## Review summary

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 However, many users repeatedly report critical reliability problems: the app is poorly maintained and outdated, with frequent crashes and compatibility issues; alerting often lags, fails, or stops; data entry for contacts/health info is unclear; and customer support is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- Poor maintenance and updates: outdated UI and compatibility issues with newer iPhones.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.
