## What is CodeRED Mobile Alert?

Thousands of public safety organizations across the United States and Canada use the CodeRED community notification system to initiate emergency notifications.  The CodeRED Mobile Alert app enables subscribers to receive these notifications directly to their personal cell phone whether at home, on the road, or traveling around the country. Alerts are initiated by authorized public safety officials to deliver location-based notifications and are not issued by OnSolve or its staff.  
Free alerts available*
       -  Emergency
       -  Community 
       -  Missing persons

*PLEASE NOTE: If the public safety agency covering your current location is not subscribed to the CodeRED service, you will not receive alerts through this application. If your city or state does not currently subscribe to CodeRED, contact your local public safety organization today to let them know your community would benefit from this service.
Helpful hints:
• Enable location services on your phone.
• The app also features the ability to view local radar footage for the past hour and satellite imagery of the previous 24 hours. 
• The CodeRED Mobile Alert app comes with CodeRED Mobile Weather Alerts that automatically notifies U.S.-based subscribers of severe weather.

### 1/5 — CodeRed

*2025-10-15, version 5.1.42*

Can't login to the app.I even registered & still can't login.

### 1/5 — Complete waste of time

*2025-09-28, version 5.1.41*

The app claims there’s an alert but shows no information, sign up was confusing and annoying and had to do it twice which was weird. Don’t bother with it.

### 1/5 — Alerts not showing

*2025-09-04, version 5.1.40*

It keeps saying how many alerts but nothing opens

### 1/5 — Unable to open alerts

*2025-08-09, version 5.1.40*

Unable to open alerts. I have sent messages with no response. Fires in my area.

### 1/5 — Brick

*2025-07-29, version 5.1.40*

The only alerts that I have received are for garbage pickups in Salem. Where I lived previously they used Nicole and it was effective for most alerts.

### 5/5 — Why Negative Reviews?

*2025-07-15*

Not sure why everyone is having an issue unless it’s the city you live in. I get notifications that I have chosen in the app and on the website of my city. You need to sign up on your City’s community notification enrollment page. Every county has an office. My notifications are on time and have been a lifesaver when tornadoes occur because even though I have a siren 1/4 miles away we cannot hear it during wicked weather.

### 1/5 — Terrible and useless

*2025-07-14, version 5.1.40*

This app should be removed from the App Store for labeling itself as an emergency alert app and having such a terrible UI. It shows me there are 47 active alerts in my area but there is NO way to see what they actually are. The county next to mine uses it to say when trash pickup will be delayed due to holidays, and I get a blaring alarm every time they do that.

### 1/5 — Useless Application

*2025-07-12, version 5.1.40*

I’m uninstalling this app.  Today is July 12 but the app still shows the latest date as April something.  Doesn’t show any alerts anywhere.  Completely Useless.

### 1/5 — doesn’t work and cannot remove

*2025-06-29, version 5.1.40*

horrible. does not function properly.  when i try to delete from iphone i cannot delete it from my phone. ther literally is no “delete” option when i try to delete like a standard app

### 1/5 — Terrible App

*2025-06-22, version 5.1.40*

My county insists on using this app instead of spending money on a civil siren. The app never works. It will tell me there are alerts but it won’t specify what type of alert. I never get any sort of warning on my phone despite checking all the settings. The radar is terrible. Just a useless app.
