Viaero CMAS Application for Android
Can not access preferences. Not sure it's even working. Please fix. Worked great last year on my old phone.
Somehow i cant go to the preferences to change the settings
EMT for Washington county and South YW ambulance service
I didn't use it during any alerts that would set it off,but I had to uninstall it because several times a day, up to sometimes several times an hour, it would crash and it would let me know every time, interrupting what I was doing.
Mmmmmmmm works

I installed this app on my Sprint EVO 4G/HTC Supersonic about 3 weeks ago. It sat quietly in the background, not appreciably extending my battery life, until this afternoon, when a Required Monthly Test went off and knocked me out of my socks. :-) The FEMA Alert Noise, as it turns out, is the 5 tone burst of EAS data tones you hear when an EAS broadcast comes on the radio or TV, which I suppose is sensible. You can select whatever noise you want, except for the Presidential Alert, which you also cannot disable. I think CMAS/iPAWS is a great idea, and I recommend that every single Android owner find a way to receive these alerts from their carrier; my thanks to Viaero for putting this app in the store *and not locking it to specific hardware*. RFE: when I select an alert, the app should, like all others, *play the alert tone when I select it*; I had no way to know what the noise was going to be. Also, you should document whether it overrides all mutes; I will assume it does, which is good for all usage except tactical--if it will get you shot, you don't care about the tornado warning. Also, a "Wait 60 seconds, then simulate a [selectable alert" function would be handy.
I got this app to work on Page Plus, a Verizon MVNO. However, it seems to require a data connection to function, which is ridiculous for a supposed text only alert. Uninstalling in search of a better solution. Oh, and scanning for signs of Airpush yield nothing, so I think that reviewer is mistaken.
What can't the wireless carrier do. Great App
Works great for delivering the severe weather alerts from NWS.
