Reviews
Pretty decent
Rogersville, Mo
Like the app need to increase the volume on the siren, I can hear it but not sure I’d hear it in the middle of the night. I live where we can’t hear the tornado sirens
No Blood

My only complaint is that I’m getting notifications advertising statistics and asking for blood. Don’t ask me for blood.
It’s Mediocre

It’s a good app and tells you about storms but when it sends you alerts, you can only read part of them. If you’re going to send people alerts at least let them read the entire alert
Rarely correct

I was very excited about this app and follow my family members but it is often not correct.
Worthless

Alert banners every time it rains, but when I go to the app it says “No alerts in your area.” What good is that?
