FLASH Weather Alerts for Android
You choose up to 5 locations and it can also track your current location and provide weather and alert data as you travel. Then setup the alerts you want to be notified of. The app also features fairly typical weather info for each location you’ve added. You can play the audio current weather conditions and forecast. For me, the thing I disliked the most is that this is clearly a straight port from iOS. There are on screen buttons that make sense on an Apple product. On droid, I’d much rather use the device’s buttons. When the app receives an alert it is going to notify you with an unmistakable audible tone and audio information about the alert and where it is for. You can then open the notification and hear the complete alert. Because each phone is a little different, I would like to see a test notification so you can see how your phone responds depending on how your volume and ringer is set. My workaround was to select five locations and enable every alert. That worked and about four o’clock in the morning my phone woke me with an alert in Kansas. None of the flaws affect the function and because it could save your life I’m giving it the highest rating.
Gave it a four because it tends to freeze at times or not send an alert
