### 4/5 — Does the job but it’s not easy to use nor very pretty

*2023-08-25*

When I first open the app, it asked me to pick some counties nearby. I grabbed a one and then picked the hole of my state. I went back to try to add more counties that surround mine and now it can’t find them. It only shows the states that you can add, and even when searching by county, city or state, it cannot find them. I’m stuck with the one county I picked. Also, when I pick map mode to hide the list of alerts, it randomly re-open the list when I don’t want it to. I am constantly having to close it so I can see the whole map again, which gets very annoying. The list of your state and counties at the top that you can view also get cut of, making it hard to pick them. However, all of these negative things do not outweigh the positive.  This app has very fast and reliable weather alerts. I had a tornado warning shown on this app for my area and it took five more minutes before my TV showed the same warning. Therefore, it is still a great app to use to keep on top of local alerts, and a few updates and fixes it could be magnificent.

### 3/5 — I gave 3 stars

*2022-12-20*

I gave 3 stars because there is no option to share the alert. 

Can you make this an option for future updates?

### 5/5 — Amazing!

*2021-01-03*

It works perfectly fine.

### 5/5 — Works Well!

*2019-05-21*

It works well! Very dependable, with quick alerts.

### 5/5 — Would love to see county or location name in alerts

*2016-06-28*

Awesome app.  As stated in subject line, would love to see location name in alert generated by app at top of screen. 

On busy days, it's hard to figure out if app needs to be open to read details when a whole state is selected for alerts.
