For me I cannot be bothered with yet another account for something. ### 2/5 — Was great until excepted to sign in each time the app updates *2025-12-14, version 1.3.6* Painful when you are away from home and required to sign in again and can not remember my password. Also live in high risk bush fire region and when not getting alerts because they have an update. Poor for an alert system Now unable to sign in on my iPad after update and no support available ### 2/5 — Won’t load *2025-07-20, version 1.3.6* Takes forever for the app to open - that’s if it even opens at all. Needs fixing asap - super annoying ### 3/5 — Not working *2025-01-27, version 1.3.6* This has been the best app so far but stopped working 10 days ago ### 2/5 — Don’t do update *2024-12-01, version 1.3.6* Since last update the app just freezes and won’t load - times out ### 2/5 — Not Up To Date *2024-11-19, version 1.3.6* Map is not always up to date, you can miss out on alerts and notifications. Sometimes it won’t update for hours. Besides that when it’s working it’s a good app for getting notifications about incidents in your area. ### 2/5 — App has issues *2024-10-06, version 1.3.6* I always seem to get logged out and this time around I can’t even login/register again to uses it. Very unfortunate as there’s currently fires near me and I can’t even get on to check. I will say when the app is functioning I do find it useful, it’s just a same that’s rarely. ### 2/5 — Full of bugs. *2024-09-23, version 1.3.6* Even though all toggles for planned & permit burns are turned off, I receive multiple notifications every day and all day. Impossible to stop these types of notifications. Also no way of changing email address once your account is set up. So if you have to change your email you have to delete the app. ! Some features are great such as user set zones. ### 2/5 — Ok but buggy *2023-11-16, version 1.3.6* It’s a great app that can send push notifications for warning areas you can customise but it keeps crashing and is slow to load. Needs a good update ### 3/5 — IOS17 *2023-10-16, version 1.3.6* Any plans to update for IOS17 compatibility Since IOS update app closes on opening fairly frequently. Once open it can lock up. ### 3/5 — Drains your phones battery *2022-03-09, version 1.3.6* Drains your phones battery, even when not actively using the app. Otherwise it is a useful tool. ### 2/5 — Alert2me *2021-12-23, version 1.3.6* Comes up in a foreign language all of a sudden and I cannot change it back to English. Useless app! ### 3/5 — A great but buggy app *2021-03-02, version 1.2.5* Every couple of updates, it deletes all data and requires you to register/log in again. This make the app unusable until you do this. ### 2/5 — Cannot log in.... *2021-01-12, version 1.2.3* Will not accept my email or password after registering ...shame. .come on guys get this sorted! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — No update in 4 yrs? *2025-07-05, version 1.3.6* What’s the point of having an app that hasn’t been updated in 4 years?! It’s slow as, never remembers watch zones and times out. ### 1/5 — Disappointed ‼️ *2024-06-24, version 1.3.6* It’s June 2024 and this app has not been updated since 2021. Pft 🙄 ### 1/5 — Mobile Number *2023-11-23, version 1.3.6* The app wont send me the OTP to active my mobile number for alerts ### 1/5 — Worried *2023-09-24, version 1.3.6* I deleted the app. When checking an alert, the list and settings disappeared and another persons name appeared in place of mine and the postcode location also changed. Almost like I have been hacked. So much for security! ### 1/5 — Can’t verify *2022-10-31, version 1.3.6* Put in name and address, pressed register. Put in the verification code and nothing happens. There is no submit button. ### 1/5 — Personal Details Required? No Way! *2022-08-23, version 1.3.6* Great idea for app, but no way I’ll enter personal details to set up. Bye Bye ### 1/5 — Waste of time - app hangs *2021-02-03, version 1.2.4* App keeps hanging Cant enter text No keyboard pops up Super annoying Waste of time ### 1/5 — Privacy concern *2021-02-03, version 1.2.4* I am not sure why they required all your personal details when the app works purely on the location of your phone matched against a map of current situations. I am not happy providing an unknown company all my personal details when they dont need them. I will not be using this app ### 1/5 — Madness to require update *2021-02-01, version 1.2.4* Get an emergency notification. App won’t work until you update. AppStore data is off. User panics. Yes, this happened. ### 1/5 — Potential is there *2021-01-04, version 1.2.2* But I can’t get past the registration page. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Excellent *2024-12-21, version 1.3.6* I've been using this app for some time & I find it excellent, it warns me of anything happening in my watch zone & I've not had any issues with it. ### 5/5 — Kaylee *2021-01-14, version 1.2.3* By far the most straight forward app to use or to quickly find relevant data. 👍 ### 5/5 — Great app! *2021-01-03, version 1.2.2* The app is very helpful and totally free🥰. ### 5/5 — Watch zones are great *2020-01-03, version 1.0.5* This app really helps me to stay informed of emergency incidents. Having watch zones set up around my house and those of my family I can get notified of incidents close by. Great app! ### 5/5 — Many Thanks *2019-12-21, version 1.0.4* This app is useful & help me tracking events around me really great. ### 4/5 — App Overall but Problem *2024-10-06, version 1.3.6* Good App great for Notifications, I went to check it this morning and it has signed me out I am choosing “click here to agree to our Terms and Conditions” and I am getting a message on my screen saying “Error connect ECONNREFUSED 192.168.2.112:6432 or “Error Unable to Download config data ### 4/5 — New update no alerts to Apple Watch *2022-06-13, version 1.3.6* Watch alerts have been rectified. ### 4/5 — Quite Good! *2022-02-25* This app is very helpful for emergencies! ### 4/5 — BillCobbett *2020-02-28, version 1.0.8* Currently the best app of it’s type the market. ### 3/5 — Ok but app logs me out randomly *2025-03-22, version 1.3.6* Useful app but I wish you could set preferences to not see certain alarms. Also the app logs me out randomly. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
