Storm Shield is a weather app that provides storm-based alerts for tornadoes, hurricanes, floods, thunderstorms, winter storms, and other life-threatening weather events via voice and push notification. The app reduces false alarms by alerting users to severe weather based on their exact location within a county. The app also provides a hi-def radar map as the home screen, current conditions, hourly and daily forecasts, and the ability to save additional locations to ensure family members stay safe. Users can view NOAA severe weather alerts on the map to see where dangerous weather is happening and tap alerts to view information. The app also offers multiple severe weather layers on the map at the same time, including flood watches and warnings, tornadoes and thunderstorms, hurricane and tropical storm forecast tracks, winter storms, marine and coastal alerts, radar and clouds, wind speed, snowfall, and road weather.
The app offers two auto-renewing subscriptions: Premium Weather and Lightning. Premium Weather unlocks future radar, future temperature map, and storm tracks, while Lightning provides push notifications for lightning strikes near users' locations and the ability to see lightning on the map within 100 miles of a selected location. Payment is charged to the user's Google Play Account at confirmation of purchase, and subscriptions automatically renew unless auto-renew is turned off before the end of the current period. Users can manage subscriptions and turn off auto-renewal by going to the Google Play Store menu and selecting 'Subscriptions' after purchase. The app's privacy policy and terms of use are available on the Storm Shield website.
Storm Shield is made possible by The E.W. Scripps Company, and users can view help and tips at support.stormshieldapp.com.
Overall, Storm Shield is a comprehensive weather app that provides users with accurate and timely information about severe weather events in their area. The app's storm-based alerts and hi-def radar map help reduce false alarms and ensure that users stay safe during life-threatening weather events. The app's auto-renewing subscriptions offer additional features for users who want more detailed weather information.
