I love this app. I travel for work and not familiar with all areas. However, you use to be able to set a radius or specific miles away from your location. Now Im getting tornado warnings that are not near me in the middle of the night while sleeping for areas I have locations set in. These warnings are for places over an hour away. Please brimg back the ability to set ranges. I have also went in a turned off/modified alerts and it doesnt save my preferences. This needs to be fixed also.

I hopevthis works as well as the orher one. About saved my life. edit05/25/25 sigh, I hope it improves Im seeing NWS issuing Tornado warnings being released on other apps 2 minutes faster. I really miss the perimeter warning the user could set. That gave me security I just can't find anywhere else . for now I have to stay awake every night. Now that NOAH and others are deemed not essential, I don't expect things to get better anytime soon. Thanks for trying.

When I first downloaded this app a year or so ago, I loved it. I put my family's location and my location in and set a radius. I got alerts perfectly and well in advance. More recently, I am not getting any alerts. Just had a severe thunderstorm in both of my set areas, one area even had hail and not a single alert. The app even showed it was clear and not raining which is obviously inaccurate. What did you change? Your recent changes have obviously messed things up. Please fix this ASAP.
