A good app for what it does. Unfortunately, the alerts stroll in up to 2 hours after the alert happens. So far ive missed 6 or 7 red alerts because the alerts wandered in at least a hour later. Just to be sure i have the alerts set to amber or higher.

A great app, but in a recent update you can't see the forecast map anymore, which is the main point to having the app. Also, the updates appear to be quite delayed. I would suggest a news alert service to give some more advanced warning, as often viewing points are a bit out the way.

So it looks nothing like what the screenshots show..there are no buttons to press such as "Data" or "forecast". Very basic and no instructions on how to use

Seriously need to update the app to support the new PNG ovation image...it would take literally 2 mins and not even a full line of code to change!

Please fix the link in the app to the ovation forecast .jpg picture. There is a nice little alert which tells me to change the url with the new link. This is your job as only you can change the url within the app. Very odd why you have not fixed this. Please respond to this request.

Deleted. Still no map link. Waited for months.

Nice app. Works well especially now the ovation map link has been updated
