Pathetic waste of money… alerts come after the event

Response from developer

Thank you for your feedback. We are sorry you are not receiving alerts when you expect them. Please contact us at SaskAlert@gov.sk.ca with your location and the approximate time of the alerts so we can investigate this issue.

Needs work

This app is super annoying. It’s very important but even though I have two locations specified, I continue to get warnings from different areas throughout the night.

The warnings need to be able to be selected for only specific areas within Saskatchewan.
