User Reviews

Reviews applaud the app's timely, customizable local/national alerts and affordable price, plus ease of use and real-time news access. However, many users repeatedly report critical reliability problems: the app is poorly maintained and outdated, with frequent crashes and compatibility issues; alerting often lags, fails, or stops; data entry for contacts/health info is unclear; and customer support is unresponsive.
Pros
  • Real-time, customizable local and national alert notifications.
  • Reasonable subscription price/value.
  • Easy-to-use interface with a clean, well-laid-out design.
  • Useful for businesses or individuals who rely on minute-by-minute updates.
Cons
  • Poor maintenance and updates: outdated UI and compatibility issues with newer iPhones.
  • Alerts/notifications are unreliable: slow, delayed, or fail to push (including missing sounds).
  • Frequent crashes and stability problems (crashes on open, unstable across devices).
  • Unclear data-entry UI for contacts/health information; privacy concerns are implied.
  • Weak customer support and slow or unhelpful responses to issues.

So I switched to this app from BNN. I live within the county of the apps origin so I figured it would be pretty decent locally. Nope. Very few actual events shared. I reached out to the admin to become a tipster. Radio silence. I think if they had more people involved maybe it would be decent. The footprint is there. Price is super reasonable. Seems like a product managed by someone with another full time job so he/she isn’t there to do the updates certain hours.

I don’t see where you put the information of the people that you want contacted if something happens. I don’t see where you put anything but your name address phone number blah blah blah where do you put your health conditions??? All the info I saw on the news that you add to it???
