Ratings and reviews

Update: issue was fixed the next time I checked the app. Maybe just a temporary bug, I don't know. This app is very good/useful. (My only complaint is that **the in-app articles should be available offline**, at least optionally). Old review: It worked great for a long time. Now, it doesn't let me add locations (nothing comes up when I enter a city or zipcode). I tried un/reinstalling, but now I can't get any local information. Will fix review if issue is fixed

I keep getting the same "Wind Chill Advisory" alert every 10-20 minutes. I had to disable it because it was going for over 2 hours now. Update: Disabling the "Wind Chill Advisory" didn't help. I'm still getting spammed by the same alert. I even restarted my phone. I guess I'll disable a few categories. Update 2: I literally toggled off all alerts in the alert preferences and I still keep getting those notifications. Uninstalling. 12/15/2024: Alert preferences are still not working.

NO ADs, no delays getting timely, pertinent, & accurate information throughout the country. Connection to resources and shelters at your fingertips. Great preparation information to prevent or reduce harm. I recommend this app in-person to everyone (my nephews would think I'm a broken record of they knew what that meant). Very responsive tech team. Rarely do they change the format/GUI, so everything is exactly where you expect it every time, which is critical in a real emergency.
