About this APK

NWS Weather Alerts Widget is an app by Justdave in the Weather category, listed since at least April 2022. It includes native code for x86 32-bit, x86 64-bit, ARM 32-bit and ARM 64-bit, so it runs on practically every phone.

Since version 1.1.4, the minimum Android version rose from 4.0 to 7.0. It asks for 7 permissions, none of them sensitive. It asks for the same permissions as version 2.3.

What's new in v2.3.1

* Major overhaul of the Alert Detail screen, it now pulls some key information out of the alert and puts it in cards at the top for easy access. * Material 3 design for the main app screens. * Lots of new icons for more event types (fewer generic NWS logos!) * "Advisory" events are now orange, to indicate they're more important than a Watch (yellow) but less important than a Warning (red). * Many other changes - check the Change Log from the About screen in the app.

Description

From the listing uploaded by “appupdater”.

This is an Android home screen widget to display current weather alerts from the US National Weather Service. You can choose a county or state within the US (or the entire US) and it will display a list of all of the current weather alerts for that area on the widget. If there's more than fits, the list scrolls, and you can tap on an alert to open the full text of the alert. There is an accompanying app which can be used to configure what area you want and shows the raw feed data if you're really curious (though that part was mostly there for debugging, and might go away one of these days now that it all works). It does not currently do audible alerts (or any alerts), but that's probably coming soon. I created this because I wanted a tablet on the wall in my kitchen to display weather alerts on the screen, and for all the plethora of weather apps out there, I couldn't find one that showed anything more than a (!) icon on their widgets for alerts, and you had to click through to find out what they were. Some of them would put the alerts into the notification bar, but that wasn't much better. So this one displays a list of the current alerts right on the widget, and that is the only purpose of the widget. This application is open source.
