Completely USELESS

App hasn’t been updated in 2 years. Additionally, many of the basic functions, such as adding a home or work address, do not work & users encounter errors throughout the entire application. They either need a Dev Team on this or CAN IT!

100% Broken

Was a five star spp, now can’t even save locations to monitor. New state administration pulling $ to give to illegal aliens, huh?

No alerts

Too bad this app does not work. I never get alerts from it. Even last night when freeway was closed for over 100 miles due to snowstorm.

App no longer works

It used to be good, but now I can’t even save locations to get alerts.
WWTFO?!

Broken

Doesn’t allow you to save a location to track. Looks like last update was 2 years ago. I guess they abandoned the all. Too bad.
