Why is this still here?

This app used to be very handy. Now it takes my money and says I haven’t subscribed, so can’t get alerts. 🤬

Used to be great

…bc it’s one of the few that a) overrides donor disturb WHILE ALSO b) customizing which alerts I get. I, for one, only want tornado WARNINGS, nothing else.

But I guess they don’t care about their app any more, hence the ratings dip. Shame. I renewed my subscription but while, yes, they took my money, the app still thinks I’m not paying and won’t send me alerts. I’ve deleted the app and reinstalled. Nothing.

Useless. Remove it from the App Store if you’re MIA, devs.

It’s okay to move on…

Can’t get past the welcome screen

I I get the welcome screen but nothing after that. I see things in back ground, around the edges of the welcome screen loading. But I can’t get to them. And I can’t get rid of the welcome screen. It says to wait for it to move on to the next screen but after 30 minutes of waiting it never moves on.

Alerts Do Not Work

I’ve been paying for this app for a very long time, however alerts do not come through despite having settings correct. Waste of money and a total disappointment.

Alerts do not work

A week with multiple days of severe weather; thunderstorms, high winds, tornados and flooding. Not one alert was sent. No longer a trust worthy option for receiving critical alerts. Messages support who replied with one brief response and then nothing. Do not waste your money.
