What’s new
Version 3.1 · Updated September 14, 2026
Get official emergency alerts and MetService severe weather warnings — together, in one place. This release brings NEMA and MetService feeds into a single app for the first time. You can save up to three locations you care about, and choose your notifications settings to get every alert, or just the highest-severity ones. You can send yourself a test alert when you set up locations and notifications, so you know it's working - and then forget it's there until you need it. Turn on Critical Alerts in your Settings so emergency notifications get through even with Focus or Do Not Disturb on.
