Ratings and reviews

Very well made. The alerts come 1-2 seconds before the city physical sirens. The only issue is that it does not update your location sometimes, so I once got a siren in the app for a nearby area and ran for no reason to a safe place, and sometimes I *KNOW* what area I am in and it shows a nearby area instead (for up to 10 minutes until it finally updates to my real area), or it says "in your area" instead of the area's name so I know my position is not correctly synced with the app.

Fantastic App, but 1 glaring issue reduces it from 5 stars to 3. It's the persistent "Operating In The Background" pop up notification. You've had enough time to fix this! I would turn it off completely, but I fear missing a notification. Please fix this immediately! If there is a competitor, I will migrate to theirs.

This app saves lives. It deserves a 5-star, but 2 things are really annoying and must be fixed before I'll give it a 5-star rate: 1. The main notification that pops every few seconds and says "this app runs in the background". Please think of something else to keep this app alive. 2. Please add more sounds. The current sounds are creepy.
