This is an emergency notification. Do ya think you could put the info details out in a darker gray or black type so I can actually read it without a magnifier.

This is a wonderful app to have. You can monitor the whereabouts of your family and theyll be warned of eminent danger.
This app sends me the same severe weather notifications almost every half hour. Its beyond annoying, especially when the weather system is a hurricane or tropical storm that lasts a few days.
Nice to have all the alerts in one app - but the problems that plague the other Red Cross apps have for some reason been put in this app, too. Need ability to set a different alert radius for each type of alert for the same location without creating a separate location for each type of alert. Example: 5 miles for Tornado but 10 miles for Hurricane. The Alerts themselves are unreadable due to faint font. There is no option to select a color you can actually see. The map does not show any weather. It doesnt matter which overlay you choose - the entire U.S. is totally cloudless, rainless, wind-free - none of which is true according to the NOAA. I stopped giving to the Red Cross.
Great app for alerting me to emergency situations as they happen. Can customise my locations and track where my friends and family live.
This is an extremely valuable app. I just have two suggestions... 1) For checking on family, you need more than just a phone #. It should notify any device attached to the family members (i.e., iPad, computer, etc) even if that device has no phone #. So if someones phone is lost or damaged in an emergency, they could still respond that they are safe via their iPad, etc. This could be accomplished by linking devices through not just phone #s, but also via email addresses, iCloud, FaceTime, or even partnering with 3rd party apps like Skype, Facebook Messenger, or Twitter. 2) The alerts should have the ability to set a different radius for each type of alert, rather than all alerts for a location having the same radius. Other than that, its very good.
cant even allow location,worst app ever says Ive got no internet or wifi but I do and I even restarted my phone and still nothing u actually get a no star but in order to write review I had to give a star I wont recommend to anyone
App is fine, except I cant stop repetitive nuisance requests without turning off notifications. But that would diminish the value of the App.
Decent app if you dont need glasses. I couldnt find mine during a severe storm the other evening, so I couldnt read the light gray print. I had to get the information somewhere else. Please change all the print to black!
I liked the different quizzes for every kind of emergency to test how much I didnt know about each one.
Fire alerts are lacking. Im less than 10 miles from a fire with smoke over my house and no alert. It is set on my phone correctly
The app does what its supposed to do however, Im giving it 2 stars because it gives you to the same alert over and over and over and over and over and its annoying as all get out. Got it the first time, once is enough.
Need to be able to set radius of alerts to suppress out of area alerts - "my area" doesnt include forty miles away and weather moving away from me!
In the middle of a terrible thunderstorm right now.....never got an alert. Best to find a new app!!!
Works okay, but notifies me of stuff outside of the geographical area I specified regardless of what I set the boundary to.
Currently there is a fire raging on Hunter Peak. My ranch is on XUX Rd which has been evacuated. Never got a notice!
This is an essential app. Warnings are accurate and timely. Recommended.
Uses way to much storage.
being woken in the middle of the night when receiving notifications 10 - 12 hours AFTER they have been issued and have long since expired. ???
Downloaded this app during a stormy night to stay on top of tornado warnings. It worked well for that purpose, now, two days later, and I still get warnings day and night for the same storm...I cant take it anymore, I have to delete..... Too bad.
