Weather Radio by WDT: Accessible Severe Weather and Lightning Alerts on your iOS Device

Summary: <p>In this podcast, Michael Hansen demonstrates version 3.0 of <a href="http://www.applevis.com/apps/ios/weather/weather-radio-wdt">Weather Radio by WDT</a>.</p> <p>Weather Radio provides users in the U.S. with life-saving severe weather alerts directly from the National Weather Service; a subscription-based lightning alerts feature; as well as detailed conditions and 7-day and hourly weather forecasts. Weather Radio was recently redesigned and updated to version 3.0, and the developers made accessibility a priority in the new release.</p> <p>In the podcast, Michael demonstrates Weather Radio's different features--including the lightning proximity feature--and also provides a workaround to the one accessibility issue he found with the app. While not mentioned in the podcast, some users have reported that the app freezes on the setup screen; to fix this, community members have had success closing Weather Radio in the App Switcher and reopening it--repeating this process two or three times if necessary.</p> <p><a href="https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/weather-radio-by-wdt/id413511993?mt=8&amp;ign-mpt=uo%3D8&amp;at=11l4LS">Link to Weather Radio by WDT in the App Store</a></p>
