Emergency for Android
Excellent
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.
Love the alerts functionality for bad weather. Unfortunately I sometimes get them for areas I'm not interested in.
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.
Failed to find my postcode and I got an error message when trying to get into the alerts feature
Don't understand why I get weather alerts for areas im nowhere near
This App is a must use it at Work and Home also use it to warn other members of the family.
Too general, too many alerts. Crying Wolf issues
All ways there if needed in an emergency.
I don't have an issue getting alerts for my area and I always find them relevant.
Easy to configure and use. No issues in finding places like some users. Great app
Pops up warnings when appropriate, always reassuring.
Very informative and always keeps me updated on conditions locally
Great app for keeping up to date with flood warnings etc-
Really great at notifications about flooding
When you search a place to add, the search comes back with no match...every time! Don't waste your time installing this one.
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!
Nothing in it to warrant its size and the quizzes are suitable for 8 year old.disapointing app
Settings can b finniky but do work alerts come through as they are issued ....but seemingly only if location service enabled???.weather aps able to tell you about alerts without this battery draining option turned on don't see why this ap can't ??
Did not like post codes but fine with town name. Other wise ok
Great idea, and it's the only app I know where the best outcome is never needing to use it!
App only send you alerts on flooding in England. It is far too big, some of the information and quizzes are too simplistic.
Great app!! Everyone should have this installed, especially with all the flooding that now seems commonplace in the UK..
I expected to be alerted as stated in the write up but no alert nor alarm was forthcoming today when we had floods in Swindon. Shall be deleting.
So far so good, will see how it works when an alert comes through! Have been able to add people n places without a problem.
I would highly recommend this very well thought out and potentially life saving app. Please encourage as many of your friends as possible to down load it. Keep up the good work.
Should be installed as standard on all phones!
Great app for keeping an eye on the weather in the areas that are important to me!
Great now i will no when the bad weather is due happy days
Not put into practice yet
It is useful and easy to use. I love it
Why am I getting emergency notifications for places I'm not in, battery killer.
It's great, but some way of changing or turning off the notification sound would be helpful
Easy to configure and use. No issues in finding places like some users. Great app
Amazing free app fantastic guidance and alerts
Should be free app in all phones
Should be standard fitting on mobile.
