*ANYONE NOTICE THAT THERE ARE NOT ANY REPLIES FROM THE RED CROSS?🔇🔕 I couldn’t make heads or tails out of the app & I’m using a S8+. It wouldn’t even “take” the correct city’s when they were typed in. I was hoping for much more from the Red Cross! I was expecting for something that was well done & accurate. For some reason irhsts neither! Completely USELESS to me. Wouldn’t do anything correctly! UNFORTRUNATELY… UNINSTALLING NEXT!
It’s just a baseline warning app. Not much to it and navigating it is a pain. The map isn’t interactive and doesn’t show anything just current location. Not what I was hoping for with a hurricane app. Was hoping it would be more in depth.
There is never enough information and when it is given its either too late or not able to access earlier notifications. Even if it says “monitoring 4 hazards” it wont let me see them. It be nice to be able to know what those hazards are. That is what a warning system is supoosed to do. Give me information to make choices for me and my family.
Decent app but when you look at the map, there’s so many Red Cross markers than you can hardly see anything. SUGGESTION: The Red Cross pins should be a layer that you can disable.
