Another Lifesaving App from the Red Cross
NEEMSJE
Please add this app to your suite of Red Cross Apps including First Aid, Hurricane and Tornado. 10 apps in all and all with key information to help prepare and respond in an emergency.
Alarm won't stop. Location broken.

-Freezes iPhone 4s's audio selection. (If you are in Airplay, it will be stuck there, can't switch over to your iPhone speaker.) Alarm will not shut off except if you quit app in taskbar. -Also, Evacuation plan location won't allow you to simply Drop a Pin, and if entering locations by address, their pin is wrong! Can't move or edit app's faulty pin placement. -Slow to get back to main menu . Have to hit 'Back' a ton of times. -Goofy "you earned a badge!" after making a Plan, as if this app is aimed at kids or something. No real value. (If kids need inducement to prepare, this pricess is one they'ed do alongside their parents.)

App will not open on my 3GS. Starts, but then crashes, over and over. Powered off and on, same results. I'd love to give it a "5", but i'll need to actually use it first!!
Flood Review

This app doesn't know where I am and it's flood warning alarm always goes off. Also, the tests don't appear in the tests section, and don't work properly. I'm able to press next, and I ace the test (that's because there are no written questions.)
Quiz trouble

Great app, if somewhat limited, but does not always score quizzes correctly. I would like to see more detailed info on emergency preparation and disaster response.
Very cool!

Just like the rest of the Red Cross apps - it works great. Hope I never have to purify water but will know where to go if I ever need to.
