too many notifications

Cebow3

I keep getting 3 or 4 notifications a day that seem to be for the same warning. Like 3 “beach hazard statements” in one day and 4 “excessive heat warnings” on that same day. The thing is going off every hour. Having so many notifications means I’m much less likely to pay attention to them.

Accessible information

I like that you can set alerts for up to 5 county locations. It would be nice to be able to specify cities so that when I'm visiting, I don't have to research what county I'm in. You can set family emergency meeting locations. It would be nice to be able to add the rest of the family communication plan, and to be able to share the information with others. I like that you can turn off the reminder alerts. I like that you can see where the shelters and DSAs are. Maybe should add a little note about why there isn't info on a specific location someone is looking for (frequency and source of data; only active locations shown, etc). It would be great to link to other media like YouTube videos with related content to maximize modes of communication.

Won't hold locations

I keep on having to re add the locations after I agree to the terms this is a pain other than that app is great

An excellent resource for alerts.

I discovered this application while looking for a replacement to the now discontinued weather alert USA application. This is a very simple app however when it comes to the task of providing severe weather alerts I can say the notifications are almost instantaneous. A lot of times the alert arrives on my phone within about 30–60 seconds of being heard on my Weather Radio. This app does not have GPS functionality however you can set up to five locations. Each location is set by selecting your state and county. For voiceover users I have been able to navigate this application with no issues. So far the only thing I can find that I would like to see changed is that the application uses the standard default Apple notification sound. Considering the types of alerts this program is providing it would definitely be better to have its own dedicated sound instead of the default. Otherwise this is an excellent app and I can definitely recommend it.

I love using this for alerts. However the only thing I'm not a fan of is the "dial 911" thing. I accidentally tapped it and it dialed 911.

Probles saving locations

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

Great app great app great app

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.
