Weather Radio Day is Thursday May 19th

Weather radio’s can be life saver, especially after what we have seen this spring with the tornado outbreaks across the south. Smartphones though are quickly replacing this weather radio and now there’s an app that does exactly just that.

Now this app normally coast $9.99 and even at that price I would highly recommend it, but for one day only it’s free. They are only giving out 100,000 of these so get in their quick starting at 5:00am.

Here’s the link for more information on the app for iphone, ipod and ipad.

Android is coming soon.

  Not only can iMapWeather Radio follow your current location, but it lets you save an additional 5 stationary locations. That means you can make sure friends and family, at school, out of state, at a ballgame, etc. are safe as well..

• Battery Management

  The app is designed to conserve your battery even though it uses GPS to give you alerts for your current location. We can’t give away our secret sauce, just know we are careful to lijmit the GPS usage and we are dynamically able to reduce the usage to help extend battery life.
