NH Alerts for Android
This app is great but it keeps crashing when I'm trying to view emergency alerts in my area. The weather warnings are fine, it's just the active emergency alerts. Please fix this so I can use the app to it's potential.
The app crashes when I click on an emergency.
Works great
Constantly crashes when you open it to review local area alerts. What's with all these American Water alerts, waste of my time. Really poor app. It'll definitely crash in a real state wide emergency.
Once, I got an alert just fine and could hear what it was but if I wasn't on my phone then I couldn't click on the text to read what the 26 alerts were that I supposedly had. Zooming out on the map didn't show the alerts anywhere in my county or state.
The best app for Android devices
My first two EMERGENCY alerts were for a road closure and a rusty water condition in towns that are 30 miles away from where I am. I do not consider these emergencies even in the loosest terms. I am uninstalling.
Accurate
The system should not report minor neihborhood road closures due to construction. Also we need to be able to lock in on an area to monitor, like home when we are away. An app marketed as an emergency alert system and pushed by the State of New Hampshire should be rock solid and dependable for real emergencies. This app falls far short as a piece of emergency gear. Update 5/13/16 app crashes when trying to open an alert.
You have it right in the docs that in case of a lawsuit you will provide my information to other parties and that you will obey any request by the authorities. I'm far from the only person taking issue with how you are treating data. Why don't you take a more protective stand on user data? You say any request from authorities in the application and you say a judges request in your response so which do you really mean.
Meh
get a notification, launch the app, just see spinning circles - worse than useless, because people may think this is reliable.
Brings in nothing relevant. All the alerts I've received so far have been for far outside my set range. I don't care what is going on in Massachusetts. I live and work in New Hampshire. That's why I loaded this app.
I keep getting notifications that there's a new alert. When I open the alert I get an error saying no alerts found or sometimes as an alert with the title of test and no details. I think someone is testing the system and doesn't realize they're impacting all users.
It sounded like a great idea, but all I got were notifications but it wouldn't load What the warning was
Running on a Nexus 4 with Lollipop. It takes forever (minutes) to refresh data when opening the app and usually fails to do so. Just received 3 audio alerts in a row, opened the app and it failed to update, then crashed. Also randomly crashes when trying to update itself. Not ready for prime time, uninstalling. Will try it again in a couple months.
Needs faster refreshing. Also am getting outside Nh and New England messages some empty Hopefully Emergency Management at the state level has more input
I wonder why the app needs access to my pictures and other media files? Update: thanks for the reply. It's irritating that Android has such broad permission categories.
It repeatedly alerted of the same thing. Then when I opened the alert, it would take 5 minutes to load the alert, and the map would constantly start me in Africa, as I type this the app has gone off twice for the same alert that I opened... Also, wouldn't it be a cool option to show the weather patterns on the map? I mean if it is going to constantly alert me of a wind chill show me how cold it will be throughout the state or if there will be a major storm show me where it is raining. So I have to delete it
Nothing loads!! Always getting a load error. Waste of time!!
High battery usage, could be a detraction
I am uninstalling this right now. It's awful. Keeps sending me the same alerts over and over and when I try to open them I get a map of Africa and the alert never actually loads and I just get error messages.
Uses a lot of battery
Takes forever to load alerts and I only wanted alerts within 10 miles and ended up with every thing. I uninstalled it and will wait until they fix issues.
Keeps telling me there are local warnings but wont load the details. Whats the point of knowing theres a problem if I cant see what it is?
I'm in Newport and have set my alerts for a 10 mile radius and did not select travel alerts. However, I receive multiple travels alerts for 25+ miles away. Got so annoying I uninstalled the app.
Only does 73%.
