App History & Updates
What's Changed
We heard some users were finding the grey font hard to read so we've now made it black
We know some of you use larger font sizes on your phone's so now we observe that too and make the alerts nice and big
Some of you reported a bug where our app was using too much space so we put the app on a little diet meaning you can have that space back.
Fixed a bug where deleting monitored locations would incorrectly report success when it wasn't. We recommend pulling down to refresh your locations.

First of all, I want you clarify. This is actually a good app. Good information, good warnings, I do recommend it. However! It is absolutely horrendous on notifications. The same single floor warning will initiate a dozen buzzes on the phone, replicating the warning over and over as different warnings. If you have both Hurricane and Flood apps, you get twice that. They have to fix this!

10 more alerts in less than 30 seconds, so uninstalled horrible apps. I just received 7 alerts in less then a minute for a flood warning. Twenty two alerts from 6:45pm to 9:45 PM, same status! Really?! One is plenty. Let me know if conditions change. I don't need my phone going crazy with alert after alert.

In prepare Q4 it keeps saying I got wrond. I've tried various options even taken some likely ones out & adding unlikely ones in. I chose first aide kit water & flash light at time I've wven included toiletries. How am I getting it wrong? Doubt printer clock soccer ball & guitar are in the preparedness kits. Other than that I like the app. It's informative & helpful.

Stop nagging me to review. *CRITICAL* -2- inches of fast running water can have enough force to sweep you off your feet, especially on slippery / uneven surfaces. Change it. Do it now. EDIT: Get Espanol off the option bar and put it back in the settings where it belongs. You already asked me three times!

Great preparedness app for anyone who might experience a flood. Way to go, Red Cross! The only improvement I can suggest is the inclusion of up-to-date flood maps for areas I've chosen to monitor.
