"I`m pissed! We are having a lot of storms in my area and while sleeping in the middle of the night we were woken abruptly to the sound of a tornado siren coming from the app. My husband and I jumped up out of bed super quickly, grabbed our 7 year old and ran down stairs to climb into the closet. It wasn`t until we were in and my daughter was crying before we realized the alarm sounded to tell us to Tornado Watch was OVER! Seriously?! That is not OK."

"This app just pushed a tornado alarm that caused my whole family to scramble to our tornado shelter only to discover after we were there that the alarm had actually sounded to notify that the tornado watch was canceled. I`m so not ok with this. I cannot trust an app of this sort that would generate a life or death alarm for a watch cancellation."

"I`m a storm Chase on myself and it`s a pretty good app but but there`s no way to delete a town off of you alarm after the fact you don`t want that town on it. I would probably suggest for it to go off longer when there`s a tornado warning so people don`t ignore it."

"Uninstalling. Getting a 4 am alert with tornado sirens screaming ``tornado warning`` when it is a watch issued for an area that didn`t even include me is not ok. Also the app is confusing and hard to use."

"If I could give a lower rating I would. I use to get allerts before the storm, now if I get an allert at all, its after the storm has already passed thru and that is to late. I heard a roar looked outside saw the trees bending every which way, and about 30 minutes later after, the warning had expired, I got the tornado warning, too late."

"Not sure what changed, normally I get alerts but it`s thundering all around me right now, has been for at least 20 minutes, windy too but no alerts in a 40 mile radius. AS DO YOU COMMENT: About five hours since my last review, thunder and lightening out again, sounds like a storm is here, no alerts again."
