Annoying.

The alarm goes off even when silenced. One warning is enough. I get it. Constant warnings and sirens even when I turn them off and silence my phone. I’m going to have to delete this app because I can’t have it going off during meetings.

App

It has a lot of preparation thing on it that people may not know. Don’t ignore if hurricane passes that an Amen. If it doesn’t you Will be prepared

Not as accurate as it could be.

App is not always accurate. Currently it’s missing track of Nicole. Sometimes it takes up to 6 hours to update information. Data is available lots of places but app does not get updated. Very disappointed.
