So disappointing- downright dangerous if people believe this app is a real safeguard.

So bad that I'm shocked. Apparently GREENWICH Ct does not exist in this system... Wow. Nothing works. Waste of time. Complete throw away app. So much promise, absolutely zero functionality.


Not accurate

GrannaSAnne

My location -- right now -- is under an ENERGENCY EVACUATION WARNING but the map shows absolutely NO weather problems even though area around me have already been evacuated! This would be a great back if it worked. Also I needed to add another location to "watch" and there is no easy way to add another location. I had to delete all of my children and start over in order to add another location! Not cool considering this is in the middle of emergency evacuation preparation. That's ridiculous. Not user friendly.


get it

Mememememeyouyou

it is a very good app, i use it almost every day. yes there are a couple of bugs but honestly it works fine. the tests are a really good thing to add in there which is pretty clever to because it shows you what you know and how to prepare for it. ITS A GOOD APP GET IT.


Always get triple alerts notifs

Not sure if it's the app or the NWS but I get 3 of the same alert for flash flood warnings every time.


Alerts Not Loading

Downloaded app because I moved to a new area of the country and there are tornado warnings and watches in effect. The app does issue alerts to my iPhone, but I have found three points of frustration: (1) the app automatically uses my current location. I set up my city as a location for when I travel away from my family but I receive double alerts for my city even after turning off and deleting the current location from my alerts. (2) When trying to view alerts, they do often do not load and I receive an error message. (3) I live in a city with Burroughs. When I expand the radius to cover the whole city, I receive multiple alerts for the same overlapping area.


Doesn't work don't waste your time

No notifications doesn't deserve one star I have all the notifications for every category on for each individual location and I never received any notifications about the thunderstorm watch and the tornado watch that was in effect from last night until 5AM this morning.


wish there was more

If there were more features I probably would have given this a higher Rating. One such feature would probably be the radar/map for weather. seeing what kind of weather we might get can be helpful. Also when I first got it I was looking for something specifically, if a nuke was launched, would it let me know? I don't think so. due to the progress of NK missile testing g I feel as if that's one thing I should be prepared for, and I also think that is something they should add.I do like how they can add other people and the weather alerts, although I have not gotten one, because I literally just got it.


Not good outside of USA

varzen

I'm travelling to South America next week where there are major floods. Im unable to add anything outside of the USA and my current location. This is useless as I want to be aware of issue ahead of time, Not when I'm in it!!!


Great App!

Jesus is my Savior!!!

I love this app, and it's always been very functional! This a must-have and highly needed warning tool (tornadoes are all too common around my area). I definitely recommend this app! Plus, it alerts me when there are serious weather issues in the various places that my family and friends live. While I cannot speak for the others having issues with this app, I definitely sympathize with each of them! Living in a rural area, known for tornadic activity, I completely understand the importance of needing to know have accurate, timely reports regarding 'your weather activity' or that of your family or friends...ASAP! However, I haven't had any problems, and this app works perfectly for me! I have alerts set up to cover several locations, other than my own, with some that are 12-14 hours away, and so far, I've never had a single issue. I'm praying it stays this way too ??!


Works but won't go away!

The app works for general warnings, but they are very general. The one issue I have with it is that I cannot delete the old alerts showing in View Old Alerts. The response I got from the app folks is that "...they don't take up much room on your device." The point is, I don't need old alerts! Please fix this issue.
