ping4alerts! for Android
Good for weather alerts. Amber alerts are seldom local and may be from other states.
Not bad if set right
Excellent program, gives NWS alerts faster than the weather radios do. Perfect
It doesn't work. I only get alerts when I restart my device. (Yes, battery optimization is off.) I just rebooted and got 2 days worth of queued alerts, and I don't need an app that gives me a dozen warnings about yesterday's weather.
Same as Amber Alerts but for All Ages, Thaaank You So Very Much
Surrounded by crazy severe weather and tornado watches/warnings/flooding T+storm and not an alert from ping 4 in sight.
Can't open app Android 6.0.1 Nexus 6
No problems crashing on my samsung galaxy s3. Great app.
I was in Tennessee and it went off in the middle of the night with a tornado warning.

I loved this app, but now it no longer works. I kept getting a notice that it needed to be updated, but every time I tried to update I got an error message. I tried uninstalling it, but when I tried to reinstall it, I get the same error message and it will not install.
Nice to know weather ahead of time and be right
Will no longer install on my LG G3. Android 6.0 VS98547A. Shame...

Ping4 works anywhere and the alerts come a few senconds before the TV puts the warning on. Very informative and doesn't consume lots of battery.
Great app!
Excellent program if you truly watch the weather around you. !!!!!!!!!
Such a convenient app
Finally Android 6.0 supported. No crashes. Works great! Nexus 5
Edit: 2/11/16 Doesn't work on 6.0, constantly force closes.....Better than anything else I've found. Was perfect at letting me know when my city declared a snow emergency.
I've had the app on my phone for a year for the past three months I haven't gotten one alert all the settings are the same, Cape Coral fl
Several tornado warnings issued not a peep from this app. Amber alert issued and again not a peep from the app. Just another app to leech info from your phn or tablet..Better apps out there just search an read reviews..

I used to be able to depend greatly on this app. Now it seems very unreliable. A lot of times when I travel to different places I'll get alerts that occurred in that area from several days ago. It seems to alert me with new stuff like it's supposed too, but being alerted to old alerts is aggravating.
It helps me realize severe weather.
Severe weather alerts for my area are delayed. I live in tornado alley and I need them asap. Will be looking for something better.
Ping4Alerts
I got the flood warning we were having immediately. I would really love to have a link to the river gauges and flood forecasting for the river affecting me as well. This way I could have a bit more warning, or check them even if there is no warning. Grateful for the app though!
this is a very accurate, up to the minute with warnings and alerts app. Highly recommend.
Works great!
Really useful and nice feature to view registered sex offenders
Not enough use yet to give a 5 star rating
Keeps us updated locally
But to their credit, they are VERY helpful in troubleshooting problems.
Great at first then it stopped working-give it one more try after deleting & reinstalling!
Just saw these guys on the FOX 25 news, I've gotten a couple weather alerts for severe thunderstorms. The sex offender map is a good idea. But only for the guys that register. But it is detailed with their convictions and has their pictures.
Got the alerts,
I have loaded the uninstall and reloaded the app but for some reason I keep getting weather and other alerts for texas like dallas /ft worth when I am in sturbridge Massachusetts still having location a issues I am in Massachusetts amd getting alerts for Texas 6/18/14 PLEASE PLEASE FIX
It would be helpful I could turn off the sex offenders alerts. They are not helpful and when moving through the city it buzzes constantly. The rest seems fine. Considering uninstalling it.

It would get 5 stars except that when i moved to a new city and updated my "home" it still showed me alerts for the old "home". Otherwise i love it. Especially living in a tornado prone area, i can get the info i need regardless of whether the tv or radio is on.
