Storm Shield Severe Weather App

This app turns your iPhone or Android into an emergency weather radio. Get storm-based alerts for winter storm season, tornado, hurricane, flood, thunderstorm and other life-threatening weather events via voice and push notifications. Users can program the app to receive alerts for up to five locations such as home and work or to ensure friends and family are safe. Sophisticated alerting technology provides precise storm-based alerts directly to your phone when one of your locations falls within an NWS watch or warning box. The Storm Shield App is available on your iPhone or Android device for $4.99.
