This app replaced the tornado app. This app is horrible. The old app would actually show a map and the warning area. This one issues a warning but doesn't even tell location. I had one go off early this morning and wasn't even for my location. I live in an area with no sirens. So I need something that is accurate. This is not it. Reactivate the original app.

Great app! Android 14 broke the ability to set DND overrides per warning type. Only 'fix' for this is to run 2 similar weather apps (like this one & the Severe Weather Alerts app), one with what you want DND to override (like Tornado Warnings), & the other with everything else (like storm warnings, watches, etc.). Then, in your phone's settings, add the app that you want to override DND in Settings > Notifications > Do Not Disturb > App Notifications (might be slightly different in some phones)

The app it replaced was amazing! Saved my family in the middle of the night during tornadoes. Woke us all up with the loud alarm. Now... it keeps crashing before it can even open. I get pop up messages constantly saying it keeps crashing and asking if I want to shut it down. Now, as in right this second, I'm getting decent storms, and I can't even open the app!!!
