About this app

RedAlert was developed by volunteers to provide real-time emergency alerts for Israeli citizens.

The app relays real-time safety alerts published by the Home Front Command (Pikud Haoref).

★ Speed & reliability - alerts are received before / during the official siren thanks to dedicated notification servers
★ Location-based alerts - receive emergency alerts on the move in addition to city / region selection
★ Threat types - receive alerts about rocket fire, hostile aircraft intrusion, terrorist infiltration, and more
★ Alert history - see the list of recent alerts, their location, and time of day (in your local time)
★ Connectivity test - check, at any time, whether your device is able to receive alerts via the "self-test" option
★ Sound selection - choose from 15 unique sounds for alerts or choose a custom sound
★ Silent mode override - the application will override silent / vibrate mode to sound alerts
★ Vibration - your phone will vibrate in addition to playing the selected alert sound
★ Area selection - select preferred alert cities / regions by searching for them
★ Countdown - alerts will display the estimated time until impact
★ I'm safe - let your friends and family know you are safe by sending an "I'm safe" message via the app
★ Localization - the app has been translated to multiple languages (Hebrew, English, Arabic, Russian, Italian, Spanish, French, German, and Portuguese)

4. Location-based Alerts require enabling a foreground service which updates your location in the background, even when you don't use the app.
5. There is an optional remote messaging foreground service which improves alert delivery in real time when the app is in the background.

Ratings and reviews

A great app, so reliable! All the apps out there get their data from the same API, but this is the one I always recommend because its features and customization are simplest to manage. The ability to easily configure primary and secondary alert sounds, including alert volume, is literally a life saver. Thank you!

Works well,great UX and UI. I would urge you to show less notifications that merely state the service is working. (connected to notification service etc) It is useful to get the ''reconnecting'' to know about disconnects but merely stating everything is working in high intervals is disrupting when using the device.

This app is so essential, thank you for it! Can I ask that you work on translating the messages according to the language set by the user? I know it's a new feature, and it's definitely very helpful already, but in future updates I would really really appreciate the messages to stay in the safe space or leave the safe space etc be in the selected language. Thanks again, this app is a lifesaver at for me, especially at work in the kindergarten!
