Great! One suggestion

Great app overall, however it would be nice to have the ability to change the Pre-Alert notification to a different sound than the normal alert!

Recommended update

Love the app, but would like the option to have a selection, how long your tones go off because it doesn’t go off long enough specially if you’re asleep and it would be very fantastic if it was able to be on an Apple Watch or any smart watch device

Unable to load

I have good connection to the internet but it says it’s unable to load due to no connection. I can’t see any of the messages, incidents. I have the new iphone 16 maybe that is the issue.

Update: all I had to do was uninstall the app and reinstall it. It now works on the new iphone 16!
