Best App for Severe Weather Alerts

[B Ozanne]

What is the best iphone app for severe weather push alerts? I also want something that doesn't kill my battery.

I've been playing with a bunch the past few days and nothing seems to be timely or consistent. Accuweather doesn't seem to work at all. TWC and Weather Underground both seem to work, but not consistently.

I think I have imap Weather Radio setup properly now (must have gotten it for free some time in the past) so I will see what happens this afternoon. I have the app totally killed off in the background, but it is still forcing my location services icon to stay on.

Does anybody have background information on the AT&T government alerts service? My phone just got the upgrade and now it is available. What kind of weather events are included?

iMap Weather Radio.

WEA will send you Tornado Warnings if you are in the polygon. http://www.att.com/gen/public-affairs?pid=20107

I love Pro Weather Alert for Android. I let it run constantly with a 2 minute update for multiple counties. It even alerts me to events when I'm driving into a warned area not programed in....via GPS.

I wish they had a iPhone verson...

they also have a free version, but its only for one county at a time.

I actually really dig the red cross tornado app. It will monitor any zip code you want plus it monitors your current location with the phone.
