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. ### 3/5 — 9 notifications !! *2022-09-27, version 3.16.2* All at once. That’s crazy. ### 3/5 — Disappointed *2020-09-18, version 3.13.0* 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. ### 2/5 — Not showing correct locations *2019-10-26, version 3.10.2* 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. ### 2/5 — Contacts phone number choice MUST be fixed! *2019-07-09, version 3.10.0* 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. ### 1/5 — Abuses notifications for donations *2018-09-19, version 3.8.3* I used this app for several years for tracking storms that affected family members. However, I am removing it because I e just had two interruptions to ask for donations. ### 1/5 — Only for America? *2018-09-16, version 3.8.3* Can’t have alerts for people I know in other countries?! Really?! ### 1/5 — Terrible app *2018-09-15, version 3.8.3* Too busy. Poor interface. NOT USER FRIENDLY. ### 2/5 — So so *2018-09-13, version 3.8.1* Just spins and says loading Hurricane. Map is cluttered with shelter data making it hard to see track. Should be an overlay ### 3/5 — News alerts *2018-09-08, version 3.8.1* I had so many alerts I finally had to delete the app just to get rid of all of the alerts, after ten minutes of deleting I saw no end in sight ### 2/5 — Limited Information *2018-07-06, version 3.7.1* Why don’t shown shelter in Florida. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Annoying. *2023-08-30* 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. ### 1/5 — Locations deleted still alert *2020-10-11, version 3.13.0* I am removing this app as a deleted location keeps sending me alerts. ### 1/5 — Version 3.12.0 DOES NOT WORK *2020-05-15, version 3.12.0* 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! ### 1/5 — This app needs to stop crying wolf! *2019-10-04, version 3.10.2* 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. ### 1/5 — Spammed me with notifications... *2019-09-04, version 3.10.2* Don’t get this. If you do, turn notifications off. They sent me 27 in a min. ### 1/5 — Gen23 *2019-09-03, version 3.10.2* 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. ### 1/5 — Chantel storm *2019-08-22, version 3.10.2* I find it quite interesting that you would choose a high school to show. Is this really from the Red Cross? ### 1/5 — FAILS August 21, 2019 *2019-08-21, version 3.10.2* 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. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2019-07-30, version 3.10.0* 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!” ### 1/5 — Creepy and Intrusive *2018-10-09, version 3.8.3* 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. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — App *2023-06-25* 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 ### 5/5 — Awesome App *2022-09-26, version 3.16.2* Awesome App ### 5/5 — I really like it! *2021-08-21, version 3.15.3* 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! ### 5/5 — Red Cross Hurricane App *2020-08-04, version 3.12.4* 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 ! ### 5/5 — Free And Works *2019-08-31, version 3.10.2* 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. ### 5/5 — Been with Red Cross for many years *2018-09-15, version 3.8.3* I have saved a life, was taught how to swim, I have taken CPR and First Aid courses I have donated blood, volunteered, and I have seen first hand the unprecedented amount of volunteers that have been there during fires, earthquakes, tornadoes and hurricanes not to mention the wealth of knowledge and skills they put out there to help people learn what to do in a crisis! I have used these apps through many situations including Hurricane Mathew and Irma and did not have any problems whatsoever!!!! As a matter of fact, AT&T and Apple kept us up and running throughout! Thank you to all at the Red Cross for doing the world this outstanding service for so many years and keep up the great work! ### 5/5 — All Stars *2018-09-12, version 3.8.1* Red Cross picks up the slack between where your neighbors don’t have the capacity and when the government steps in. ### 5/5 — Great app *2018-09-10, version 3.8.1* As a trained disaster responder, I am delighted to see so many useful features. This could truly save lives. ### 5/5 — Bob H *2018-09-10, version 3.8.1* I live in Florida and depend on these apps for warnings for tornadoes and hurricanes it’s really accurate ### 5/5 — Informational Hurricane App *2017-09-29, version 3.5.1* This app is very informational and helpful! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
