Decent app but when you look at the map, there's so many Red Cross markers than you can hardly see anything. SUGGESTION: The Red Cross pins should be a layer that you can disable.
This app does not show the development of storms in early stages as it did a few years ago. The Weather Channel shows a storm on TV earlier than this app does. The fact that the developers do not reply to comments shows the lack of interest in the use of this app.
Still undecided this will be my first time using this app and on Hurricane Dorain. Live in Central Florida it would be great if I could share this info with my other parts of the family. I also noticed that you don't keep the news viedoes from day to day of the hurricane when it started. l like to keep a log of it's progress with the other information.
Thought this would be great to mointer hurricane coming at florida. Only if i want to watch the weather from 200 miles away. I need to know if i need to take cover in central florida not southern florida!!! Useless app. I would give a zero however to leave a comment i needed one star . Do not rely on this app for your safety in a storm.
Helpful but no option to turn off alert sounds? So annoying to have constant music and tornado sirens going off.
This app never gives me just one notification. Instead it will go off like five times in a row. Very annoying.
This app used to give information about each storm by touching the various dots along is past and projected future path. No longer does that.
Installed app a few days ago. It has been very helpful in keeping me up dated. I live in Colorado but have family and own property in South Louisiana.
Turning off sound alerts didn't work and radius is not accurate. Had phone producing tornado siren in meetings.
You need to make it to were you can disable notifications, I can't use my phone for all the notifications coming thru.
Helped me through tropical storm. Tornado alerts were extremely important. Radius parameters are key!
I cant see anything on the map because it is covered with red cross shelters pins, and you cannot remove them. Horrible design.
It's just not really working for my phone. I don't no why. Guess I'm uninstalling. It really is such a shame. I expected more from the red cross.
Needs a LOT OF WORK-particularly in the ACTUAL ALERT DEPT.!! We do NOT RECOMMEND THIS PUPPY at all--we'll see if it grows up to be GOOD, ESPECIALLY WITH AUDIO ALERT CAPABILITY.
I love the app its the best because it informs me when a hurricane is coming or like a tornado and u can add family and frieds to do its amazing that's that's y I love the app.
Very nice, I have been in Fla., Twice and helped run shelters, and 1 other, TYVM for the opportunity to serve others.🌹🌹🌹🌟👍
I get alerts about tornados not only where I am but in the cities I added. Happy with this app.
It really has no information there's two big storms bearing down on us I thought of all places Red Cross would be the best place to look for this but there's nothing
Can't find way to turn off alerts. Had to uninstall.
*ANYONE NOTICE THAT THERE ARE NOT ANY REPLIES FROM THE RED CROSS?🔇🔕 I couldn't make heads or tails out of the app & I'm using a S8+. It wouldn't even "take" the correct city's when they were typed in. I was hoping for much more from the Red Cross! I was expecting for something that was well done & accurate. For some reason irhsts neither! Completely USELESS to me. Wouldn't do anything correctly! UNFORTRUNATELY... UNINSTALLING NEXT!
