5/5This worked great
I signed up for the WPDE Weather app when I went to a hurricane preparedness meeting with ed Pietrowski in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina . I spend half my time in SC and half my time on Long Island. I was getting alerts tonight severe thunderstorm. I assumed it’s was for Myrtle till I started hearing the loud boom. to my surprise. it follows me anywhere I go excellent.

2/5Please fix the alerts!!
Since the update I’m alerted constantly (especially with the weather this week) with no consistency and no options other than to have the alerts on or off. I don’t need to be alerted to lightning 12 miles away for that it will start raining in 10 minutes even though it’s already raining. Can you change the alerts to a certain timeframe (rain) or distance (lightning) so my phone isn’t going off so often? Please and thank you!

5/5My weather go too
I really like this app it keeps me updated with the weather and lets me know how to plan my days I really like the fact that it sends me messages when lightning is close to our area

5/5The same as WMBF, but better!!!
This is the same as the WMBF app but better; let me explain. So first off (and my favorite) NO ADS BEFORE THE VIDEOS!!! Secondly, more user friendly, and 3rd the graphics are much better.

5/5Not A Review
Can my iPhone be set to give me important alerts even when my automatic Do Not Disturb setting is on? Sorry this is not a review. But WPDE is awesome so I’m giving them 5 stars! Ed Piotrowski is the man!
