Not as functional as the app it replaced. Cannot monitor multiple locations, neither can you enter a home location. Also, the various map overlays are non-functional. I don't have a lot of confidence that this app is going to be much help. 4/6/23 Clarification: The buttons to do all those things are present, they just don't work.

Not Reliable. I got a message from the red cross app stating that in May, the app will be discontinuing it's emergency warning notifications and to go to this app instead. I have had nothing but issues since merging to this app. It often gets stuck in a loading screen loop where it won't show me the main page, and i have to restart the app multiple times to get in. It also crashes a lot. I gave it three stars only because it works well when it wants to work.

The old Tornado App was better. I can't find the settings to make sure that the tornado warnings are not on silent. The sirens that the old app played were the whole reason I had the app. Because I had it set to my location wherever I am, it actually sounded while I was in Nashville at the mall. If we didn't know, we would have been driving in the area of a tornado. Instead we were able to shelter in Bass Pro Shop until it passed.

Our team is ready to help. Let's connect via the app: Go to Info Tab: Tap Report an Issue. Can you check these? App: On Locations Tab, Tap View Location, Tap Bell icon, Under Tornado / Tstorm: Tap Advanced Options, Switch on Show Alerts, Notify w/Sound, Send Notifications. Check device settings - notifications should be enabled under Emergency.

• Changed the default radius to 1 mile to eliminate seemingly ‘duplicate’ alerts.
• Increased additional monitored locations to 8.
• Added percentage completion tool to help you track your preparedness level.
