Emergency: Severe Weather App App Reviews

This app is concise yet thorough tool to make sure my friends and family are safe! It has an abundance of features to check weather conditions, prepare for emergencies and to stay sharp by taking quizzes - all the fantastic features of past Red Cross apps in one place!

Love the fact we can now delete alerts! An invaluable tool.

Great app. Maybe asking for to much but what about family and friends on a DRO or just live in other countries.

Wonderful App for every type of Emergency Info

Twice now have updated my information only to find that it gets wiped out when doing an upgrade. Also the create a plan is different from the other Red Cross apps and wont link them all together. Also would be nice to be able to send plan to family members who could download info to their app.

I have had to enter my information 3 times and not only got kicked off, Im made to start all over from the beginning. I really want this app to work. As an emergency professional that has gone through multiple events, I know the value of staying in touch.

How reliable can this app be at warning you if it continues to remove locations?

I was really excited to use this app, but like others, my tracked locations have been "lost" twice since setting the app up originally about a month ago. It doesnt alert you, either, that your locations are lost, so you simply wont get alerts and wont know that youre not getting them.

Used this during the storms and flooding that hit and continues to hit the Carolinas. The app team and the Red Cross were great in acknowledging a bug I encountered....and more importantly fixed it and followed up to notify me that they did so!!!

This app is very handy and brilliantly designed. Everyone should have this on their phone in case of emergency, in addition to some of the other Red Cross apps.

Three times it has wiped out all of my saved locations. I would really like it but it doesnt alert me when I have saved alerts and I am tired of inputting my locations.

But I cant because it just lost all my saved places. What good is an app like this if the places you monitor keep disappearing? But the first couple days I had it was great, I love the idea and being able to be aware of wildfires around my friends in California, tornadoes near my family in the Midwest and hurricanes near Florida. Please fix this soon and it will be back to 5 stars.

My data keeps disappearing! This would be so great if that didnt happen!

Living in an area with unpredictable weather. Love that I can keep tabs on other world wide locations with loved ones too!

I was woken up in Sarasota Florida to a loud siren on my phone with a warning about an approaching Tornado. Approximately 15 minutes later a tornado passed within a few miles of us. Shortly thereafter another alert sounded, and a second tornado passed through. Both tornados occurred between 3 & 4 a.m. Without this app we would have likely slept through it, but we would have been fine. Unfortunately two people were killed just a few miles away and I cant help thinking that had they had a warning system like this they might have survived.

While reading a magazine from USAA insurance company, it recommended this app. The app asks for locations of ones you care about and provides teaching and quizzes with helpful emergency info presented in an interesting way.

Looks like a great app. Unfortunately every time I update my phone (Part of Appleseed beta program) I have to completely rebuild my locations each time. With family all over the country and world, it makes for a long task. Once this is fixed (fed back to developers already) I would gladly put on my phone.

App woke me up along with the furniture moving. Site/app really valuable. Highly recommend it.

Its very useful. I live in a place with strong winters, and thanks to this app I now know what to do during winter storms.

This app has good review tests to help you plan ahead for emergencies. Without burdening you with complicated steps to go through even someone such as a child (10 and older) can follow the easy-to-use step by step instructions. I installed this app in all my families cell phones and Pads, even my 10 year old grandson.
