## Description

myAlerts provides location-based notifications to help you stay informed and safe. Add the places that matter—home, work, your child’s school, or a loved one’s residence—and enable location monitoring to receive alerts on the go.

Severe Weather Alerts are delivered in real time from the National Weather Service, with per-location and severity customization. Public Safety Alerts notify you about urgent events from participating agencies, such as active incidents, hazards, wildfires or evacuations, and Community Notifications cover local updates like road closures and outages. Note: if a location isn’t covered by a Konexus-connected agency, you’ll still get weather alerts but not local safety or community notices. For more coverage in your area, contact your local public safety office.

## Review summary

Users report serious issues with the myAlerts app failing to provide vital emergency notifications for their selected areas while sometimes sending irrelevant or duplicate alerts elsewhere. The app lacks customization for alert types and does not allow deleting saved locations. Although it once delivered rapid warnings, recent performance is unreliable and inconsistent across devices, leading to user frustration and distrust. Battery drain during location monitoring and confusing alert displays further reduce its usefulness. Despite some positives, these major flaws compromise its role as a dependable alert tool.

### Pros

- App used to work well and provided early severe weather alerts ahead of other sources.
- Clear and straightforward interface for receiving alerts.
- Helpful for monitoring multiple locations simultaneously.
- Test alert feature allows users to verify notifications.
- Useful on some devices (e.g., iPhone) where alerts are received reliably.

### Cons

- Fails to send timely or any alerts for severe weather and emergencies in selected areas.
- Sends duplicate alerts for the same event if multiple areas overlap.
- Alerts often show for locations not selected by the user.
- No option to customize alert types or toggle specific warnings on or off.
- Inability to delete saved locations, causing clutter and confusion.
- App is a heavy battery drain when monitoring current location.
- Alerts can arrive with no matching details or cannot be found in the app once notified.
- Erratic performance across different devices, with some users receiving no alerts despite active threats.
