Once Excellent Now Major Problems

On Feb 5 a reviewer of this app stated that they reached out to Flash Alert.” Additionally that the app is being worked on for iOS users. “Excellent customer service response certainly helps.” A month has now passed and there have been no updates or changes. In fact the problems that I pointed out in January have not been resolved. So I am disappointed in their “Excellent customer service service response.”
This app is in fact a horrendous failure. All very disappointing.

Not at all functional

The app doesn’t even display the region options, and is permanently stuck on “Columbia County.” Nowhere near my area. Was working perfectly in the previous version, then the “upgrade “ broke it. Have had to delete and reload the app every time I wish to use it, rendering it useless. I use it related to my work and need the notifications to work….they aren’t. The app developer should either fix the problems or have this removed from the App Store.

Doesn’t Work

I have uninstalled and reinstalled this app many of times in the last few months. It doesn’t work. I have tried logging in and out on the web, it will only load one day. They need to fix the bugs. I have a the latest version. I wish school would use a different app at this point.

Doesn’t work

Absolutely worthless. In all the years I’ve had Flash Alert it never had any issues until I installed this new version earlier this week. I can’t see my subscriptions and it crashes every single time I try to access my settings.

Was great…

I agree with many of the other ratings posted here. The old version of the app worked great with no issues ever. This version works one time and then once you reopen it, it does not work anymore. It only works if you delete it and reinstall it, but again only works once.
