what it needs to do and is very lightweight on the OS. Perfect! |
|
[2013-01-21] A Google User: Good, but could use a minor tweak Love the app, especially with the pro feature that uses your location to obtain alerts relevant to where you are at that time. Would like some more finely tuned options for checking on alerts besides 'every x minutes when there are no alerts' and 'every x minutes when alerts are present'. For most instances that alerts are present, they are low priority items so I don't need more frequent checks. I'd like to select certain alerts that would trigger the more frequent checks. (ie tor watch would be more frequent while wind advisory would be at the regular infrequent check) |
|
[2013-01-15] A Google User: Great app I really like this app. it keeps me up to date with the weather in 2 locations. |
|
[2013-01-15] A Google User: Love it!! It took me a bit figure out the settings for this app but now that I have it perfectly set too my preferences, I find this app to be a must have! Living in an area with such unpredictable weather, I find myself dependant on this app and it's weather updates. |
|
[2013-01-15] A Google User: Excellent app This app is the best weather alerting app on the Market. It is thorough, customizable, and easy to use. Well worth the money. |
|
[2013-01-15] A Google User: Great App! I really like this app. The developers are constantly trying to better this program. I get NWS alerts even before I hear them on the local media. Thanks for a great product! |
|
[2013-01-15] A Google User: LOVE THIS! Awesome app for the weather enthusiast! Love the new notification icon! |
|
[2013-01-05] A Google User: ;-) This is a very good app. Always accurate and gives me plenty of time in advance to prepare. If the developers notice a glitch, that are quick to fix it. I am impressed. |
|
[2013-01-05] A Google User: :) Great app |
|
[2013-01-04] A Google User: Good. One of the best apps I have. I sometimes even buy it for other people. |
|
[2013-01-04] A Google User: Outstanding Love this app |
|
[2013-01-04] A Google User: Great app Bought the pro to support the developer. |
|
[2012-12-30] A Google User: Perfect! Tried several weather apps and none could do what they needed to do, except the FREE version of this App! I immediately purchased this Pro version! If you're looking to get Tornado Warnings, along with OTHER Weather related alerts, THIS is the App you want..your search has ended HERE!! |
|
[2012-12-18] A Google User: Too Many repetitive alerts Uninstalled |
|
[2012-11-27] A Google User: Most useful weather alert app I've found! Pro Weather Alert gives me exactly the NWS alerts that I want to get exactly when I need them and for exactly where I am. It's basically a NOAA weather alert radio in my pocket. The app is a pain in the butt to get configured at first, but once I understood all the settings and did a few test alerts I got it set up perfectly. Severe thunderstorm watch? The app checks for warnings more frequently. Flood watch? Meh. My phone vibrates and gives me something in my notification bar. Thunderstorm warning? -beep beep- Notification. Tornado warning? The volume goes all the way up and my phone shrieks like a banshee. |
|
[2012-11-20] A Google User: Doesn't work Doesn't work keeps locking up my phone |
|
[2012-11-19] A Google User: Good app Used the free and beta version for awhile now and they have never let me down. |
|
[2012-11-18] A Google User: Stay safe Good for anyone where severe weather can happen. Nothing fancy, but works well. I have lots of weather apps, and all the others are much prettier, but this is the one that I trust for my safety |
|
[2012-11-17] A Google User: Money back After 2 months stops notifing you give me my full refund did not notify me bout sandy |
|
[2012-11-05] A Google User: Yowza Perfect! |
|
[2012-11-04] A Google User: Great app! Must have to be informed about current weather conditions. |
|
[2012-11-04] A Google User: Works great! Well executed app. Will require some patience to set it up correctly. |
|
[2012-10-30] A Google User: Great!!! Love this app. Get the Pro version. It's a weather alert radio that follows you. It has alerted me to severe weather and tornadoes in my area at home and while on vacation with family. |
|
[2012-10-26] A Google User: Nice Awesome app. Works flawlessly. |
|
[2012-10-26] A Google User: Needs Manual Refresh I try to view alerts in my area if I have a current one it doesn't always show. I can't do a refresh. So I still have to go to accuweather to view alerts. |
|
[2012-10-26] A Google User: Best Weather App Hands down, no question... This is THE best weather alert app I've ever seen. BUY IT! |
|
[2012-10-24] A Google User: Can't change settings! I love the abilities of this app, but on my HTC One-C (with no hard menu key), I can't bring up the settings to change them! If they fix this, I'd give it five stars. |
|
[2012-10-24] A Google User: Very best !@ The best weather warning on market..period!! |
|
[2012-10-05] A Google User: Love it! I love this app. Its perfect for storm chasing. Location tracking let's me know when things will be in my area and I can get my camera ready. It might be my network, but I can't seem to update on my college's WiFi. No big deal. I set the app up to play the EAS alert for emergency/major notifications. This app is awesome! |
|
[2012-09-18] A Google User: Best of kind Does the necessary things without useless clutter and "toys". Very and easily customizable. Elegant interface. Bravo, brava! |
|
[2012-09-18] A Google User: Excellent App This is a great app. My wife was spending the day in another town and we had a Severe Thunder Storm warning and a Tornado Watch. She knew immediately and was able to stay in a safe place until the warning and watch were cancelled. The app works reliably. It does not use excessive battery. Configuration was a little confusing until I played with it a while, but don't worry, it works well "right out of the box". |
|
[2012-09-03] A Google User: Good App Its a good app. I used to run EMWIN at home, and have my computer send a text message for timely warnings. I have now went with Pro Weather Alert. Pro Weather Alert works good, but still isn't entirely fail safe. (Unlike a text message) you need at least 2 or 3 bars to get the data to pull through. If you are camping, or in a remote area, that might be a problem.. If you are driving in a remote area, the alert will eventually get to you. I think the lesser counties in your location, the lesser data, and battery drain. Its not a full replacement for a weather radio. If I have it set to pull every 2 minutes, it sometimes will take 10 minutes to receive the alert. (which really isn't that bad). It kinda can be a data hog, and can drain battery fast, but I have an entire state programmed (like 72 counties), which is kind of nuts. If you set your pulling times to where there are no alerts to 60 minutes, but add a few more counties to your west.. You shouldn't miss much, because Special Weather Statements are usually issued before a storm turns severe, and they are counted as alerts. Once a SPS is issued, it pulls every 2 minutes. If your a weather nut, $1.99 for this app was worth it. |
|
[2012-09-02] A Google User: Poor Alert Service is almost always disabled. Very unreliable. |
|
[2012-08-28] A Google User: My search is over! This is the one I have wanted since I got my Droid in Jan-2011. I travel all over the country and spend most of my day outside in remote areas. This app works! Pro version is totally worth the money. But be sure to sit down with it and read the manual so you get it properly configured for your situation. Dev is responsive, always ready to help. Thank you! |
|
[2012-08-26] A Google User: Very gd app But still have noaa weather radio and ck with local media on more weather condtions in your area to all affected by issaic be safe and god bless |
|
[2012-08-26] A Google User: The best I absolutely love this app, any weather fanatic will. It's also just a great tool to have. It hasn't failed me yet, I would give 5 stars if it had radar! |
|
[2012-08-25] A Google User: A must have wx app! Keeps getting better. One of the best weather apps for alerts you can get. |
|
[2012-08-21] A Google User: Great This is a great weather Alert app |
|
[2012-08-10] A Google User: Excellent Great app! Well worth the price! |
|
[2012-08-10] A Google User: Samsung Galaxy S Didnt realize this came in Pro. Sooo worth the money. THANKS. Best App. Just what I was looking for. |
|
[2012-08-09] A Google User: Highly recommend Great app and friendly developer. This app could save your life one day! Very customisable and good at home and when traveling. |
|
[2012-08-09] A Google User: THE BEST WEATHER APP EVER! I've tried many weather apps over the last two years and I like PRO WEATHER ALERT the best of them all. Highly configurable to suit your personal needs at home or while travelling across the USA. Also,Global Can of Worms really gets customer service the right way. I sent an email one morning about multiple alerts and got a fantastic email response which answered my concerns and explained the reason for the alerts within hours. This is an outstanding weather app and well worth the price. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND PRO WEATHER ALERT! |
|
[2012-08-08] A Google User: Awesome app, responsive developer This is my favorite alert app. When the nexus 7 launched the app wouldn't install on it. Contacted the developer, they figured out why and kept me in the loop the whole time. Love it. |
|
[2012-08-08] A Google User: Boommaster Great app let's you know when bad weathers coming or any treats. Everyone should have this app. |
|
[2012-08-01] A Google User: Bought this in March when driving cross country during the massive tornado outbreak. Well worth the cost for GPS tracking ability! |
|
[2012-07-31] A Google User: Awesome Wow, thank you. I've set several alerts on my phone, this app is ideal, pay attention to your settings. |
|
[2012-07-24] A Google User: I love this app. Sometimes I get the warnings before my weather radio goes off. |
|
[2012-07-21] A Google User: Must have app! Installed the free version, works so well had to get the extra functions of Pro. Alerted before local televsion station. Being able to have the weather alerts in the area you are traveling in is a mjor plus. Thanks for the great app! |
|
[2012-07-08] A Google User: Excellent Highly recommend this APP |
|
[2012-07-07] A Google User: Sweet and simple Does what you need, lots of customization |
|
[2012-07-05] A Google User: Mute time Need to add option to mute times between day hours, not just midnight. Would like to mute at work, when I don't need alerting |
|
[2012-07-03] A Google User: New User I drive 600 miles/wk and I was completely caught off guard by the Mid Atlantic storm 6/29. I need a wx alert app that tracks my location. Looking forward to trying this out. |
|
[2012-06-26] A Google User: It works |
|
[2012-06-24] A Google User: Samsung Stratosphere After a couple of weeks, it seems to work great. Went camping and I still got the alerts for the area even though I seemed to have virtually no cell coverage. I know it's no credit to the app but I was still amazed I got the alerts being under severe fire danger. |
