However, on my lock screen I get Red Alerts for places in Israel I am concerned about but when I open the app there are none for those areas. Is this intentional or a bug in the app? ### 2/5 — Dirty business ! *2025-11-23* Everything is done to make money by ads! It’s difficult to start viewing the map, bacause the adds cover everything ### 1/5 — Life and death behind ads *2025-05-22, version 7.1* Shameful that this app people turn to for life saving information with only minutes or seconds to spare is covered up with ads for temu and mobile games that can’t be skipped. This should be illegal. It could cost lives. ### 1/5 — radio shrieking unstoppable *2024-12-29, version 7.1* Once you gave chosen a radio station yelling or howling at you, your only way to stop that noise is to choose another quite similar radio station. Silence is definitely not a choice. Is this will be changed, I will announce here (obviously changing the number of stars), as so many rely these days on this application. ### 2/5 — News *2024-12-21, version 7.1* Why isnt there any information about what occurs in Israel when receiving alerts? There should more than just alerts explaining what is happening. ### 4/5 — Text size *2024-12-16, version 7.1* Text size for date & time is too small ### 2/5 — Frustrating *2024-12-04, version 7.1* This app would be fantastic. If the first glimpse lasted a few seconds longer. It goes into advertisement mode and doesn’t come out immediately after the first glimpse of the map. The ‘X’ to close the ad in the upper left or right corners rarely functions to exit an ad page ### 3/5 — Bug in the app *2024-10-26, version 7.1* I signed up to get alerts for Ramat Gan but keep getting alerts for Rama. This keeps waking me up. When I tried contacting support, I couldn’t send an email through the app because there’s some other bug there. So no way to fix this. ### 1/5 — Annoying *2024-10-08, version 7.1* I cannot stop the sound or cannot delete this app. It goes off way too much. ### 4/5 — Good job *2024-10-07, version 7.1* Works good ### 1/5 — App is not updating *2024-10-06, version 7.1* The last alert I received was June 10. Is this app still working? ### 1/5 — horrible app *2024-10-02, version 7.1* yes let me watch your ad while my life is in danger! i’ve never wanted to buy a product more than when rockets are being fired at me. idiots. ### 2/5 — Flawed *2024-10-02, version 7.1* I don’t want ads when I click my settings in the app. Settings don’t show up just temu and other junk. ### 1/5 — Adds *2024-10-02, version 7.1* I have deleted the app due to the ad that pops up and can not be exited out of unless you shut the app down. I’ve had top restart the app every time I check the alerts. What good it’s a so called, “important” app for alerts if you can’t view the alerts. ### 1/5 — I can’t understand a word of what they are saying *2024-10-02, version 7.1* Very disappointed. I thought this was live TV as well and I cannot understand a word of what is being said what a waste. ### 3/5 — Red alert *2024-10-01, version 7.1* Too hard to figure out navigation of app ### 1/5 — Not good *2024-10-01, version 7.1* Clearly whoever made this app just wanted to make money off of ads rather than helping people that are being attacked ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Where are the city settings *2026-06-15, version 7.1* It looks as if you can set the city for alerts but I can’t see any link to the necessary settings ### 1/5 — Can’t close Ads *2026-03-24, version 7.1* Skip this app. Ads are one thing, I see them all the time on major apps like YouTube, but these Ads can’t be closed. Total waste of space. ### 1/5 — ads? here? *2026-03-14, version 7.1* how evil do you have to be to implement 30 second, unskippable ads for slop games and temu on an app where 30 seconds of not having information is the difference between life and death? disgusting. ### 1/5 — Careful, X rated ads *2026-03-04, version 7.1* The banner has ads, x rated ads. Deleted the app, otherwise the app functions to relay actual alerts that those in Israel are getting. ### 1/5 — Ads… REALLY? *2026-03-03* The alarms come just like 1 minute before possible impact and if you actually open the app there will be ads played when you try to figure out where on the map the alerts are. Are you serious, these ads can literally kill people. ### 1/5 — Too many ads *2026-03-02, version 7.1* Oh an alert let me just check.. 30 second ad pops up.. Nevermind to late it already hit. ### 1/5 — Well well well 👃 *2025-08-31* Une appli qui sert à sauver des vies ??? Non, plutôt à gagner de l’argent. Les créateurs de cette appli utilisent la guerre pour se faire de l’argent sur le dos des civils qui ne peuvent même pas utiliser l’appli car trop de pubs. Encore un exemple qui démontre la cupidité juive … ### 1/5 — Advertising *2025-06-16, version 7.1* Advertisement locks app. ### 1/5 — Worthless *2025-06-02, version 7.1* I can’t read the alerts. When I open the app, I see the alerts for a second, then it goes to an advertisement. Not only does it go to an advertisement, but I can’t exit the advertisement, I can’t get to the alerts. I let the advertisement run to the end, still can exit the advertisement. So I exit and terminate the app, and reopen, again right back to another advertisement. I do not recommend this app, not even for free, it’s worthless to me. ### 1/5 — Annoying ads *2025-05-23, version 7.1* Cannot get past ad without waiting for it to end. Cannot see alerts on map. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Excellent *2026-02-28, version 7.1* Great service ### 5/5 — Very accurate *2025-06-15, version 7.1* Thank you to developers of the app thinking on saving lives in Israel and over the world ### 5/5 — Up to the minute alerts *2024-10-22, version 7.1* It’s helpful as this app is in reminding me to pray, it’s also alarming to know how many times Israel gets attacked by its enemies. ### 5/5 — Removing Ads *2024-09-28, version 7.1* I was very happy to pay to remove ads from Red Alert. With all the missiles coming into Israel, I depend on the red alerts. I don’t needs ads clogging my screen when I get an alert that might be local. The ads are dangerous to me. ### 5/5 — Unbelievable! *2024-02-15, version 6.1* I live in the UK 🇬🇧, and use this app to keep up to date on the REAL situation in Israel 🇮🇱. These rocket 🚀 attacks are never mentioned in the western media. Disgusting the one sided narrative that is being used. Thanks to this app, people like me can know the truth. I wish peace to you all. 🙏 ### 5/5 — J. H. Probasco *2023-11-18* Might it be technically possible to simultaneously post the Google Maps (or some other) aerial view of locations named in your alerts? Wonderful App and service! Doubles as a timely reminder when to more precisely offer up prayers of protection and safety. ### 5/5 — Praying for Israel *2023-11-08* There is evil which cares not for anything or anyone and comes to kill, destroy and devour. There is good which protects its own while trying not to cause torture or unleashed hostilities on others. Praying for Israel and comfort for all the innocents on both sides that suffer the consequences of evil! ### 5/5 — Amazing *2023-10-31, version 6.0* Absolutely amazing if u want up to date info on Israel and the terrorist who attacks her. Isaiah 53!!!! ### 5/5 — Love the app, can’t scroll down *2023-10-11* I love the app and being informed. It won’t allow me to scroll down in the notifications section. It only goes so far and then stops. ### 5/5 — Application d’alertes *2023-10-09* Cette application est très utile et fonctionne très bien 👍 --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
