Ratings and reviews

Breaks constantly, Everytime I want to use it I need to clear the cache and storage of the app or I just get a white screen forever. And the notifications don't show up until minutes (I've seen up the 10 minutes) after the Dal alert email is sent out. Which doesn't make sense for a emergency app.

So much for Dal "safe", warns of weapons on campus but crashes when it sends shelter in place notifications. Beyond embarrassing and wholly unsafe. Awesome job Dalhousie, way to spend the money on important things

It used to work just fine before. But after update, it doesn't work anymore. I have to clear data Everytime and start everything from scratch
