“I have had the same timeline and completely agree with the recent and fellow reviewer. A sudden $4.50 month increase for this app is ridiculous. I will be canceling and will find another place to view my weather. I was a big fan of this…”

About this app
Severe weather alerts for your exact location. Storm Shield gives you storm-based alerts for tornado, hurricane, flood, thunderstorm, winter storms and other life-threatening weather events via voice and push notification.
Storm-based alerts help reduce false alarms by alerting you to severe weather based on your exact location within a county. County-based alerts can result in false alarms, warning you when your location in the county is not within the threatened area.
These features come with your app download:
Benefits: • Get voice alerts just like a NOAA weather radio via push notification anywhere in the United States. • Hi-Def radar map is your home screen so you can quickly see what's going on at your locations. • View current conditions, hourly and daily forecasts. • Save additional locations to ensure family members stay safe.…

Evidence and review signals
This is where the page changes from an app-store listing into an evidence report: findings, important reviews, pricing and a dated history.
What we measured

Themes reported by reviewers
No theme reported
Counted from the reviews we have read for this app. "No theme reported" means no theme reached our reporting threshold — it is not a finding that nothing is wrong with this app, and we do not say it is.
Five-star share of ratings
Under 65% five-star
Arithmetic on the stores' own published rating counts. It says nothing about why the ratings fall where they do.
In the package we scanned
No package has been scanned for this app, so nothing is published about what it ships. That is an absence of evidence about the app, not a finding about it.

“Based on personal experience, I can no longer recommend the Storm Shield app as I once did. Previously, for years, the app had been my go-to primarily for ultra timely weather alerts pushed to my mobile devices. I can recall several…”
“I've been a paying customer of this app for years. Got a notification of a 400% price increase (with no additional features or anything to justify the price gouging). Did some research, found out they were bought out by Bending Spoons, a…”
