Ratings and reviews

Extremely outdated design. No option to pan around the map and select the regions during setup. Instead the user is forced to spend an unnecessary large amount of time and type the name of the city or jurisdiction, often unknown. There's a follow me feature which is a major battery drainer. Many areas in Metro Vancouver overlapping on the map. App is a great concept but terribly executed. Developers refuse to listen and modernize the app and features after 7 years.

It is very useful, thanks. The messages are not always that clear to understand (eg same sound for warning as for warning cancelled, and the wording sometimes not being the clearest), but it is still very useful. I wish it gave you more options as to what alerts to hear and which to leave silent. But thanks for the app, it's useful.

This app gives me useful official alerts for exactly the localities I choose (Vancouver B.C. in my case). Apart from that, it stays out of the way. It is a good tool for staying informed, for the areas it covers.
