Alerts add personal and daily relevance to your app, keeping users engaged with your brand. Weather alerts are among the highest regarded notification types because of their impact on planning and preparedness.

Native notifications
Leverage the existing Apple (APNS) and Google (FCM) alerting systems. No installation of additional alerting systems required.

Alert moderation
The service includes logic to avoid over-alerting a particular end user in the event of multiple lightning strikes in the vicinity or cases where significant weather remains in that user’s area.

Wide variety of notification types

• 166 NWS and Environment Canada Alert types
• Lightning alerts for approaching and close strikes
• Precipitation alerts include type, severity, arrival time, and duration
• Ad hoc alerts sent from a web UI to notify all users of events with broad relevance such as large weather system warnings that affect all users

Location-based notifications
Alerts can be pinpointed to multiple specific locations and provide local details. The service can also provide “follow me” functionality that alerts users of local events as they move about the area.

Alert sound options
Alerts can be set as tones or voice messages. Users can select their preferences for how they receive this pertinent information
