  • Scared Me To Death

    I understand that it was supposed to send you alerts but it was 3 in the morning when they sent a red flag warning in my area 💀✋ Like, okay but its 3 in morning and gave me a heart attack for a second. Overall, its not completely accurate but its good- it shows that it works and attempts to keep you alerted, it definitely did get me alerted! Would recommend

  • MUST HAVE!!!

    This is a must have app, it has come in handy numerous times. whether it be here in my own home or other family members throughout the state. when the alert comes in, I know that this app is giving me accurate information, and warnings so I can protect my family and alert others. this app all so provides useful information so you are ready and prepared for the moments when protecting yourself and others is called into action.

  • Cries wolf too often

    The entire west coast is rated as having “fire weather” which means the app goes off repeatedly all day and all night. There isn’t an actual fire however just the potential. You can’t shut it off and I’m at the point of deleting the app because I don’t need to be woken up four to five times a night by and app telling me it’s hot out.

  • Same Exact Message 4-10 Times In a Row

    Seriously frustrating to have the constant interruption of this continual notification about the same thing. Even if you go to the App and read the message, it continually interrupts sending one after the next. So annoying. I have already reported this and they responded but it continues. Have to get rid of this app very soon as it’s overwhelming. It continually goes off even if my phone is turned off.

    It would be ideal if once the consumer responded, the app would stop sending multiple notifications. If I’m swiping it off of my screen it means I have read the notification why does it keep coming on and on. tonight I actually hit 10 times even though I kept pushing it away and even went to the app to look at it continue to notify me even though I was on the app. Annoying

  • WAS ok...

    ... until this latest update. The programmers clearly took over with no forethought or oversight as to what is actually needed in an emergency. First and foremost: SIMPLICITY. Fewer taps is better. Less BUSY is better. Less clutter is better- if I have this app, I already know how to prepare! Get rid of that crap, or AT THE VERY LEAST, let me! Also, how do I delete alerts I've already read??? I shouldn't have ask. I will be moving on unless these issues are addressed in short order...

  • It was a wonderful app but not any more.

    I don’t understand why there is a limit on the number of locations that can be monitored. I use to really like this app for three reasons. One, there was no limit on the locations you could monitor. And for a storm Spotter like myself, that was great. All other apps had limits on locations. Two, the alerts were full text bulletins. Three, the alerts were timely. I’ve removed this app, however, if the app is set back to the way it was, I’ll give it a try. I did like that the locations were in alphabetical order that was great and should be kept but there should be no limits on locations. If you don’t have an app to monitor alerts don’t put restrictions and tie peoples hands. Now please fix it back the way it was this is ridiculous.

  • What Happened?!?

    This app used to be awesome. There wasn’t a limit on how many areas I could monitor. I used to be able to monitor very specific areas and attach contact info of the people I knew who lived in these areas. NOW, I can only monitor 5 general areas, no contacts, the alerts don’t work. It’s like what’s the point? Why is this app even taking up real estate on my devices?

    Please roll back two or three years to what this app used to be. I get better info from the standard weather app at this point.

  • Good work

    I give it four stars because it is an extraordinary application but you need to make the sound more terrifying I know this sounds bad but it needs to be done nevertheless it’s overall amazing good job!
  • Poorly organized

    There are too many screens and too many options. I wanted something simple that would alert me to severe weather in my area. It took me several minutes just to find the screen where I could select the alerts I’m interested in. I still haven’t found the “overlays” mentioned in the description. Too comprehensive equals not useful.

  • Used to be useful…

    …But has gotten intrusive and annoying lately. The app now has a gray bar on the locations screen that says:

    Critical Alerts Disabled
    Learn more to never miss an alert

    …That leads to unhelpful, irrelevant FAQs if you tap it, even though I have all alerts enabled and push notifications. There is no way to dismiss this gray bar or even understand why it is there.

    Furthermore, it made me choose a "home" location for no discernible reason when I opened the app today, even though I monitor several locations. Creepy and made more suspect when the app asks for camera permissions when you try to attach a screenshot in their feedback form, and fails to attach and disables the attachment button if camera permissions are not granted.

    Worst of all, the alert notifications do not display a location, so you have to tap them or open the app to find out where the incident is. A huge, unnecessary pain for people like me that monitor multiple locations, as the app encourages you to do.

    If I hear back from the development team I will update this review, but for now, three stars is generous.
