In 2020, in the midst of a global pandemic... I got a notice at around 3am about a dangerous heat wave in my area. About 8 hours later- a ‘missing child’ alert. From 2014 and hundreds of miles away. I honestly don’t know what to tell these developers. In true emergencies I’ve gotten better notifications from the government. Like, loud constant warnings on my phone. And I’m totally confused about missing child alerts. I’ve been driving and seen Amber Alerts on road signs which are hours old, but with no phone notifications. The ones I do get are YEARS old Get it together, guys, please
I don’t want to have to grant the app 24/7 access to my location. I live in a small town I should be able to set my location and you alert me. Uninstalling.
I'm a little leery of granting some unknown company access to my location 24/7 (allowing it only “While Using the App” permission defeats the whole purpose of the app). While there is the option to program in additional locations, I cannot program in a particular city of interest and save it, unless I also allow the app to access my current location (Always or While Using the App), which I don't want to do.
This app is like the FEMA app except that it’s hyperlocal alerts. Meaning you only get an alert if the earned area includes your gps location. I wish more were using it.
It's ok but seems buggy and redundant warnings et al. Maps don't make sense to me, warnings are cutoff no way to dig deeper to see full text from National Weather Srvc.
Love the app, notifications are great with amazing detail. Highly recommend this app
