I find this app trustworthy and accurate. It has kept us very well informed of any serious weather systems rolling in. And it's not just for weather information. Like this morning, for example. We received an alert about a dangerous individual possibility in our area. And that we should take precautions if working outside. Once again, a great app to have in your toolbox.

Prompts for emergency weather are clear accurate and well timed. Easily customisable for weather types and watches/warnings. I will not use any location settings on devices but the warnings still come through fine as the areas to be monitored are selected manually.
