Storm Shield

WHY DO I GET THREE NOTIFICATIONS FOR THE SAME LIGHTNING STRIKE?!?! Irritating. I should not be woken up out of a dead sleep because of lightning.

I’m using Storm Shield since many years and it’s simply the best. Just this morning the app informed me that a brief rain shower would occur at 6:57am - at exactly at 6:57 it started raining for about 3 minutes. Do I have to say more? The latest price increase from $1.49 per month to &6.49 per month is ridiculous. What do we get more out of the app with this 500% increase? I have to bite in this apple as I need StormShield during our hurricane season but still I think it’s ridiculous.

Quite often it will not show correct predictions like the other apps. Today it is showing 0 precipitation while it’s raining! That’s the normal.

For an app that describes itself as a “severe weather alerts” app, if you want lighting alerts, it’s a paid subscription

After latest update the app will not show radar or weather layers. Tried deleting and restoring subscription and it will not restore.

The precipitation radar just stopped working, and opening layers doesn’t let me turn precipitation on/off either. So basically the ONE thing the free version did doesn’t even work anymore.

This used to be my go to weather app. Not anymore, it will say there is an alert, but if you click for more info, nothing. Radar working, flip a coin on whether it’s actually working. Want to adjust the layers, once again, good luck if you even get to see anything regarding what layers you can use. They haven’t updated the app in so long, I’m thinking that they are just milking this for what subscription fees they have left and doing nothing to maintain it.

The app never lets you know when severe weather events are coming or other severe weather events will happen.

This app used to be really good, but I’m getting alerts and when I click nothing is there. It’s also not updating while I’m traveling, even though I refresh.

I have been a loyal customer since the app launched. It was my favorite and the best for future radar watches. It helped with Tornado tracking in my area and having the ability to warn my local family. This App has increased its fees from yearly to monthly to weekly at ridiculous levels, especially in a time where everything else is ridiculously expensive… $30 a year, $12 a month, $1.99 a week adds up quick I have deleted the app and moved on You think they would Grandfather the loyal customers in that helped make what the app good like it once was with the small team of determined developers that focused on the customer satisfaction and amazing weather information it provided. Instead, the new owners are more interested in ‘pleasing and lining the stock holders pockets’ first and bending everyone over a log while stroking a dry corn cob right up where the sun don’t shine This app is a blundering joke and I hope all others follow along to the point it has to shut down.

I did not change my location but the app now sends weather for Lamont, FL instead of Lamar, TX. Useless. I can’t find a way to fix it.

I’ve used this app for years but in the last year it’s not reliable. Sometimes a local alert will pop up on my phone, sometimes not, but when I go to check the alert it’s not there (even though it’s active). I have better luck with a local weather station app that’s hundreds of miles away. I’m not sure what glitch is happening, but for a paid app - I expect more. Please address this! I don’t want to cancel - but did because it just doesn’t work. The alerts are critical for severe or inclement weather!!! Get it together!

After 20+ YEARS of using this app, ROTTING GARBAGE IS MORE ACCURATE & RELIABLE NOW. I relied on this app for decades. This app NO LONGER helps save lives - PERIOD!! (And I KNOW my Meterology. I’ve been SAR, a Volunteer First Responder, Volunteer K9 Searcher, AWS w/Air Force in college & still a Storm Chaser to name just a few professions that require meteorological knowledge.) Greedy buyers/“investors” did what they do best: buy what they know NOTHING about, gut it, significantly increase price & FALSIFY THEIR INFO (WILDLY FALSIFYING STORM SHIELD APP!!! WOW!) with INFO FROM YEARS AGO to impress the unaware. —> SCUM IN DRAIN PIPES HAS BETTER QUALITY & ACCURACY THAN STORM SHIELD NOW! <— —> PRICE GAUGING as well for THIS NOW GARBAGE storm shieldLESS APP. <— The list of what has not been destroyed in this app is so long there is only one thing to list that’s not: graphics have slightly improved. **** CANCELED MY SUBSCRIPTION, and I paid for the best on this app for myself and my team & volunteers, & ALL of MY CLIENTS HAVE CANCELLED AS WELL. PS: WHO IN THE HECK MAKES PIN-DROPS THE SAME COLOR AS THE WEATHER RADARS SO YOU CANNOT FIND A SPECIFIC LOCATION DURING SEVERE WEATHER??!! Oh yeah, the INCOMPETENT “INVESTORS” who bought out THIS NOW GARBAGE APP. (IE: Red pin drops with red severe rain fall radar OVER the red pinned location (and blue pins during blue winter weather alerts) for you incompetent “investors” - just a red or blue blob.)

I first downloaded this app several years ago when it’s original owners and developers had it. Living in Iowa, severe weather is a thing and promptness, accuracy and reliability are THE key attributes for a severe weather alerting app to demonstrate. Storm Shield ticked all three boxes for years both in Iowa and for the brief time I lived in another state. Like some of the reviews suggest, I was impressed by the fact that the app would push an alert before other outlets or outdoor warning sirens. Didn’t matter if the alert was related to convective weather, winter weather, high winds or fog…Storm Shield was always ahead of the game-and at a very reasonable price. $.99/mo for everything. Granted one doesn’t have to purchase any upgrades in order to get the key functionality which is the alerting. What I am floored by is how the current developer can justify such an up charge to $11.49+? What is the true value proposition that warrants increasing price from $.99, to $5 or 6, to what it is today?? Not only is this monthly cost not practical, I have noticed that the reliability and timeliness of the app to alert has declined. Sometimes it is delayed significantly but many times it doesn’t even alert when it should. This decline while the cost increases leads me to only one conclusion: the development and ownership folks care more about profit than the consumer experience.

Latest price increase to over $11 a month is too much. It adds uo to more than $120 year. After almost a decade, I am cancelling my subscription. I will miss you but this is too much.

I purchased this app several years ago but now says I need upgrade for full features what!

Absolutely gave us no alert for the tornado that touched down. At least I was watching the news and heard the sirens

Once again we have tornado sirens and this app was silent. If you are looking for an app to keep you safe, this one is not it.

This app is not worth $11.49 a month. What are you doing?

A family member has a subscription for the app and even though family sharing is enabled on both their devices and mine, Storm Shield errors out and doesn't allow me to restore the subscription.

I’ve used this app for many many years but now the forecasting is terrible. It says the high will be 65 degrees but then the hourly says it will only get up to 37 degrees. I only use it for the radar now.

$10.99 a month is crazy! Cancelled my subscription and I hope others message you all about it.

I wasn’t happy about the price increase to $6.49 , but now they want to charge $11.49 a month. Are they crazy or just plain out greedy and hoping enough people don’t pay attention to subscription increases. Good bye and good riddance storm shield.

For years this was a great app, but lately I’ve been finding it confusing. Today’s daily “daily view” showed thunderstorms but the hourly details showed only showed a very low chance of rain. Tomorrow’s daily view is cloudy but the hourly details shows a very high chance of rain. If the daily view is all I have time to look at I’m going to be disappointed by your lack accuracy often.

This has been my go-to weather app for years, but now when I need to see closings & delays info, it isn't working. Is app still active or do I move to another?
