| 2024-10-24 |  | | I find this app trustworthy and accurate. It has kept us very well informed of any serious weather systems rolling in. And it's not just for weather information. Like this morning, for example. We received an alert about a dangerous individual possibility in our area. And that we should take precautions if working outside. Once again, a great app to have in your toolbox. |
| 2024-07-22 |  | | This app is timely and helpful. Occasionally, we get alerts for areas not even close to where we live, which can be annoying. Thank you for this service. |
| 2024-07-12 |  | | In general its fairly reliable and useful. Would be nice if the radar on the map was animated so you could see which direction the dangerous systems are moving. |
| 2024-03-03 |  | | Prompts for emergency weather are clear accurate and well timed. Easily customisable for weather types and watches/warnings. I will not use any location settings on devices but the warnings still come through fine as the areas to be monitored are selected manually. |
| 2022-09-07 |  | | There does not appear to be a way to turn off the sound without also dismissing the message at the same time. This discourages a careful reading of the message, which is obviously not the desired outcome. Also, sometimes the sound occurs a second time for the same alert. |
| 2022-09-05 |  | | Does what it is intended to but it's really loud. This is a great app and notifies you appropriately but it would be great if you had the option to control the volume. It's much to loud so I've had to resort to delivering notification quietly which kind of defeats the purpose. |
| 2022-07-18 |  | | An alert at the beginning and ending of a weather event would be sufficient. It seems I am alerted every 15 minutes or so and the volume turns up hugely loud. Still I will keep using the app as it is informative. |
| 2022-07-10 |  | | There should be a selection to receive only "warnings" on this app. For over a week now it's been non stop watches. A person should be able to select what city or region and then select to get only "warning" notices not "watches" notifications if they choose |
| 2021-03-30 |  | | Always accurate and gives me enough notice in any situation since I installed it. The app is also very user friendly and easy to understand, as well as gives clear instructions when advisories and alerts are given based on severity. 5 star rating without a doubt. This also takes the place of Environment Canada and The Whether Network alerts as it also gives that detailed information. Great for overall safety and knowledge. Last update helped improve location accuracy as well. Highly recommend. |
| 2020-08-21 |  | | I spend more time trying to get this app to work properly. The ladt alert from the police about a 4 year old. Will not clear so know I keep hearing the alert going off thought out the day and night. It will not uninstall completly. If you can not keep it working please get rid of it |
