About Simple Weather Alert APK
Table Of Contents
Description
Don't be surprised by the weather again!This app runs in the background and monitors the official National Weather Service (NWS) alerts for your area. New alerts will appear on the status bar, and by selecting it, you can read the details.
You can also choose how urgent of a notification to get, based on the NWS Severity. An Extreme alert coming through? Then you'd probably like vibrate, lights AND bell for that! But a simple Wind Warning? Probably not as much. You can choose the level of response in the preferences.
Simple Weather Alert allows you to monitor one location for NWS alerts. If you want to monitor more locations (including locations that move with you), then consider purchasing Pro Weather Alert.
Simple Weather Alert Features:
+ Monitor NWS weather alerts for your area
+ Choose how to be notified (lights, bell, vibrate)
+ Modify notification based on NWS severity (go crazy for extreme alerts, such as Tornado Warning)
+ Alerts keep updated automatically as long as you have connectivity
+ Browse the alert list when there are multiple alerts, and read the details and instructions for the 2 MOST SEVERE alerts, as well as any EXTREME alerts.
+ An app widget added to your home screen allows for easy on/off toggling of lights, vibrate and sound settings. The alerts will still be checked and put on your status bar though, so you can keep an eye on it during class or church, without it causing distraction.
+ Key words and phrases list. Create a list of words or phrases, and when an alert is received that contains those words or phrases, it will be marked in the alerts list with an icon, and the phrases will be highlighted when you read the alert details.
+ Email an alert to friends or send via text message (requires Contacts List permission), so they can be warned as well.
+ Post an alert on Facebook or your Twitter feed, to get the word out fast.
+ Input your location by city, county, zip code, or let the app find your phone location by GPS or network location providers.

An explanation of permissions: The SMS and Contacts List permission are required so you can send an alert to someone via text message. The contacts list permission allows for easier selecting of the number.
IMPORTANT: While we take all possible precautions to make sure this app will get you critical alerts on time, the unforseen can still occur, as well as simple cell/network outages. Thus, we do not recommend that you ever rely on this app ALONE for tornado warnings. Please use this app along with other methods to ensure you are alerted in time.
NOTE: If you are certain the app is not sending you the alerts it should, please use Menu:Troubleshooting to send us debug info about it so we can work to resolve it quickly.
If you run into any other issues with this app or have questions, send us a note in the Menu:Troubleshooting screen. Also, visit the developers blog on our website for a list of current issues we are addressing.
Thank you!

Questions & Answers
Q: What is an APK File?
A: Just like Windows (PC) systems use an .exe file for installing software, Android does the same. An APK file is the file format used for installing software on the Android operating system.
Q: If I install an APK from this website, will I be able to update the app from the Play Store?
A: Yes, absolutely. The Play Store installs APKs it downloads from Google's servers, and sideloading from a site like ApkClean.net goes through a very similar process, except you're the one performing the downloading and initiating the installation (sideloading).
As soon as the Play Store finds a version of the app newer than the one you've sideloaded, it will commence an update.
Q: Why ApkClean.net can guarantee APK 100% safe?
A: Whenever someone wants to download an APK file from ApkClean.net, we'll check the corresponding APK file on Google Play and allow user download it directly (of course, we'll cache it on our server). If the APK file does not exist on Google Play, we'll search it in our cache.
Q: What are Android App permissions?
A: Apps require access to certain systems within your device. When you install an application, you are notified of all of the permissions required to run that application.

User's Reivew
1 ★I can't trust this app any more. It was "offline" for days because it said something about not having a connection. Really?? It might not have had WIFI but cell data was certainly on, with a good internet connection. Running Galaxy S7 Verizon with Android 7 Nougat. Developers don't respond to email, comments. IS THIS APP DEAD?
5 ★It's never failed me. I've been using it a long time and have never had any issues. There's nothing fancy. Simply weather alerts that you can modify settings for.
5 ★10/4/16. Have used this app for yrs but lately wondering if this app stopped working? There was severe weather lasy night and more expected tonight yet no alerts.
1 ★This was a paid app that worked great for a while. It hasn't been updated to keep up with the times. Unreliable now. Sad.
1 ★I used to love this app. It continues to say network unavailable and stop giving updates. I thought they had fixed it, but it continues to stop working after a few updates.
5 ★Great app. Just make sure to see if it needs to be updated when error occurs. I've had this app for two years now. I always wake up to it when needed to be. 😊
3 ★Used to work just fine, but now it just keeps saying "An error occurred contacting the NWS feed"
1 ★Used to work perfectly but it hasn't worked in over 3 months. Luckily I found this out before severe weather hit
4 ★To All: In order to restore functionality... 1) go to Troubleshooting 2) select Ignore Network State 3) wait a few minutes & presto
5 ★As a FL resident this app is a MUST HAVE... It definitely does just what it says it does... This is the second phone I've had this app on and I wouldn't be without it
2 ★This used to be the best free severe whether notification app out there. I used to get notifications instantly after the nws issued them. And particularly important to me because I live in a trailer park. What happened? This used too be the best whether notification app out there. Edit: I reinstalled, and worked for a bit, then stopped working. Developer seems to have abandoned this. Too bad, was a great app. Edit 2: Essentially every time you restart your phone, and possible other circumstances (like an app manager shuts down the program) it won't work any more unless you reinstall it. So i guess it still works kinda? Sad though, was a great app.
1 ★All I get is an error occurred contacting nws feed. Luckily I have a weather app that also sends me alerts otherwise I wouldn't be aware of the warnings. Uninstalled
