I drove across the desert to Las Vegas this afternoon into a group of thunderheads starting around Barstow. Not only did Weather Radio wake up to the EAS FFW's being issued, but it was faster response than Storm, Intellicast, ABCLA, and several others running in GPS Follow Me mode. The only service to beat Weather Radio was the built-in EAS Emergency Alerts built into the phones. It was probably 10 seconds ahead of even Weather Radio.
And when I arrived in town.. Downpour, flooded streets, great light show, and more coming from the east. The FFW's were being issued about every 30min all afternoon.

So how's your smartphone battery? Holding up OK?

Ideally, and eventually, we may have an app that tells us the exact path, duration and intensity of a tornado; but when I think of the complexity of such a prediction, I think it probably won't happen in my lifetime. There are simply too many variables and we don't even understand or have the data on most of them.
Weather prediction is not perfect yet. Being warned and prepared is good but, you still don't know where the storm is going to go and you can't perfectly avoid it.

We use Storm and find it very accurate and helpful.
It never cease to amaze me (esp. on this forum) that folks who use 4+ wheel conveyances and reside in 2+ wheel mobile-houses, both of which include man-centuries of science/technology/engineering/manufacturing progress ***** about other folks using all this 'newfangled technology'.

Why don't people just look outside
and at the sky????

Both programs are hyper local and will give you warnings for only the area you are currently in with no need for programming. They are based on your GPS location and run in the background.
Ideally, an app that would send warnings (depending on my location) as I drive. ie Tornado Warnings.
Thanks,
