I love this ability to tell all around the world if someone I know may need to take care during an emergency warning. I live in Britain but my daughter and brother live in Ohio USA; I am able to give them a message telling them five hours ahead of the fact of an emergency weather bulletin in their areas. I even have friends in Eastern Europe and in many other parts of the world for whom I can alert them of a potential danger. Highly recommended.

I'm now getting alerts for rain ice and floods other side of the country. I only want alerts where I live in Manchester. I sent up radius areas but I'm getting alerts for floods from rivers in Yorkshire or Wales... I'm 100% sure it won't effect me one bit. Please only give alerts for the areas I specified like it used to.. Other then that it's good to get the alerts.. Just not when it's over 200 miles away etc.

Yes, a great idea. Seems still in development? Location search doesn't appear very good at present. I have to settle for the nearest major location rather than a specific location. As I said great idea and I like it, just needs a bit more work perhaps.

M70%

Love the alerts functionality for bad weather. Unfortunately I sometimes get them for areas I'm not interested in.

C70%
by C####:

Fantastic! The free app includes: - Regular weather/emergency alerts where you can add multiple locations and lets you be in control of which weather/emergencies you wish you be included/excluded with alerts - What to do before, during and after multiple disasters (including car breakdown, first aid tips and terrorist attacks etc) - Toolkit that includes phone flashlight, strobe light, alarm and a "I'm safe" text message that sends your written message and your location (if GPS is switched on) to whom you choose - 'Information' and 'help' button - Quizzes to help you strengthen your memory in case of an emergency Only Con: Regular updates can get a bit annoying at times but if this wasn't the case, then the app wouldn't be doing it's job correctly.

U70%
by U####:

When you search a place to add, the search comes back with no match...every time! Don't waste your time installing this one.

S70%
by S####:

Works well generally and is a fantastic idea, however it could be easier to configure and please make it so the back button goes back a page and not exits as that's annoying. Also I'm getting a lot of alerts, usually weather related and when it zooms on the map it's nowhere near any of the locations ive set up to monitor!
