### 1/5 — So far, it’s a guess at best.

*2026-04-01*

After using this for less than a week, it missed an actual half staff alert for my state and then sent me 13 separate half staff alerts for states I don’t even have selected. Guess I’ll go back to google searching flag status.

### 1/5 — Inaccurate

*2026-03-09*

I selected Iowa but it doesn’t show the current status of half-staff for the fallen soldiers.

### 1/5 — Missed Immediately

*2026-03-05*

As soon as I downloaded it said no alerts and full staff, while the nation is obviously at half staff

**Developer response:** Thanks for your feedback.
The app checks official government proclamations to determine when flags should be at half-staff. At the time of your download there was no active nationwide half-staff order issued.

### 2/5 — Missing States

*2026-03-16*

State of Ohio has a half staff order for the weekend. I checked OHIO but it still shows Full Staff on the app. States don’t seem to work?

UPDATE: The OHIO state’s half-staff notification appeared but it wasn’t until late in the evening well after our sporting event would have needed the info.

### 5/5 — Best option!

Organized. Great features! Lets you chose one or multiple states. You send yourself a test text after your preferences are set up. You can even chose what time of day you receive notifications. Very thought out. One time, low cost fee rocks!!!
