Is Emergency legit?
🤔 The Emergency app's quality is mixed. Some users are satisfied, while others report issues. Consider reading individual reviews for more context.
I keep getting NOAAA alerts as “Updates”, when they are simply repeats of the same message. On Sunday, I got FOUR messages of a Fire Wether alert for TUESDAY! Overall, I have received at least 12 of the same messages since Thursday!
5/5 Star
Perfect Redcross App to keep families safe when there is a Wildfire, Blizzard, High Winds, Tornado or anything that’s Emergency it will Alert fast!! Thanks
Best api to the NOA
On the tsunami alert December 5th 2024 on the pacific, the app was earlier than the government and push notifications from iPhone alerts
Not like the old version
I got a new phone and had to download the newest version of this app. What happened to downloading your contacts to making sure that they were OK I liked being able to check in on my family members. Just sending them notifications asking if they were OK that was a great feature with this app. I can’t find it now.
Awkward & hard to customize
Can’t set up app without enabling critical alerts (alerts that ignore your phone’s silent settings)—you have to enable them, then go through every possible type of alert to disable them one by one. Also, the map has “Blockson Middle School” in Philadelphia as an undeletable “saved location” and continually recenters the map to there? (I am in Chicago and only monitoring Chicago.) App needs work, especially to streamline, simplify, debug, and regularize the location and toggles of the many (many!) settings menus.
Useless app!
Useless, unless you want super loud annoying critical alerts going off repeatedly for daysthat are for areas so far outside your zone that they have nothing to do with where your location is. I’m deleting this app.
You ruined it
Your new “extra services available” blocks my iOS ability to access and read the warnings details. I have family in tornado warning now. I used a different source to learn and warn
Everyone involved in this app should be FIRED.
NEW REVIEW: I tried this app again, it is still just as horrific as it has ever been. Absolutely totally and completely useless. I am uninstalling it yet again. My god what is wrong with you?!
————
ORIGINAL REVIEW: Whoever wrote this app should be FIRED. Whoever designed this app should be FIRED. Whoever approved this app should be FIRED. This app is absolutely horrific. It makes no sense. It is unusable. In no way whatsoever is this app going to make anyone safer. Isn’t that the point? Have you read the other reviews??
Best app ever
This is the best app ever because it’s free and you can warn me if there’s any dangerous in my area which I think it’s pretty nice so that’s why I get this five stars
Would be nice…..
Great information! This app would be even better if there were a place to record data like evacuation zone and route info, important numbers to resources and family emergency plans in case our family gets separated. It would also be nice if the app gave you emergency contact numbers for resources in my area.
