2026-05-24	We*****	I had an issue with the location to alert me about, same county in different State. No problem correcting that and it's functioned as intended ever since. I have set it for alerts in my county so tracking me isn't necessary. I have 4 more areas I can set if I am traveling. For specific evacuation routes, then I might need tracking functionality, and I'll deal with it when and if the time comes.

2026-04-09	Gr*****	I'm about to uninstall this app. It sends me multiple useless and unwanted notifications every day telling me that it's running in the background and that it's tracking me. I have it set to critical notifications only, and I only want to be notified in the event of an emergency. I have sent this feedback twice through the app without receiving a response.

2026-02-11	Mr*****	it did ok at warning me of emergencies once or twice but it spends more time asking for permission to track my activity. Why? I'm not giving it permission to track me until I know why it needs to know.
