Just open the SPC main warning site or the http://kamala.cod.edu/svr/
site to the browser window, then hit the + button, then add to the Home Screen. Rename it it someone with a short ID like "WRN." and you are set. I keep my iPhone in a charging cradle with "no sleep" option on, so I can just hit refresh. The other option is to use a paging (email) system offered by multiple outlets -- good for consumers but maybe overkill and too much unwanted data for most chasers. ONLY A FEW WEEKS UNTIL THE FUN BEGINS!!!!

Greg, while Storm Spotter has the features I can tell you from experience that the app is Terrible in the field. It freezes and is really slow. It takes a ton of bandwidth compared to RadarScope (doesn't provide watch/warning boxes as of now). Storm Spotter is slow even on my WiFi at home which is on a Cable Modem. I would not rely on it while chasing.
I use www.srh.noaa.gov/oun/monitor/warningdisplay.php It loads quickly and shows a color map of OKlahoma with counties currently under warnings.

Give "Weather USA" a shot and see how you like it. It was $0.99 last I looked and it has forecast info, watches and warnings via push and GPS localization to let you know the wx where you are. Of course everything is customizable to make it useful for pretty much whatever you need it for.
This used to be a bare-bones NWS aggregater but has evolved nicely over the past year.
