I installed this app when Weather Radio was no longer supported on the latest Android OS. One thing it did that your app doesn't do is announce an alert even when my phone was set on Mute. That was great because I mute my phone when I am sleeping. I noticed that the Alarm on my phone's Clock will sound even when muted, so there must be some way to bypass the phone's mute setting. Otherwise, it's a great app.

Excellent app, deserves much higher rating as everything works great. It works well when using TalkBack, no accessibility issues. My only wish is a way to just donate a few dollars for continued development. The pro version is more than I can spend on an app right now but would happily send a one time $5 if I could. I got notified about a Winter Advisory in 2 days from this app before my local tv station sent anything.

Thanks for making the ripple edit slider remember it's position! Had some wind alerts yesterday and worked just as expected. Comparing alert times to IEMBot, at least with the phone screen on it took less than 30 seconds, which seems great to me and comparable to WEA as I remember enough of a delay being able to confirm I was in a polygon from IEMBot before it was sent to my phone via WEA. With the screen off, I didn't time it in seconds, but the notification timestamp and IEMBot's timestamp were a minute different, which could be also within 30 seconds. Even if it was a minute, I think the delay would be caused by my phone (or Android). I added the app to my phone's battery optimization ignore list since then just in case that was a problem. I am also glad to hear that you are already working on something similar to the hazard tag feature I suggested, and will be looking forward to it and any other features to make it even more customizable, because after that this was what my idea of a perfect weather radio was on the software side.

Thanks for the feedback! It's awesome you mentioned the hazard tags because something very similar is already in the works, just waiting for an opportunity to test it. And the ripple edit persistance is a good idea too!
