  • Very good....

    But inconsistent in loading.
  • A REALLY powerful upgrade

    Already liked the previous version which had been used by local EMS and Fire Dept to allocate resources. This new update has many more layers and customizable options for any given area as well as the flexibility for world-wide travel. Lots of info provided in real time.
  • Update not as good as older version

    This is harder to navigate on
  • New data, new features

    I really like the new version. Offers a lot more data. And new ways to use it. Including animation and Hazard Brief. Works great on my iPhone and iPad. (For those that found it difficult to use, look at the Tips. Helpful.). Thanks PDC!
  • Changes make app to cumbersome

    Have used the app for years, very informative! Keeps me abreast of natural disasters around the world. Now this New and improved (?) app opens to a glob of icons, requiring massive zooming to try and locate the alert just received. Then switching to the text of the alerts keeps part of the map showing, requiring you to search the larger text boxes for what you are looking for. That made the app more cumbersome to use.

  • New updated app is Lousy Design

    The newly updated app is at best the worst design possible. The earlier app ver was basic but simple and clearly organized. This app is an absolute mess and is fit to be taken down. Apple’s threshold for app performance is now apparently really low. The app on iphone 6 causes the screen to shrink both from the top and bottom. There is no “Settings” menu. I cannot even now revert to the old version. Crap.

  • Upgrade issues

    Just upgraded (20 Nov 2018) and the intro page just sits there. Restarted tablet (IPad Pro) just in case and same issue.
  • Best app ever

    It’s sample it’s the best app ever
  • Pretty Map, Questionable Data

    This app has a nice world map that shows different types of disasters around the world.

    Two big fails that you may or may not care about;
    1. Incomplete data. Apparently the volcano in Hawaii didn’t qualify as a disaster. Three high wind/storm warnings: check! Volcano: 0.

    2. This thing is spammy on the alerts. To be fair there are a lot of disasters going on in the world every single day. IOS 12 will bring alert grouping, maybe they’re counting on that. Or perhaps it’s to encourage people to subscribe ($$$) to the premium alert feature to prioritize daily alerts in areas of interest you select?

    Fix the data quality issues and I’d pay a couple bucks for this app, but a subscription? Heck no!

  • Frozen tip page bug

    I too am having the same issue with the app freezing on the tip page
    Is a ‘fix’ intended to be released?
