Emergency: Severe Weather App Reviews

A Useful App!

Living in an area with unpredictable weather. Love that I can keep tabs on other world wide locations with loved ones too!

I was woken up in Sarasota Florida to a loud siren on my phone with a warning about an approaching Tornado. Approximately 15 minutes later a tornado passed within a few miles of us. Shortly thereafter another alert sounded, and a second tornado passed through. Both tornados occurred between 3 & 4 a.m. Without this app we would have likely slept through it, but we would have been fine. Unfortunately two people were killed just a few miles away and I can't help thinking that had they had a warning system like this they might have survived.

While reading a magazine from USAA insurance company, it recommended this app. The app asks for locations of ones you care about and provides teaching and quizzes with helpful emergency info presented in an interesting way.

Has potential

Looks like a great app. Unfortunately every time I update my phone (Part of Appleseed beta program) I have to completely rebuild my locations each time. With family all over the country and world, it makes for a long task. Once this is fixed (fed back to developers already) I would gladly put on my phone.

App woke me up along with the furniture moving. Site/app really valuable. Highly recommend it.

So helpful!

It's very useful. I live in a place with strong winters, and thanks to this app I now know what to do during winter storms.

Simple but thorough

This app has good review tests to help you plan ahead for emergencies. Without burdening you with complicated steps to go through even someone such as a child (10 and older) can follow the easy-to-use step by step instructions. I installed this app in all my families cell phones and Pads, even my 10 year old grandson.

Pretty useless

The Real Mercutio

This app is pretty useless because it employs thin, dim fonts that are too difficult for an elderly person like me to read quickly and easily. This is a common mistake made by many app developers, who too often value form over function. And the Red Cross finds this design approach acceptable for an app to be used in emergencies? Ludicrous.

Wonderful Idea!

I love to be able to keep tabs on loved ones in an emergency but it took me about 6 X's to add a new location and ppl living there. Someone mentioned sometimes these ppl or locations just disappear after setting them up and it doesn't let you know this happened. Hope you can fix this bug.

Crazy misinformation

Humpy special

Woke up to a 4 am alert this Saturday to let me know here will be 8-18 inches of snow in the Seattle area. Followed by 1-2 feet more from noon on Sunday to noon on Monday. Then "the snow level will be around 4000 feet today then remain between 2000 and 3000 feet Sunday through Monday". What? It's raining and a little windy and all other weather apps say it will stay that way.
