A Mediocre App Going Downhill
No matter what permissions I do or don’t give, if I open the app a blue banner appears stating it’s actively using my location, and this does not go away when I exit the app or even go into other apps. The only way to turn it off is to go into settings and toggle the permissions again.
Further, I can never click on the active warnings. I’ll get notifications on my lock screen and then the app tells me nothing. The active warning list won’t open, there are no icons on the map, nothing.
This has become a completely useless app.

Terrible App
I can’t delete this app, stop the text messages or change my address. What good does it do me if my CodeRed messages are for an address I no longer live at?
As said before Great Ideal !
Yes it would be great to have early warning or Alert of possible danger . This App has not worked once threw the last snow storm even when I93 was tied up with an accident ??
Won’t load sometimes
When I try to load alert it just goes into never never land and you can’t back out or do anything. So I try to read it but text too small
By far worst app I ever have tried to use

Good, but the text is too small.
Love the app. Hate that I can’t read it since the last update. Please return the font size on the alert details to a legible size.
Six identical alerts, all in a row?
No, thank you. I just yanked your app out of my phone. If you ever fix that bug, I *might* reinstall this app.
Location is always unknown
App seems to mess up location services, it never knows where one is; it keeps turning off location services,but red alert (which this is built on) works fine.
Is this app even functioning anymore?
I have not received a warning since January 2018, makes me wonder if this app is even functioning?
App Crashes
Can’t use the app. It crashes when you click on the settings section to actually set it up.
Used to love it but about ready to delete
Used to live this app but I am about ready to delete it. Within the last week every alert comes thru 8-10 times re occurring every minute. Very annoying. If it doesn’t get corrected soon the app is gone
Useless
This app is a great idea but terribly flawed. Mostly impossible to get alerts to load.
Works for me
I moved to NH a little over a year ago & this app has helped me out a lot during the winters here with its weather alerts. It also sends alerts out about traffic accidents, stalled vehicles, closed roads, etc. in the area which is good to know when I'm going out, whether or not to take a different route to my destination. The number you see in 'Active Alerts' is for all of USA & 'My Warnings' is for your selected area radius. For those who say that they can see that there's alert(s) in their area but that they can't get to the info about it - you can move the map around & pinch & zoom to see different areas on the map, tap the alert box that it's showing, then tap the circle with the i. That will bring up the alert details & allows you to read it or play the recorded message if you prefer. By tapping the 'Settings' box on the top right of the screen you can customize the type of alerts you receive, choose which audible alarm that sounds when an alert is issued & select your personal warning radius (anywhere from 1 mile up to 25 miles). For those that say the app is showing a red icon with a number [of alerts] but shows no alerts when you open up the app - if you have it set to remove expired warnings, that could be why there's nothing showing when you open the app, the alert(s) have probably already expired (the number will not disappear until you open the app next). I hope some of this info is helpful for others.

Needs work
I like the variety of choices for alert types and alert radius...if only the radius tool worked. I'm in southern NH and I have 110 alerts - from south of Virginia to Rutledge Vermont to central Maine - and over a hundred in between. I've allowed location services so this isn't the cause.
Fix the radius tool and I'll give another star. Give me a button to acknowledge alerts to reset the counter and you'll get another star

Great idea but needs improvement
This app was a great idea, but until they give the option to setup custom alert sounds instead of the obnoxious sounds provided or at least an option to disable sounds, but still have a pop up alert I will not have this app installed. Yesterday the annoying sound file played over a dozen times and the app failed to fetch what these alerts were for. My guess was too much traffic/over loaded server. App was deleted because of this and I will not install it again until a 'silent' feature is added.

Needs work
Not sure what the app is trying to tell me. For example, got 5 notifications in 5 minutes and I see only one issue on the map. Then the bar on the bottom shows 5 alerts. When i select the "near me" icon, it shows me a warning that's not near me. Will delete for now and check back later to see if anything gets fixed. Pretty useless as it is now

Disappointed
Very frustrating to use. Not enough categories to make it practical. Traffic needs to be its own category, I work in a school and a highway closure does not warrant a loud alarm. Those should be reserved for life threats only. Frankly each category should allow you to select if you want an alert or just a app badge icon. I have deleted it after it alarms four times today for road closures. Even more annoying is the threat was listed as statewide when in reality the accident was nearly 40 miles from me. There are much better commercial apps that you can get this same info from that allow full customization.

Great idea--terrible reality
We have some snow today and I keep getting the loud "alert" sound. However, it won't let me click on any of the alerts to see what they are--just tells me there's an error and I need to recheck my network. I'm at home on our wi-fi connection, so that's not the problem. I'm deleting the app. It's not worth being startled by the noise and not being able to get any useful information. If they fix it, I'll try again.

Wait for v1 or v2 release
This app needs work. The alerts take a long time to load (if they load at all). The alerts went off when there were no warnings in my area. The alert sounds are limited and they are all intrusive and annoying. The GPS is on all the time. The app should alternatively allow the user to manually set their desired alert location. I could go on but I think got my point across. Perhaps I'll give it another shot after a few releases but for now I've deleted the app.

Too buggy
A great idea, but not ready for prime time. The app's alert notifications are often out of sync with the actual alerts, or the app indicates there is an error connecting, despite a solid network connection. I was receiving the alert "siren" notification" randomly, and aoften, despite no actual alerts being issued. Perhaps this one was released without enough testing. Had to delete, but hope to see an improved version eventually.

Loud and inflexible
While this is a super cool idea, unfortunately it did not meet my expectations. It requires that you keep the location tracking on your phone on all the time rather than being able to set your location. This drains the battery continuously. Additionally, every time I open the app, it gives a loud warning. While you can change the warning, there is no option to turn it off or to make it more subtle. This is not good when trying to put a baby to sleep. Therefore, as useful as this app may be, I deleted it.
