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.

    Settings consist only of manually setting your location. It did find the alerts in my area but I have no idea if or how it will notify me of future alerts. Uninstalled. Update: My bad for not seeing the part of the description about no notifications. Would be a 5star app if it did. A very simple/lightweight free notifier is needed. Thanks to the developer for their contribution!

    i like the concept, i wanted a widget that would actively show warnings. but, it doesn't work that well. i will get a warning on another system, and then i could wait up to an hour before this thing shows that warning. if i do have something, such as an advisory, and it turns into a warning, it won't update itself. sometimes i have to go into the program to see if the warning is even there, and right now it is, but the widget still shows the expired warning. it doesn't prioritize the importance of the warning either. it does it by date order. so if you have the 3x1 widget, it shows the last message and not the main one. so like it could say - there is a slippery ice advisory, but hide the warning of a blizzard on the way. more so, it takes a lot of space on the desktop. there is no reason to take up that much space, the text at the top can be smaller. they can fit more warnings if the tabs were half the height. -- i'm bumping this to a 4 since the creator did write back, and it might be an issue with my phone. since it does work at least some of the time. i still think it should be a bit smaller looking.

    Inconsistent. Can't switch between states easily. I rely on this but found I can't. Have to uninstall and then reinstall. Not what I expected.

    Thanks for the quick update due to the NWS change (faster than USPS package delivery).

    EDIT: I'm kicking this up to 5 stars, because after an immediate reply from the author and a quick explanation, it does work as intended. It just requires a little configuration to get around the OS's Doze feature. In Nougat, -Settings > Battery > Unmonitored Apps > Add apps- find this widget, and add it. This prevents the Doze feature from turning off the app's monitoring, and it works fine after that. It isn't a battery hog either, as it's averaging 0% usage per hour over the last 24 hours, so nothing to worry about on that front. It'd be nice not to have to jump through hoops like that, but I think this is more a case of an over aggressive OS rather than the app itself. ORIGINAL REVIEW: Decent. Looks good and should be exactly what I want, but the widget won't seem to update in real time. Widget showed no alerts despite knowing there are several in effect. Deleted the widget and put back on my home page, viola, several flood alerts.

    Only thing I would love is being able to see where alerts were on a map but I do like being able to keep up on current weather events.
