On modern versions on Android (9+), it is possible for you to configure your device's settings to allow SW+ Alerts audio notifications to override Do Not Disturb when it's activated. (This does not apply to silenced devices, so you must still have audio turned on.)
From within the StormWatch+ app with an active subscription to SW+ Alerts, tap the Settings button on the Active Alerts card.
Tap "Send Test Notification," which should test your device to make sure your settings are correct and send you a test push notification. On the bottom of that test screen, tap "Go To Settings App."
This takes you to your phone's settings for the StormWatch+ app. You should see your device's app notifications options for StormWatch+. Tap "SW+ Alerts: Wake Me Up alerts" or "Channel with custom sound" and scroll to the bottom.
You will see "Ignore Do Not Disturb." Turn this ON.
Wake-me-up alerts sent by SW+ Alerts will now sound even if Do Not Disturb is activated on your device.
If the "Ignore Do Not Disturb" option does not appear
You probably have one of the most versions of Android OS that have moved this control. In this case, open your phone's Settings app and tap the Notifications category, then Do Not Disturb.
Select "App notifications" and you will see a list of apps that allowed during Do Not Disturb. If StormWatch+ is not there, tap the + for "Add apps." Scroll through your available apps and select StormWatch+, then tap Done. Your screen should look like this (with other apps possibly listed as well).
Wake-me-up alerts sent by SW+ Alerts will now sound even if Do Not Disturb is activated on your device.
