Ratings and reviews

After downloading, I setup my user name and password and clicked on login...it won't let me log in. A window came up after several attempts stating that this app was designed for an older version and to ask the developer to see if they upgraded yet. Removing this app now! Waste of time!

Won't let me log in and doesn't show the same icon as other app stores. Says my information is wrong even though I'm using my online information. No Blackboard MyConnect connection either.

For an emergency alerting app, its worthless when it randomly crashes during use. Unacceptable.
