Storm Shield Description

★★ A TOP-RATED APP IN iTUNES ★★Storm Shield is "a detail-rich app for weather bugs, with an emphasis on smart, active, automatic alerts for severe weather... Its ability to pinpoint data to your location could literally be a life-saver." - reviews.cnet.comTurn your iOS device into an emergency weather radio. Get storm-based alerts for tornado, hurricane, flood, thunderstorm and other life-threatening weather events via voice and push notification.★★ HOW WEATHER ALERTS WORK ★★➤ Storm Shield uses new precise storm-based alerts, whereas traditional county-based alerts (what you usually see on TV) can result in people at one end of a county receiving alerts for weather that will not impact them.➤ If your current or saved locations fall inside a NWS watch or warning box, you would receive an alert from Storm Shield.➤ If your locations are outside a watch or warning box (even though you may be in the storm and the county), you would not receive a warning from Storm Shield.➤ If you receive alert from another service, but not from Storm Shield, check the alert type overlay on the interactive map to see if your location (as compared to your county) is affected.★★ WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING ★★➤ "Storm Shield is like having a sophisticated weather radio on your iPhone." - The Unofficial Apple Weblog➤ "During the roughest part of the storm I was constantly getting push messages to my iPhone and iPad... Thanks for developing this amazing app!" - Joe C.➤ "I love this app because it finds your location... GREAT APP! Someone did what was needed, well worth the small price of it!" - Tina A. ★★ BATTERY LIFE ★★➤ Storm Shield is designed to make a negligible impact on your battery. The app never actually uses GPS. It uses Apple's Location Services, which can be turned on/off.There is one known exception - iPhone 3 when running iOS 4.0+ does not honor the use of Apple's Location Services so it will use GPS. This could result in significant battery drain. Users on iPhone 3G running iOS 4.0+ should turn off Location Services in Settings when it's not needed.★★ BATTERY TIPS ★★➤ Turn off Location Tracking and instead set one of your five locations to where you are most often.➤ Throttle up or down Storm Shield's Location Tracking to balance between location accuracy and battery life.★★ KEY FEATURES ★★➤ INTERACTIVE RADAR MAP: See Hurricane and Tropical Storm forecast tracks.➤ MAP OVERLAYS: See where on the map watches and warnings are issued by switching between map overlays.➤ FOLLOW ME: Get alerts no matter where you are in the United States. ➤ FRIENDS AND FAMILY: Save FIVE additional locations to make sure friends and family at home, work, or out of state stay safe.➤ AUDIO ALERTS: Voice alerts can wake you in the middle of the night or give you information when you can't stop to look at your phone.➤ LOCAL INFO: If you live in a Scripps market, your app will be customized with additional local news and info to keep you ahead of the storm. Use your partner code (if provided), or search for your city or zip code, to activate local weather info.➤ LIVE VIDEO: Watch live video streams where available from select Scripps markets.Storm Shield is made possible by Scripps local television stations and newspapers.
