Misinformation

We are in the middle of a Hazmat situation in our town. Everyone kept saying to get this app for the most up-to-date information about the situation. We have gotten nothing but misinformation from the app. I just got an alert telling me to evacuate yet I am not in the evacuation area, and nothing has changed. Then it switched my address to an address that is in the evacuation area. I got out of the app and got back in, and it then had my correct address, and started alerting me to evacuate. I called local authorities and they told me I am still outside of the evacuation area. I’m deleting the app. It’s useless.

Lost location

This app was recommended by our county OES. We are in wildfire season and have a fire within 2 miles of where we live. Genasys keeps losing my location saying “No user position found. Enable location services.” Despite the fact location is set to always and precise. This has happened several times. Every time I have to delete the app, reinstall, and then it works fine for a while.

IBidkwhy this must beunique

Clunky app

Our sheriffs department told us to use this app, but my confidence is not very high based on what I see after installing it. It is not designed for mobile phones, is not user-friendly, and it does not give much information to the user to explain exactly how this is going to work.
