About ALERT FM
Most weather apps available today just give you the forecast for a select city or cities. The ALERT FM App can possibly help save your life.
The ALERT FM App integrates the critically acclaimed iMap Weather Radio with the reliability of ALERT FM’s state and local citizen notification. Before, during, and after a critical event receive timely localized emergency information- everything from weather alerts to available shelter locations- delivered right to your mobile device.
ALERT FM is used by a rapidly growing number of state and local officials to notify their citizens about emergency situations. The ALERT FM App provides users with weather forecasts, current conditions, radar updated every 5 minutes, and advisories/ watches/ warnings for both your preset and current locations across the United States. Additionally, you can receive information from federal, state and local emergency officials such as storm precautions and evacuations, hazardous chemical spills, major accidents, Amber Alerts, and more.
The ALERT FM App is free to download. The emergency alerting and basic weather functionality is available for free and there is an In-App Purchase option for upgraded weather functionality.

I have paid for the App in Nov 2014, and I had to reset my phone back to factory. Now it wants me to pay again. I followed the steps on reinstalling to NOT pay again, but still shows I have to purchase. I used it all the time, and it gave me great results. Please tell me how to fix this!

Nice working app. Very to download and work. Tells you of a bad storm going to hit. Great way to keep up with the weather. Yes it's FREE. However if I pay the $9.99 they have a push noice. That sends a ring to your phone of on sleep or stand by. It's very cool and works with no problems. If you don't want to pay that fine too you CAN still use the app just fine. Still tells u the weather. Download and try it.

The accuracy and timing of the radar help me plan my day around rain and storms. Push notifications wake me in my sleep when warnings have been issued. Love the idea of getting local info from my county.

This is supposed to be our new alert system. It's fairly useless. The money nag screens are really too frequent. I'm deleting this until it gets better.
