Really appreciate this app!! Would suggest being able to turn on/off alerts per location, as needed. If I am not traveling to a selected location, I would like to turn off alerts for it but keep the location in my selected lists. Also, would like to be able to mark each alert as read when many come through in a short period of time and it gets confusing if multiple locations and alerts come in simultaneously. Also, your contact us form did not work.
I love that I can set up monitoring areas for all my family, even customizing the size of the area to be monitored, and if they also use the app, we can easily let each other know that we are safe, if a disaster, such as a tornado, wildfire, or hurricane hits one of our towns. I also love that this app has the capability of not only monitoring my home town, but also any area that I may be traveling in, if I enable location access. Solid app all around.
Ok for warnings and watches not great at actual disasters. I’ll get fifteen fire watch notifications but if there’s a fire within view I get nothing. It’s never once alerted me to an earthquake even after I’ve felt one. It did give an alert for a twister touchdown once although it was at the very edge of my range and wouldn’t have been able to get to me so this might be more helpful for people often near tornadoes.
Stopped working last week when I got dozens of warnings in gibberish (looked like code) when we had no warning. It updated so I thought it was fixed but it wasn’t. Half hour ago had an actual tornado warning, and the app didn’t go off and even when I went out there it said “all clear”. It’s dangerous to provide an app like this that doesn’t work.
