Good severe weather warnings.

While you don’t win warnings from FEMA, it’s good to be warned.

Needs dark mode

Open this during a blackout and that bright white background will be a shock to the retinas. Also, a dark background can offer some battery savings so it’s logical to implement a dark mode. The Environment Canada app has dark mode. Why doesn’t FEMA?

Keeps crashing

I have had this app on my phone for a long time and always appreciated the warnings
However, this version keeps crashing and going blank
Since I am currently under an active tornado watch it’s frustrating and scary

All Notifications All the Time

This app is great for weather alerts. However, even if I turn certain alerts off, they still come through. I get inundated with way too many notifications that I quit paying attention. Definitely not ideal for an emergency application. Just show me tornados. 🙄🌪️

Bug that has been happening for several months. New update does not fix.

I get notifications about alerts but they do not show up in the app, so I can’t see the actual contents of the alerts.
