WPVI-TV Philadelphia. With 6abc StormTracker, when threatening weather is nearby your phone can be set to alert you!

Weather alerts are read aloud for you so you don’t have to stop to read the screen. It’s the power of a NOAA Weather Radio combined with the accuracy of AccuWeather and 6abc Philadelphia all in one convenient app! There’s no other app like it.

With the FOLLOW ME feature you’ll stay safe when you’re on the go. 6abc StormTracker can alert you to severe weather wherever you are – whether you’re on your daily commute in the Philadelphia area, or travelling anywhere across the U.S.

Now you can submit your own weather reports! Snap a photo or shoot a video and place it on the interactive map so others can see what the weather is like in your area. Plus, share a fun photo or video weather postcard with your friends or family! Snap a shot, shoot a video and add a caption — that’s it and you’re ready to share it on social media or e-mail.

The 6abc StormTracker is fully interactive; Zoom down to get a street level view of live conditions. And of course, get current conditions, hourly and long-term forecasts right at your fingertips.

FEATURES:

* Follow Me – Activate this feature so that you get weather alerts wherever you are, anywhere in the U.S. No matter where you travel, the app will help keep you safe.

* Set a static location – In addition to the Follow Me feature, you can set three (3) additional locations to receive alerts on. So if you’re on the road, you could still get alerts for what’s threatening your home, or where a loved one lives.

* Audio alerts – Listen to weather alerts just like a NOAA Weather Radio, so you can be informed and keep moving.

* Submit your own weather reports: Pick a weather condition and add a photo and your weather report will show up on the interactive map for others to see!

* Weather postcards: Snap a pic and add a caption, and share it with your friends or family!

* Current Conditions, Hourly Forecasts and 7 Day Forecasts.

* Video forecasts and live weather video (when available).

Pros and cons of 6abc StormTracker app for iPhone and iPad

6abc StormTracker app good for

Its nice, but an iPad version would be ideal. Ive only seen this on a friends phone as there are no iPhones in the family. We only have iPads. Please make it happen. Would love to use your service. :3

This is one of the apps I used almost everyday. Only problem is it is not compatible with the most resent IOS update and no longer works.

Some bad moments

Very basic app. Gives you pictures like a sun or cloud. Radar is off. I had a TStorm go through and it showed light green on radar. Would recommend weather underground for real weather info.

Information is never up to date with their own live weather forecasts. They need to update their app info more often.

I like the audio alerts But even with the volume all the way up Its a little hard to hear Just need to crank up the Volume a little bit

This app has a lot of nice features and looks and works great. But even after closing all of my open applications, my location is still being tracked. When I went to my privacy settings and looked under location, THIS APP was the source of my location always being tracked. Talk about battery drain and no privacy! I will be removing this app until this bug is fixed.

Looks great, works great, and after a quick run-through it seems very fast and responsive. Video loaded fast! The only CON is that the extended forecast is different than the new Action News App. Like completely different forecasts. UPDATE: Down from 5 stars to 3 stars. this thing is a battery hog. Deleting and will use weather in regular Action News app.

Great APP! 6ABC is the best. The news staff sticks by product. I think its the best thing since slice bread. Keep up the good work 6ABC. What are you guys working on next? Whatever it might be. Its going to be another success.
