Poor! Readability is difficult due to multiple layers that reduce the screen size for available reading. Also alerts seem to come rather late to be useful. Unless you want to run out of your home in a panic with your hair on fire!!

Thank you for your feedback. We’re sorry the alerts are sometimes hard to read or seem delayed. Alerts are issued by local authorities and delivered by the app as soon as they’re released. We’ll share your comments with both the issuers and our development team to help improve the experience.

Better than Canada's broken system. I disabled the alert system on my phone and downloaded this. Now I can get the alerts I need, and filter out the ones that don't affect me. I can decide which alerts bypass DND, and what each type of alert sounds like. if you're an American, you probably don't need this...but this is an essential app for any Canadian who's fed up with the broken system.

can't change notification sounds and the default alarm is very startling. I would not want it to go off when I'm driving. I'm sure people have accidents because of the type of alarm used. This app must change the ability to put your own notifications on.

Thank you for your review. While you can't change the attention tone that plays with a critical alert, you can choose if advisory or information alerts are played with a sound or not in the settings of the app.
