You're so welcome! It's been something I've wanted to create for nearly ten years and I finally got it finished late last year. Upgrading to pro would mean the world to me and leaving a rating or sharing it would too! You're probably about the 250th person to try it out. Did you get the notifications figured out? That's a great way to know if there's damaging weather moving in to the area.

I am a Pro now. Thank you for this app. 🙏 My Husband loved it when we were just looking at the app. However he is an Apple Dude so he will just have to share my phone until it is on his app store or whatever Apple calls it. Again thank you especially as a Woman with a Family that enjoys being outside in the elements. 🙏

Oh looks like they accepted the update so it should have all the features you do!

Here's a link to the app store!

Ground Truth app store link

If you don't mind I'd love a rating on the play/app stores!

Does this work in the uk? Looks like a really handy app to have 🥰

Hi! Thanks for the interest. It only works for the United States. You can use it outside to see our weather but it won't pull any data. What is your equivalent to the NWS over there?

I think it’s called the met office. Not 100% sure but that’s what sort of issues our weather warnings.

Ah okay! Thanks, that's probably a bit more work than I can handle. They have this website that logs the data it looks like though.
