It's nice to get alerts of any sort. I received them on my stock messaging app. But not able to receive them on this app. It's a really nice feature.. sometimes your out an about or at work etc. and nowhere near a tv or radio to hear the weather conditions or other alerts etc. So getting these alerts are very helpful in such situations. Nice to be prepared and aware!! (Ex: If you need to stop running errands an get home or whats to come when you get off work etc. Please add this feature!!! Thanks : )
