User reviews

Get notification but nothing in the app

The app gives me the banner notifications at the top of the screen, but when I open the app to read more, the most recent entry is from eight hours ago. Thought it could help during this hurricane but it’s basically worthless if I only get details hours later.

Location / Address

Others have reported the addressing issue and I ran into it yesterday. Traffic signal/sign issues are in the right of way and not at a 911 address. I think I’m doing the right thing by dropping the pin closest to the location but it’s more work for 311 dispatch and me. Future state I will drop it closest to the location but closer to a parcel to get a 911 address. I would have assumed they get the GPS coordinate along with this but that is not the case.

This is useless

FEMA sent a severe thunderstorm warning and tornado watch. This app didn’t. W he at exactly is this app for?

Needs updating

Old alerts from hurricane in September. Settings don’t display properly.

Potentially helpful, alerts broken

The app could be life-saving, but it continues bombarding users with the same alert every few minutes... I don’t mean the updated severe weather or tornado warnings with new times or locations; I literally mean the same or even expired notifications despite viewing the alert from the app or from the push notification. The nonstop barrage had me temporarily disable notifications during the storm producing the tornadoes about which I was being warned. Even worse, today (6/8) I received another tornado warning push notification from (6/6). I don’t know what’s going on and apparently, neither does the app or its developers...
