The next generation of NOAA Alerts and NOAA Radar applications introduces enhanced integration and data presentation. This app is part of a universal purchase, allowing access across iOS, Watch OS, and Apple TV platforms with a single transaction. It provides timely and active weather alerts sourced from NOAA.

iOS Application Overview:

• Upon launching the app, alerts automatically load and are displayed in chronological order based on their date. Users can modify the sorting criterion by selecting "Importance" at the top to prioritize alerts by severity. Tapping any alert reveals detailed information.
• Navigate to the Map tab to view worldwide alerts. Users can zoom in/out and select individual alerts for detailed weather data. Alerts are dynamically loaded; a "Refresh" button is available to update the map with the latest information. Map visualization options include Normal, Satellite, Hybrid, and Flyover modes, accessible via the "Map Type" selector.
• Alert categories and filters can be customized to display all categories or specific ones. After selecting desired filters, a "Refresh" button updates the map view accordingly.
• U.S. NOAA Radar images load automatically upon app launch and refresh every ten minutes. Users can explore radar imagery over multiple states by zooming in or out. The radar overlay can be toggled on or off with the "Radar" button, and its transparency adjustable via a slider.
