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.

9 notifications !!

All at once. That’s crazy.

Awesome App

Awesome App

I really like it!

It’s amazing, it helps me know what storms are coming. Next, I suggest you could make a wildfire or blizzard app! That would be cool!

Locations deleted still alert

I am removing this app as a deleted location keeps sending me alerts.

Disappointed

I would expect more from the American Red Cross. A app that does not work when you need it to show you what is on top of you. All it does is sit there and spin and spin I am deleting this app.

Red Cross Hurricane App

I have used this app for the past Hurricanes, and I am very happy that I can let my family know I am safe; even if I don’t have any power !

Version 3.12.0 DOES NOT WORK

I just downloaded the app and it is a waste of time.
I cannot add any locations for alerts.
The maps are DOA - their map service quit and they don't have a new one. Hey guys, hurricane season is almost here. (It's May 15 now.)
USELESS!

Not showing correct locations

It has been fine until recently.
It’s not updating the current locations of any storms, like it was waaaay off, not even just a little..
Now I’m worried since this has been my most accurate app up until now. The app is up to date, but the tracker is not.

This app needs to stop crying wolf!

I have been receiving Flood Warnings for Omaha, Douglas County for weeks now. My sister lives there. I call her all alarmed and she tells me “nothing but blue skies”. No flooding here”. I’m getting ready to delete the app.

Spammed me with notifications...

Don’t get this. If you do, turn notifications off. They sent me 27 in a min.

Gen23

Does not allow you to report any problems with the app to the developer. Says you can increase/decrease monitoring radius on map. NOT TRUE! Beginning to think this is a scam app.

Free And Works

Used this app for several years works great for monitoring the hurricanes we get in Florida. Using it now for Dorian. Thanks to the developers for creating it and its free.

Chantel storm

I find it quite interesting that you would choose a high school to show. Is this really from the Red Cross?

FAILS August 21, 2019

IT STILL FAILS TO LOAD my ALERTS, entirely. It fails when you get to the third step of adding a person - in this case, anyone where I am in NYC.

Doesn’t work

I have two tropical storms (projected to arrive as hurricanes) heading my way and yet not a peep out of this app. Even opened it up and it just said, “all is well!”

Contacts phone number choice MUST be fixed!

Red Cross/ 3 Sided Cube — I'm a beta tester for the Red Cross, and have been telling you this for YEARS: You MUST fix the ability to choose which number from within each Contacts listing is to be called when the "I'm Safe" button is clicked. As it is, the top number on the Contact list is the default — there is no way to select WHICH number for the app to text. Are users to go through their Contacts list and rearrange all the phone numbers to appease the app quirks? Certainly a landline auto-message asking for 25¢ to place a call is not very convenient when the ceiling has fallen in during a natural disaster. Also, what about an option to send an "I'm Safe" email vs. texting?Without these options, the apps are pretty much worthless and do not meet with your mission statement. Your agency was created to SUPPORT those affected by emergencies. These apps are falling short.

Creepy and Intrusive

This app wants to track you at all times. It won’t work if you only want it to find your location while you use it. If you try to add a random location, the app demands to know who you “love” there - name and address. It’s Creepy.
