I’ve checked my settings and they are correct. ### 3/5 — Lacks States *2023-01-12, version 1.1* Need GA as a state to be 5 stars. Now I have to rely on a different program for governor’s orders. ### 3/5 — Incorrect info *2022-09-09, version 1.1* Both President and Governor ordered flag 1/2 staff today 09/09/2022 for the passing of the Queen. App did not show this information ### 3/5 — Notifications… *2022-07-07, version 1.1* 1. Will you send me a notification if there’s a declared half staff (not) annually scheduled? 2. I’m writing in Missouri for a State for you to add 😁🤙. ### 4/5 — Good but. *2021-12-14, version 1.1* Missed a half staff directive from the KY Gov. today. Please fix. ### 4/5 — Arizona Updates Please! *2021-02-24, version 1.1* Love the app so far. Would love it more if you could select a specific state and receive those updates as well ### 4/5 — Love to get state notifications *2020-09-25, version 1.1* I live in CT and would love to receive notifications for changes in flag status. Is this something that can be added to the app? Otherwise i love it. Nice to get notification/reminders in advance. Thanks! ### 4/5 — From Alaska *2019-11-23, version 1.1* Hi I just got this app. What a wonderful idea to help us remember when to set the flag at half staff. And to let us know when the President issues an unexpected half staff. I am from Alaska and would like to know when our Governor issues a state half staff. Thank you ### 3/5 — Should be more... *2019-10-06, version 1.1* It’s just okay. It be better if it had a settings page for notifications and such. Also needs to be more robust with an option to view the entire years events. I would expect more from a paid app. .99 for what? ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2019-09-12, version 1.1* Doesn’t work at all anymore... ### 4/5 — Wisconsin *2019-06-20, version 1.1* Please add Wisconsin to the list of states notifying when it should be half staff ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — This is the wrong app *2025-08-04, version 1.1* Get the other half staff app ### 1/5 — Obsolete app. It never sends alerts *2025-05-12, version 1.1* This app is no longer maintained. It’s a shame. I now use Flag Day which is accurate. ### 1/5 — Broken App *2025-01-26, version 1.1* This app no longer works. Do not download thinking it does. ### 1/5 — App obsolete *2025-01-21, version 1.1* Seeing as thought the last version was 9 years ago, no wonder it doesn’t work with current iOS. The app should be removed from the App Store completely, seeing as the creator is not interested in keeping it operative. ### 1/5 — Disappointing for a paid app *2023-12-04, version 1.1* For a paid app, I’d expect to have ALL half staff dates added. Not just holidays. When a former First Lady passed away in November 2023, Grandpa Biden issued a half staff order. This was not reflected in the app. What’s the point of paying for a flag reminder app when these types of half staff days are not included? Please include these and I will happily update my review. Thank you! ### 1/5 — Just calendar dates *2023-01-26, version 1.1* We’ve been under a half staff proclamation for 5 days now by the president. Never received any alerts. Only shows the next scheduled day. Figured for 99 cents it would be worth what they advertise but you don’t get what they say you will. ### 1/5 — Does not report Presidential orders *2022-09-15, version 1.1* The President ordered the flag at half staff a week ago for Queen Elizabeth but this app has no notification about it. ### 1/5 — App is pointless *2022-05-28, version 1.1* Today may 28 2022 the flag is supposed to be at half. The app says full mast today. Come on! Just wasted $1.07. ### 1/5 — You’ve gotta get it right?! *2021-04-12, version 1.1* Memorial Day in 2021 is on May 31. Not the week before, May 24, as your ap indicates🤷🏼‍♂️🙄 ### 1/5 — 👎”VERY DECEPTIVE APP NAME -“HALF-STAFF”‼️ *2021-02-05, version 1.1* I couldn’t see a flag at “HALF-STAFF” for 99 cents to use on a post❗️The trouble to obtain a $.99 refund may not be worth the Trouble! 👉PLEASE CHANGE APP TO ACCURATE NAME! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Add notifications for Kansas! *2025-09-09, version 1.1* Great app. Fairly accurate. ### 5/5 — Excellent app … esp. for business/govn’t entity *2022-07-14, version 1.1* This app is a must-have if you are a business or local government entity with flagpole(s). Gives you advance notice of the next half-staff days (Patriot Day, Memorial Day, etc) … and if you enable notifications, the app will alert you to Federal half-staff proclamations. The only improvement I would like to see is for the app developer to create an iPhone widget for the widget page. And maybe change the app’s main screen pic every now-and-again. Still… it’s a GREAT app. ### 5/5 — Great App *2022-05-30, version 1.1* Need to add Ohio ### 5/5 — Please add Colorado, thx *2022-05-08, version 1.1* Please add Colorado ### 5/5 — Need state notices as well. *2020-07-01, version 1.1* Excellent app. I managed to get a us flag widget on my iPhone, but can’t get states. I ask for New York since that is where I now live and most often have cause to wonder why is the flag at half staff? But I would pay additional for all states, especially if we ever get o travel again. ### 5/5 — Ohio *2019-10-18, version 1.1* Please as add Ohio! ### 5/5 — Please add Georgia as a State you follow! *2019-05-17, version 1.1* So far so good for this app but I just downloaded it. It looks like it is a great one. I just hope you will add Georgia as a followed State. I am a recently retired disabled veteran with 27 1/2 years of service and I have always flown a flag in my yard and always will. So many have fought and died for what this flag represents, so I think every American with a pulse should fly one to honor our fallen if for no other reason. Thank you for creating this app. GO DAWGS!! ### 5/5 — Great app *2018-12-14, version 1.1* Love the app, helps me keep our County Flag looking great but I wish it also would have information for the state of Utah! 😊 ### 5/5 — Thanks *2018-12-04, version 1.1* So glad I bought this app. Thanks for offering it. ### 5/5 — State info *2018-11-18, version 1.1* I would like Iowa state info on half staff --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
