The sheer lack of notices should be criminal for an app that claims to alert you to potential danger. Took HOURS to get emergency notifications regarding the tsunami in Hawai’i. After the trama of the wild fires I have this app to provide me up-to-the-minute emergency updates. NOT to not get any notifications and when I do open the app it’s unable to even load my location. ### 1/5 — Does not work *2025-07-30, version 2.25.1* Even during a wildland fire where we were evacuated and a later tsunami advisory, there were absolutely no alerts. Do not rely upon this app. ### 1/5 — Phantom Notifications *2025-07-30* Notifications come on and they never go away. It is so annoying. Sometimes you get a notification, open the app only to be greeted by a spinning icon without anything loaded. Completely useless. ### 1/5 — What’s this fraud notification? *2025-06-08* I just got a notification from myAlerts talking about a potential “fraud” transaction that posted to my and to call a number to block transaction. First, I had to remind myself what this app was since I don’t recall proving any app with access to any of my bank accounts. When I realized this app normally provided me with weather alerts, it became clear that (a) they’ve been hacked or (b) they’ve start committing fraudulent messages and notification to scam users. Either way, this is app a “quickly uninstall this app as fast as possible” to avoid being scammed in the future. USER BEWARE! ### 1/5 — Unreliable *2025-05-17, version 2.25.1* We were under tornado watch and severe weather alert due to damaging winds/hail. The app was blank. No alerts no data. Nothing. Do not rely on this. ### 2/5 — Customized settings don’t work *2024-12-03* I only signed up for a few specific types of alerts (fire related and hurricanes, or tropical storms) and I get extremely frequent “high surf advisories” (including waking me up 30 mins before I planned to wake). I looked this morning and my settings were NOT checked to include those but I was woken again too early by a warning that I have Zero need or desire for. Super annoying. I have to risk no fire alerts to not be plagued by unwanted noise and adrenaline surges. ### 1/5 — No Alerts!!! *2024-08-17, version 2.3.0* Recent paddock fire in Idaho snd zero alerts even got evacuation zone. The only alerts that came through or the national weather service. I put in for specific addresses in various locations in town as well as every ZIP Code in the county and adjacent counties and still nothing. After realizing it could either be the county not using it or the app I put in more towns more addresses more counties and in different states trying to get something in the path of a large uncontrolled fire. Still nothing nothing although without knowing the geography, looking at a fire map and guessing where there might be alerts as far from accurate. The bottom line is in Gem County Idaho it was an epic fail that could have resulted in loss of life, livestock or property. ### 1/5 — No sound notification *2024-05-02* There is no sound notification during tornado warnings . Tried the test and again no sound. I have checked to make sure all setting are correct and they are. Please fix! It’s tornado season here and a sound is needed if one shows up while people are sleeping. ### 2/5 — Not getting alerts *2024-03-14, version 2.3.0* I set notifications to my area, which I know is under a tornado watch right now, and it’s not showing that. There’s no local alerts anywhere. ### 5/5 — Expired Alerts Issue Seems to Be Resolved *2023-11-10* November 09, 2023 Yesterday I received notification that the old alerts issue has a solution (on the Alerts tab, tap the icon that looks like a circle around an ellipsis & tap “Hide Expired Alerts”.) March 23, 2023 Since posting the review below, I have found another way to clear old (& no longer useful) alerts, remove then add the location covered by the alerts. This is slightly faster than deleting, downloading & reconfiguring the app. January 28th, 2023 I am giving a one star because it appears the developer is not interested in fixing this problem as I see people have been pointing it out for several years. There should be a means (e. g. swipe left or an Edit function that people could select alerts to remove.) What value is there in in keeping alerts that have have expired long ago still in the list? The only way I could find to remove the old alerts is to delete this app (which removes all data associated with the app), install it again & reconfigure the app. This sounds like the horrible things I hear about PCs! **Developer response:** Hello Steve, yes, you are correct- we did make an update recently that allows for expired alerts to be hidden. It was actually your original feedback, along with a few others, that paved the way for that update to be made within our app, so THANK YOU very much for sharing your experience with us. We appreciate you taking the time to speak up initially, as well as for coming back to update your review! ## Frequently asked questions about myAlerts ### What does the myAlerts app do?
