The app is promising. Unfortunately where alerts are concerned, it will not save the locations you want to receive alerts on.

Wrote heading 3 times because all my alerts arrive 3 times. Unfortunately it becomes the alert that cries wolf. Once fixed it will return to awesome app. I can watch weather alerts for 5 locations. Would like that increased. Watch where my kids live, watch home and places on vacation. Agreed sound should be unique for alert. More like EAP but not obnoxious.
Downloaded, but as soon as this review is posted, Im removing app until it will save my location. Warnings wont be helpful otherwise. Waste of time for now.
This has a lot of promise, but, like other reviewers, Ive found that every time I open the app I have to re-enter my locations, which seems to defeat the purpose.
I just deleted the app because it keeps forgetting my location. The Red Cross Emergency app works much better.
This is one of the few apps I use for notifications, as it used to provide great occasional alerts. Now that were in the summer, Im getting 4-5 Red Flag alerts a day, every day for weeks, which doesnt make them seem real. Sometimes I literally get the same alert 2 or 3 times, mere seconds after the previous identical alert. They need to fix sending the same alert multiple times, and let people opt out of certain types of alerts. Ive disabled alerts for now because this bug is so irritating.
Latest updated lock the app. Cant get to anything all tabs are unresponsive
App wont save favorite locations, I have to keep adding them every day!
I dont want to be reminded to check my smoke detectors, check my emergency supply kit, practice safety routes 4 times a day, 7 days a week. I would like a heads up when Mother Nature is not happy and is sending unfavorable weather my way. This app does not do this, like I thought it would do.
I can understand excessive alerts when theres a disaster but getting five, six, seven alerts in the space of a few minutes for heat warnings is a bit much.
As another review mentioned, the app routinely deletes my saved locations and I have to re-add them. I only save two counties so its not too bad, but I shouldnt have to do that. Apart from that, basic or not it gives me the local weather alerts as fast or faster than other apps. Its simple and basic but I get the alerts as soon as they are issued. When the locations are saved that is. ;-)
Love the weather alerts! I get notified when there are alerts where family and friends live. Also check smoke alarm reminder is a plus!
Overzealous! Late summer in Los Angeles, we have very low humidity and strong winds. All adds up to fire hazard in hill country. So, this afternoon, my iPhone went crazy with 10 (yes, 10!) alerts all issued at the same time, advising me of fire danger in the rural areas of this and the neighboring counties. Guess what else? I COULDNT DISMISS THESE ALERTS!! My phone went nuts for at least 10 minutes. Couldnt even read the alerts because the app kept nagging me about "new" ones. (Really?? Just do ONE @&#$!! alert, and KEEP IT SHORT!)
No way to select the region and getting too many notifications...rendering the alerts useless
I installed this app so that I could be better prepared for the eventual earthquakes in our communitys future. Unfortunately, I keep getting posts about fires in the LA region. I have nothing against those folks and wish them the best but I dont need to be pommelled with their fire notices at every turn. If the app allowed me to tailor the regions in which Im interested, I might give it another try.
Like other reviews, theres just way too many alerts!!! Some come 3 minutes apart for the same weather issue but in different counties, I listed ONE county in SC but get an alert for just about every county in SC. I listed a county in Western NC but getting alerts for coastal NC out of Wilmington! Please fix this issue we are all having. I received nearly 20 alerts for severe storms yesterday, just for my area of Lincoln county NC (never got a rain drop)!
Useless app, wont save locations so you have to update them daily. Too many silly alerts asking you to check smoke alarms batteries etc instead of warning us about cat4 hurricanes approaching ! Im deleting this stupid app
I use this app to track severe weather and flood advisories during hurricane season. This app delivers notifications before all other apps I downloaded for this same reason, including local weather authorities. Fast notifications and in-app as well. Does what I need it to do, with the perk of a simple interface.
October 7 at 2am I had a weather notification about storm in Seattle October 6 at 4pm. Thanks! Its good to feel safe
When:(? I want FEMA CAMPS,ITS GONNA BE AMAZING,THE NEW AUSWITCH
