Overall, I'm very impressed with this app. It is very accessible. It does notify you when there is an alert for a city you are watching and you can watch 5 I believe. You can read or hear the warnings & forecasts. In the FAQ they tell you that you may occasionally need to close it int he App switcher & restart if it isn't ab le to get data. I've had to do that once but then all was well. Whether it's worth $10 probably depends on a variety of personal factors, but it does what it says it does & does it accessibly. So if a weather radio style app is what you want, this will probably do the trick.
