I love the newest features of having emergency plans and checklists within the app itself! Personally I have been using this app for the past couple of years to receive alerts, for my area as well as for friends and family, and then be able to forward those alerts to them. I love how how you can also have your preparedness plans and checklists on the app itself! Also love the learning modules! Highly recommend as I’m extremely happy with the app’s performance and especially with the newest features!

This is making me incredibly frustrated. This is two times within a week that i have been in a tornado warning location with not a single warning from this app… on anyone’s phone! The tornado warning a week ago actually produced a tornado on the ground and without someone watching the news randomly at my daughters dance class no one would have known! Tonight thank God my husband was watching the news and there was a tornado warning for our location 30 minutes before your measly little warning came out. If i hadn’t of already been awake i would not have even heard that little notification. It sounded the exact same as the notification for a thunderstorm warning! What happened to the blaring siren y’all used to put out with the guy saying “tornado warning” with it?! Fix your issues… if you’re supposed to be an emergency notification app maybe it would be important to announce those emergencies properly.

I absolutely love this app. We’ve had a bit of weird weather lately that requires seeking shelter, and while I hate the feeling I get from the loud alarm sound from a tornado warning on here, it is 100% appreciated because it could wake me from a dead sleep in time to get kids and pets to safety. The radius recommendations are perfect. The thought process behind the features on this app are comforting and appropriate. I recommend this app for all my family and friends.
