Great for alerts. This app really helps for emergency alerts. 2 things that I recommend be fixed. When you select an emergency for more details, the back button does not work most of the time. Also, the audio files never work on any of them and tell me audio not received. Works pretty well otherwise.

Very unreliable. Our county moved to this program a few years ago. This system works well, when it works which is extremely rarely. I have discovered that I have to remove the app and reinstall it once or twice a week for it to work properly. I was told I needed to choose not to delete old alerts during emergencies, so now I have 100’s of alerts that are old and no new alerts, which there should be. This app and system is extremely unreliable and a waste of time. I strongly discourage any emergency service to switch to this or anyone in the public to rely on it to consistently notify you in case of an emergency.

NOT READY FOR PRIME TIME. I signed up for the service through my local Emergency Management Office. They subscribed our whole county to CodeRED. I have an account through them but the app is not connected to the local CodeRED registration. Why would anyone use two “accounts” for one service. Interestingly though, the competitor service, Everbridge, in adjacent counties does link local registration to their app. Keep up with the competition or you’ll lose market share!

Use the app properly!. All the problems people are complaining about in the reviews seem to be that people are not using the app properly. Only MY alerts are visible when when I tap on ‘My Alerts’. If you don’t want to see ALL alerts for everyone, tap on the ‘MY ALERTS’ button! One reviewer complains about paying for tornado warnings. This App is used by my water company for WATER ALERTS. I don’t know why you are complaining. DOWNLOAD THE FREE WEATHER CHANNEL APP & GET EVERY ALERT POSSIBLE FOR FREE! It’s a National Weather Service app. It’s an excellent app! 🙂

So Wrong!. The premise of this app is great but how the developers have chosen to implement it is SO WRONG! How anyone can put a price tag on saving lives is morally outrageous! What this developer is charging you for is usually given free of charge via text message or automated phone call from most all local, state, city, and county governments. The app actually works which is why I rated it 2 stars instead of the 0 it deserves. The app will notify free users what they deem free emergency, general, and missing person notifications. Yet they want to charge you to get an alert that a tornado 🌪 is at your doorstep or a wall of water is getting ready to wash your home away. This is sickening to me and the developers should be highly ashamed of themselves! In my opinion; search your states, city, or counties website to find free ways to signup and receive life saving notifications for emergency events. By paying this developers price tag per life you are supporting this behavior!

Needs “zero” stars. This app needs a major overhaul before I download it again. I don’t know how many times it has alarmed with an emergency that isn’t anywhere near me. Adjusting the settings didn’t help. And can you imagine how annoying it is for the alarm to go off in the middle of the night—with information not even remotely pertaining to me. I have a hard time giving it even one star.

Wasted my money renewing in the past, and again twice today.. They are counting on the fact that .99 x2 tries is not enough for a consumer to bother getting refunded. This is a particularly dangerous app if you are counting on it for safety. There is a fire near me that has caused evacuation and whose smoke I can see and smell, and yet it doesn’t show up on the map. Some time back, however, it did wake me up in the middle of the night for an Amber alert.

Useless! Don’t bother downloading.. COMPLETELY USELESS APP!! There’s a brush fire about a mile from our house right now. A friend who lives miles away texted me to tell me there was an evac order level 2 for our area. BUT I GOT NO NOTIFICATIONS FROM THE APP!! I opened the app, and sure enough, there was an alert listed, correctly spotted on the map. But no notification was sent!! 🤬 Yes, I have notifications turned on in the app. Yes, I have notifications allowed for the app from within settings. Yes, my notifications radius includes the location of this fire. But I got no notification. IF I HAD RELIED SOLELY ON THIS APP I WOULD NOT KNOW ABOUT THE EVAC ORDER!! Our county emergency services says we are to use this app, BUT WE CANNOT RELY ON IT. THIS IS LITERALLY LIFE AND DEATH AND THIS APP DOES NOT WORK!!!

No alerts. I did not get an alert last week when PD was trying to locate a man with a knife who tried to stab an officer then fled. I only knew because I saw all of the cops in the area. The man then hid in someone’s house in a closet. When he was discovered by the homeowner he tried to stab them. He was caught after that. The ap shows no alerts tonight even though there is a search a few miles away (I saw on a Facebook group site).

Poor implementation and possible security risk. I would rate this app a 0 star if that were possible. Have to register on the website and then separately register the app. The app was recommended by our local E911 director but I don’t think he adequately reviewed it. When I tried to opt out I found that I could opt out of alerts, but there was no mechanism to remove your account data. The opt out site actually says that if you happen to login again, all alerts would be restored. This indicates that your personal information is retained by the company.

Great tool to have in my pocket. I have had this app for years and always provides me with updated information, especially when I travel. Being able to use the mapping interface for my specific area gives peace of mind and also lets me stay up to date with family members who are out of state

Great App when traveling!. I rely on the CodeRED Mobile Alert App when I am traveling to receive important notifications. Recently I was in MA and received a Flood warning! Without this app, my safety could’ve been in danger while traveling on the road. Thank you CodeRED!!

Half baked system. I just want to know if I need to not park in the street because of a snow “emergency”, even if I’m away from home. You can’t really do this. You can enroll online for both SMS and phone calls, but I only want SMS. And with the app you can do a radius alert, but that catches everything within that radius. If I’m away from home I get the wrong alerts. If I’m at home, I get alerts for stuff of no relevance. Oh, I just noticed my town has a winter parking ban listed as “Community” while the next town over has the exact same ban listed as “Emergency”. Um... P.s. app crashes with ease

Fast push notification for tornado. I almost forgot I had this app installed until there was a tornado warning issued for my house an hour ago. I received the CodeRED notification a solid 2 mins before any of the 4 other weather apps I have installed. And 15 mins before I got my Seminole County Alert. Not sure what the county is using but 15 mins is too long during a tornado warning.

No way to silent community alerts etc. Also no way to change sound for missing person, each type of alert should have different alert. Notification about a picnic happening shouldn’t have an alarm bell going off. I just had to turn off notifications like that for this reason. Best of luck fixing it!

Worthless!. Have this app 3 days now and did not receive alerts for golf ball sized hail nor for 🌪️ that went on in our area, but an alert for severe thunderstorm I did. I see over 300 active alerts, but cannot open them. If I click on an alert icon on the map it opens it, click on the ℹ️ and get the info, but then I cannot use the “back” button… doesn’t work either. What is the point of this app if it just doesn’t work? This doesn’t even deserve 1 star. I’ll stick with other free apps that does.

Worthless app. The app doesn’t load the radar, it doesn’t allow you to customize anything, every once in a while your phone will alert that you have weather warnings but it doesn’t let you see the warnings, it doesn’t voice any warnings, and nothing shows on the radar. I’ll stick to the MyRadar app and Fox Weather. Both far superior to this one…

Great mobile app. This is a great app that provides me with general and emergency notifications no matter where I am located. Whether I am in my home town or if I am traveling for work I can receive important information. Highly recommend downloading this app so you are always in the know!

The City, County & State Should Notify You That You Are Being Charged. I downloaded this app and while it was downloading I read some of the comments. When I signed up for this app, I was not told that I would have to pay a fee to use it. While $0.99 per year isn’t that much, the Entity should let you know that you are going to be charged to use this app. If that was done, then I might not have deleted it as soon as it downloaded. I know some cities pay the $0.99 so that you are better protected. Wonder why they all don’t do it??? It’s all about the money, not your life, and that is a real shame!!!!

Active alerts needs to be more customizable. When I open the app and see 80+ “active alerts” but none of them actually apply to me it’s frustrating. The app is overly alarmist and won’t show you details of active alerts either. Instead you have to expand out to see if alerts are occurring where you plan on going, click on them and then see details. It makes it frustrating to use.

Removal of In App Purchase. Thanks for removing the In App Purchase. This will save many lives since this is severe storm and tornado season across the southern states (as we’ve already seen March and the first half of April 2020). I can’t give a 4 or 5 star rating just yet as I just registered but tomorrows weather forecast in my location (central Texas) is calling for severe storms with possible isolated tornados and I will update my review then.

Trash... Just TRASH!. Absolutely GARBAGE to charge people to know if they’re about to be blow away! There was a tornado siren going off and I didn’t know what was going on (I’m originally from South Florida -so not used to tornados- I didn’t know about the sirens UNTIL TONIGHT) because I couldn’t see the alerts without paying. It took me 15 minutes to scroll through social media to figure out what the sirens were about. Had this app functioned like it was supposed to -allowing me to see alerts in my area- I would have been able to get the information I so desperately needed instead of fumbling around like an idiot trying to figure out what to do.

Could be a great notification system but needs work. I downloaded this app after it was recommended by my county. I travel all around the country and thought it would be a good tool for me because often I am in places that I am not familiar with. The alerts seem to come through late in the map overlays especially the radar is so jumpy it doesn’t match up with what other radar apps are showing. I like the concept and I hope that the creators will do work to make this a better app. It seems like a great idea but as of right now this version is not working for me.

Huh?. City website said sign up for CodeRED to get alerts. Clicked link. Registering would not work. Failed each time. Worked connecting via Facebook. odd. Filled in basic profile info. Didn’t say what credentials to use to use moving forward. Ends with page with link to download app. FB info will not work on sane site. Odd. Installed App. App now needs you to completely re-register. Huh? Says that city sign up is completely independent to this app. Huh? Wow, this is insane. Now logged in, App will not show you the supposed active alerts. Not sure what this thing is. Will give it time but the registration process is soooo bad and confusing. The App looks ok but is a brick. Useless. I hope alerts will happen. Who knows.

Used to work. I’ve had this app for years for wildfire evacs, I set my personal radius to 25 miles because fires can move fast. This year though, CodeRed hasn’t alerted me even once to fires in my area! I checked my settings, emailed them twice and no help. The alerts sometimes don’t even show up on the map even though the count is in the corner. Like 204 active alerts but you zoom out and nothing is there. Other people have gotten codered alerts for the River Fire but I haven’t! So frustrating!

Trash!. So apparently there are over 300 alerts in my area. Can’t read any of them. Not one. I signed up thinking I could get notifications on the boil water notice that’s currently happening in my county. Nope, not happening! And yes, a rep from the county’s watershed department said I could get them through the app. Went through the whole sign up process for nothing! If the developer isn’t going to take the time to keep the app up and running properly, then just take it down. And the developer has the nerve to charge for weather updates! Seriously?! I doubt any updates would come through even if I did choose to pay for it. 🙄

SCAM/HACK4Ur$/Waste of$/time; avoid!!. So I downloaded and PAID for the CodeRed app that my county recommended and linked on it’s site. It’s a TOTAL waste of money. It doesn’t allow access to the acct I have created through the county which is the same program/THIS program but online. I had to create/register a NEW account just to find out the two are incompatible. It ALSO has no way to access the Active alerts it has listed nor the message option on the program to read updates. WHAT A WASTE!! It is the most useless app I’ve ever downloaded AND I paid for it!!! I’m very disappointed with the app and even more disgusted that it was recommended for public use when it’s not even compatible with the account I registered with for the online version of this app. I want my wasted money back from this download. I don’t know what to do and am so enraged that I spent money on something that does nothing AND required I Pay annually to have more of NOTHING!! This program is incompatible, incompetent, useless, costly, time wasting, space/memory wasting, a hack to take your funds, disappointing, enraging, nothing like what it claims, lacking in features/operation, A SCAM!!! Wish I could give it NO STARS!!! I’ll delete this and stop leaving negative reviews as soon as I get back my funds wasted here!!!

App doesn’t work with full screen phone. My phone screen is the whole glass area. The app extends into that region and buttons like the back or play button are non-functioning so I have to constantly exit the entire app to go back to previous notifications. There a wide gap between too much information (641 current notices) and not enough (too slow to find the ones in my area. Because I can’t go back, if there are more than one notification, I waste time exiting the app and going back in to see the other notices.

Alerts don’t load. Our county recommended this app. Alerts go off but then don’t load, so you know “something” is happening but God help you the app won’t tell you what. Seems from the ratings the developers should be aware how poorly it functions, curious they haven’t addressed the issues, it doesn’t seem that hard. So I keep it on my phone for alerts then look elsewhere to see if anything is going on - most of the time, nothing is happening. Boo.

Rudimentary Design, No Support. My city & county use CodeRED to communicate information and when the recent Marshall Fire threatened my community I promptly signed up on the website. I then discovered this app, downloaded it and tried to sign in. However, the login I created on the website didn’t work. I tried a password reset, which didn’t work, then contacted their support. A week later I still haven’t received a response. I have received an alert on my phone so that part works. However, you can’t immediately see what the alert is and are prompted to open the app and login. You can continue to the app without logging in and as long as you are using location services you can see the alerts in your area so at least you can use it. The app design is very rudimentary. Compare it to any other app that uses a map to convey information close to your location, such as travel booking apps, and it is crude. It is not easy to use and communicates only the essential information. Overall the app does work but there is clearly a disconnect between their online system and the app. Not being able to login is irritating but not getting a response from customer service is unforgivable, especially considering this is an emergency alert app.

Mixed Bag. As far as I can tell, most of the features of this app are great and the performance seems satisfactory in most areas. It’s not perfect, however. The satellite and RADAR map overlays do not happen, only the street map. I find this totally unacceptable and cannot believe that something like that could be missed in testing. One nice thing about the street map’ though, is that if you go into your account on a computer, you can actually correct where your location is pinpointed. My logging in experience was confusing. First everything was fine, then my credentials were rejected. It turns out that there are two login addresses, apparently for two different parts of the outfit, which is not made clear, is counterintuitive, and, in my opinion, is rather stupid. Getting everything set-up and verified took some persistence, but I managed to do it without turning to Support. About them: I used the provided link in the app settings to tell them about the map problems. My message never reached them, because the server rejected their address. Sounds a bit shady. So, this community alert network that the emergency services of the county that I live in wanted me to sign up with, because we are being surrounded by wildfires, and which, supposedly, millions of people are relying on, doesn’t make sure their app works, doesn’t make it easy to sign up, and may not be on the up-and-up. You’d think they’re in office.

Worthless in northern California. I would be dead by now if I relied on this app to alert me to danger. We have major fires going on in Sonoma and Napa Counties right now, this app doesn’t even show that there’s a fire in Napa or Sonoma at all. This app says there’s 131 active alerts, yet I’m not allowed to click on them or read any of those alerts Still waiting on customer service to get back to me when I contacted them directly through the app....

No login via Facebook?. I created my account originally through the website using my Facebook login. Then when I switched to the app the app does not let you login using your Facebook. I’m sure you can login using your email which is gleaned from the Facebook login but that’s not the point. Why allow you to sign up with your Facebook but then not to login after that using your Facebook? Ugh.

Great app for getting vital alerts. CodeRED is excellent for getting vital information when I am at home or traveling. I didn’t have tv service while camping but this app let me know when my family needed to take cover during severe weather. Thanks for always keeping me informed about critical info.

Poorly Implemented. The concept is a good one, but the definition of ‘emergency’ is poorly thought out. The two alerts I’ve received (with a jarring ‘red alert’ sound) did not apply to my area, and were not remotely emergencies. The last one I got was a notice that a *private road in another town* had not been maintained well enough for the town to plow it...how would that apply to me, or anyone not living on that road? Perhaps I’ll try it again if the signal-to-noise ratio improves.

Informative & Easy to Use. I love how simple this app is to maneuver. I feel safe knowing I’ll receive notifications for my City while home and comfortable that I’ll be alerted while traveling for work.

No notifications!. We had a major storm here last night. Zero notifications from this app! 65 mile per hour winds, hail and rain. If it hadn’t been for another app that I had, we would have been caught in the storm while outside instead of safe in a sheltered area. Our city went to notifications from this app only! At this time it was the WORST decision someone has made! If you could give less than a 1 star I would.

Simply crap!. When an app wastes my time making me give away private information to “create an account “ then congratulates me on successfully creating that account…but then continuously tells me I’m unable to login and I should waste more of my time contacting support….time’s up! You’re done! If you can’t figure out this simple step, imagine how reliable the information you’re putting out would be! No thanks!

Frustrated. There is no specific option just for wildfires like there are for floods, hurricanes or tornadoes. And I can’t actually see the emergency symbols to read the information on my Apple phone. I have tried deleting, reloading, changing the settings, and updating my phone but the symbols just won’t load. This is incredibly frustrating during a time of emergency and trying to track evacuations statuses!! CodeRed needs to do better if they are providing an emergency service.

Great app and it’s FREE!. The review I just read here with two stars is complaining that this app has a fee and I don’t see it. She says you can scour the Internet and find all your state and city stuff for free. By all means go ahead and take your time to do that, and if they wanted to charge you because they did it for you, there’s nothing wrong with that. You go into a grocery store and complain because the milk isn’t free? After all, cows produce milk without even trying don’t they? Can’t I go milk my own cow? Give me a break, and give these people a break. They’re not doing anything wrong. I appreciate the fact that I don’t have to scour the Internet to find the information.

Needs work. Whoever designed this app did not take into account the design of iPhones. The controls are so far in the corners of every screen that they cannot be used effectively. Almost makes the app useless. Since the update so in frequently, I suspect this is not an app that gets much attention. Too bad.

Doesn’t show fires. Installed app because CalFire said great tool to be notified of fires. Doesn’t show ANY fires in California— even though California currently has largest fire in nation. AND there’s a 3,500+ acre fire less than 15 miles from my location and it DOESN’T even appear on map. Set to notify me of ANY emergency within 25 miles. Evacuations taking place as I type, but no notice of same on app. Total fail!

Most useless app I’ve ever installed. Downloaded this app per my county’s emergency response team suggestion (and linked on their website) thinking I could get updated fire info since we have a ton of wildfires in the area. And sure, I did... for about an hour last night. Nothing since. Nothing in Oregon, CA or WA. I have “188 local alerts,” but nothing to read or click on. When in a genuine state of crisis or emergency, this is NOT THE APP TO USE. Freaking ridiculous that it’s even been suggested as a resource.

Major bugs. They need to work the bugs out I have had 4 active alerts since I started the app(I’d say 30 min so far) and I cannot see any alerts…none…and when I started the app it was 72, now since I got through this review it is at 78? If there is 78 active alerts it would be peachy to be able to see what an active alert is trying to tell me, I haven’t seen the pay version of this app yet but won’t be going anywhere near it if this is what the app generates

Not formatted properly. The display does not support newer iOS devices and places “functional buttons” beneath the top right and left of the iPhone display. For example, on any given alert, if an audio recording is attached, you cannot access the “play” button. ▶️. Also you cannot access the “back” button in the top left of the display. I emailed them weeks ago….no action taken to update the app. Deleting the app for poor functionality.

Doesn’t work well. Signed up days ago and went and personalized the settings. Says each day a different number of alerts but no way to see what they are. Checked my phone number, everything is all correct in the app. Just doesn’t seem to let you see anything but a map and no way to open the alerts up to view.

Needs updated badly. Registered on my city’s site, and created a profile by signing in with my Google account. However, no option to sign in with a Google account exists in the app. I also know that my city currently has a state of emergency, but it’s not showing in the app. This app doesn’t do what it set out to do, and can’t even connect with a profile created in their own servers.

Useful?. I installed app while displaced by a fire. I thought it might provide info since the local authorities were unable or unwilling to provide any info and the news reporting had no updates in 2 days. Because i was 11 miles from home and fire, the fire was not mentioned even in searches. The app provided info about the small shower that went near the motel. After returning home, i got an alert that a tornado had passed by 20 minutes prior. Later, I received an alert 15 minutes after a damaging hailstorm had already come and gone. Another damaging hailstorm and no alert. Maybe some day in the future it would be useful but for now, better to open eyes and look around!

App needs work, but it works. -Please make it an option in setting to disable sounds for alerts -Please fix the top interface of the app for iPhone, it bleeds into the notch, time, and battery indicator on iPhone -Please fix notifications to make sure they load quickly and properly, sometimes it glitches and they don’t load in for hours

Settings don’t work. Ok I would feel more confident in the app if settings worked correctly. I selected the Yelper alert sound and I received an alert using the “grating” Bell sound for a flash flood alert. I checked & it was still on Yelper the whole time. Now this sounds like a minor complaint but we just had a 16.5 billion disaster here and it would be good to be able to select a sound that allows you to remain calm and doesn’t get your heart racing & blood pressure up again=-0 Just my 2 cents. PS... a warning is definitely better than no warning so please just make sure the app settings work, Thanks

Très mauvais. Cette application n’est pas à point. On s’enregistre mais on est incapable de se brancher que ce soit sur iPhone ou sur iPad. Je ne vous la recommande pas... une seule étoile est très généreux.

Please read. Why aren't there any warnings in Canada ever

Good. Really good but can you make new warnings plz

not working, privacy issue. First thing that I did not like was that the app wanted to accès my location even when not using the app. This is too much for an app or service I do not trust. Then it constantly displayed errors because of denied access to the location info. And, finally, I cannot log in to it with the credentials that work on their own web site.

Unable to hear audio portion of alerts. After using the app for months, I was suddenly unable to hear the audio alerts except by using headphones. So I went to the Genius Bar at my local Apple Store, where a nice young man quickly solved my problem. Apparently the ringer for alerts on my phone is separate from the ringer for my phone and the ringer for alerts on my phone was turned off. You can turn the ringer for alerts back on by using the ring/silent switch on the side of the phone but it must be done while you are using the app.

Not free and not working. Downloaded this app and when my area in Canada tested it, it did not work. Six months later area tested again so tried again and it said I had to resubscribe - at a cost. Not impressed.

Not free. No Canadian warnings, and it costs you.

Not impressed. Apparently you can’t just set a location and receive alerts, nope, they want to track your location at all time. Mm-hmm... that’s a nope for me, dawg. Also, they apparently serve “170+” countries but expect everyone to use “miles” lol Lastly, it shows me dozens of alerts are “active” but they’ve actually all hundreds of “miles” away.. why bring them up, then?

Pas gratuit. Pas gratuit et pourtant Longueuil nous donne le lien pour s'inscrire

Unable to log in. I downloaded this app after creating an account on the CodeRED site, but to date I have not been able to login. The app consistently rejects the same username password combination that works on the web. Avoid the app. #FAIL

Doesn’t Work. I downloaded and tried this app several times but it doesn’t work and doesn’t give any information. You are better off with Nixle, Accu Weather or any other notification system.

Poor UI. This app needs a serious overhaul by a competent app designer. I can’t even tap on elements that are supposed to be tappable. I have to force close the app once I read an alert since the back button is untappable for instance. Other times I can’t even get to the alert because the app is just that broken.

Doesn’t work. I registered and logged in (City recommend we register and download) and it says I have 76 alerts but you can’t read what they are! What’s the point....unless it’s user error 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️ we have a boil water notice and this app doesn’t help at all (for any updates) our city said they do a reverse 911 using this.

My locations is miles off. I love the idea of this app, but the location services is WAY off. What are you even using to determine my current location? Google maps has it correct, you are miles and miles off

Poorly Designed and Dysfunctional. The app shows that you have a certain number of alerts near you, yet even when logged in with an account you can’t see what or where they are...and as a fellow user wrote, this developer is charging for a service that’s provided by local/state/federal governments which is stupid. Deleting this app right now.

Needs work. Created a web account and then could not reset my password, so I created another web account. Downloaded the app and my web password did not work, so I created a third account. My trust in this app actually doing what it’s supposed to is zero.

Needs work. Have the map overlay set for “satellite” and it just displays a grey shadow over the standard map... iPhone X running iOS 12.1.4 with latest version app installed. Also, not sure why I need to register a second time on mobile device, I must have reset my password on the website 5 times before I figured that out.

Deleted as soon as I could not select an acceptable alert sound. I registered for this service, and then downloaded the app on the suggestion from a city flyer. I installed the app, and then tried to configure the settings. First setting is to select a sound for alerts - ALL of the options are obnoxious child toy alarms or sirens, and you can’t select a regular tone, or set the volume. Done. Deleted.

You don’t need to know my phone location. I gave the app my address but it won’t even give me the option of just defaulting to what’s in that area. Instead, I get the smug “we don’t know where you are because you won’t turn on location services” message, as if I don’t know you could just used my address.

Bugs. Ever since update a week ago the app is doing strange things. Segments of map flashing off and on and does not respond to to touch on alert area. Has been ok if not brilliant up to now. Is useless right now and with fires burning

Can’t register. Bad set up. I created my account on the browser version which allowed me to register using Facebook. No such option on the app and no instructions on how to register instead. I deleted the app and will hope the browser version works if there is an emergency.

If you signed up using google. They don’t have options to login using the Google account you made. It also doesn’t have the Facebook login or the other one which I already forgot. It only allows for password and email type login.

So horrible…. App doesn’t load your personalized profile and is always “experiencing difficulties”… how am I supposed to know of emergencies from this app if it can’t even figure out how to log into my profile information?? I see why the stars are so low on the app and wish Sonoma would use something more reliable…

Someone please fix it - or make one that works. This app is just terrible. Yet the local Sheriff uses it and encourages folks to sign up for it. Alerts don’t work. Can’t see the “51” active alerts. Alerts come after people on Facebook have already shared info. Please fix it!!

Bugged. I keep having this problem where active alerts do not show up and I can’t see them or click on the alerts please fix this I haven’t been able to see these alerts for months now

No confidence.. Nothing on the Dixie fire? The second largest fire in CA history and nothing. Can’t say I trust this app for much. 53 active alerts… Where are they? The app says there are 53 but I can’t find where they are or what they are. This is an app you want to give a high rating for, but I have no confidence in it. I can’t believe my county spent my money promoting this.

Harmful app not showing life threatening alerts. Massive alerts and thunder storm in my area in NC right now but app isn’t showing any of them and I know for a fact that our county is tracking and sending emergency alerts right now. This app doing harm to folks by not showing the life threatening alerts they need to know about.

App does not work. Crashes. Alert does not work.. This app is being suggested by government officials because we are close to the Caldor fire and may be evacuated. However it does not work. This is not a game. This is our life. If we are told to use this app it needs to work and the developers who created it need to make it work. This is an emergency situation, not a game!

Can’t login. 3 years. Try and try. Can’t login. I can login to the website no problem. From time to time I try this app. No such luck. Three years I have tried. Tech support just keeps saying my password must be wrong. Ummm. Like I said, I can log into website. And I am quite tech savvy.

Doesn’t work. This app never worked for me. When I launched it today, it said that there were 45 alerts in my area, but I couldn’t read any of them, nor have I ever received any alerts from this app. Then I received a message that my weather subscription had expired & I needed to renew it. I don’t recall having paid for this to begin with. Deleted the app.

Affects Bluetooth. This app is a great idea but caused my phone to continuously disconnect the Bluetooth from my car. I would rather receive text alerts than have my location constantly running in the background.

Late and alerts with no information. This app is one false alarm from being deleted. I get alarms with no information what so ever. Worst of all, I get late notifications of tornado warnings that are 16 minutes after the warning was issued…. Kind of pointless. At least I have other apps I can depend on to give real time notifications.

Difficult to use. I’ve gotta say, this app has serious potential but isn’t very useable or useful. When you click a hyperlink or an icon you expect it does something. Sadly this app just isn’t that complete yet. I’m hopeful, however, that this app gets refined.

App Not Working. I tried to download the app on Apple device and I keep getting a message that it cannot download app at this time to try again later. Been trying for a while now and about to give up on the app completely at this point!!!

Can’t check alerts. What’s the point if I can view the alerts? It says there are 332 alerts and I click on the icon Sam’s nothing happens. Then I have another app that alerts me of a fire and this app says “no alerts in your area”. I use an iPhone13, is it not compatible with apple products?

Is this a joke?. This app does not work. Says “64 alerts near you” but nothing will load, nothing shows, links don’t work, functions don’t work. No updates to the app in 8 months. Why are they even still advertising this app?

Doesn’t work. I messed around with all the settings and tried restarting various times. The app doesn’t show any of the active alerts. Most of the other features appear to be broken as well.

A 6 year old could develop a better app. This is one of the worst apps I have ever seen, so many bugs it’s not even funny. Why even release it? You can clearly see it’s garbage and not ready? Recent version specifies bug fixes to include showing the alerts on the map but mine still isn’t. Total dumpster fire, stick to your day job which I hope isn’t app development and coding.

Doesn’t work. I get an alert sound check the app for what the alert is and there is nothing. It’s a great idea as a premise but it doesn’t work. I did get a shelter in place alert once with no details, so I had no idea where it was, what was happening, and for how long. Not sure if there was a situation or not. Very frustrating.

Great service, bad app. The ability to get weather alerts texted and emailed to me is awesome, however, the app is subpar but has great potential. Whenever I try to use it, I never see the active alerts in my area which isn’t helpful when one might need more info.

Useless - don’t bother to install. This app was recommended to me and several others during a natural disaster. None of us were able to read the multiple messages sent within the app. It was frustrating to see the growing number of unread messages and not be able to access them. Deleted.

Annoying & frustrating. There’s no vibrate only option. Can’t see alerts unless they are selected and they all come with loud alarms for all hours of the night. So don’t expect to get undisturbed sleep. Every time you go to a menu option a pop up to turn on your location services pops up.

Utter failure. I live less than a mile from the Marshall Fire in Colorado. All afternoon, the app has told me there are no alerts in my area, despite the fact that I can see flames from my front yard. When I load the app, it just says “loading alerts” and then hangs. What a useless app, that is probably endangering lives.

Not happy. I was excited when my county announced it would be using the CodeRed app thinking that I would have better access to what’s going on around me. Unfortunately there is no way to actually read the alerts that the app says I have. Please fix this!!

Needs Work. Problem #1: The alert sounds to choose from in settings are horrible. Problem #2: no matter what alert sound you choose in settings, the default alert sound is what you get. It doesn’t use the alert sound you choose.

Unusable on iPhone 14 Pro Max. The UI spills into the top and bottom of the screen so you cannot actually navigate between alerts to see what the danger is. Terrible user interface! I would hate to have to rely on this in an actual emergency!

Useless. Don’t get this app.. Tells me I have local alerts but won’t show me the alerts even after adjusting settings. I read some other reviews and the developer responded to one saying that it only shows national alerts on iOS — rendering it useless. Registration process is a joke unless you like doing it over and over again.

Cannot log in. I signed up on the web site on my computer. The web site suggested I install the app on my phone. When I tried to login, it will not recognize the login information I submitted on the web site. Apparently you need to register separately on the app. Don’t waste your time with this app. The web site has your phone number for text alerts.

No information!. The Bay Area is on fire all over right now and it isn’t showing most of the fires. A 25 mile radius isn’t enough, and there are huge fires 8 miles away that aren’t showing up. You can choose to get alerts for wind, temperature, cold and other things, but there any a specific one for fire. I wouldn’t want to rely on this thing to save my or my loved ones’ lives.

Not information. What’s the point!?. I’ve had multiple wild fires occur in my “radius” and have never received a warning or an active alert status. My sheriff’s office uses this program and I’ve yet to be informed of something going on. Makes you feel unsafe.

Avoid this app! Will trick you into subscribing!. It purports to be free, but will prompt you to “update” your weather alerts once the free trial expires - DON’T! This is a subscription (even though it never mentions any charges) and you will be charged for it. Apple really should insist that upgrades/updates that are not free should be clearly marked as such in the app.

Can't read any messages. You receive an alert from time to time and when you open the app it shows several active alerts, but you can't read one. Doesn't make sense at all and it's just annoying.

Garbage. This app is garbage, it never gives me any information. The alerts come three days later. If I get them at all. We have to get our information from Facebook and we get it three days faster that way. This app doesn’t work worth a crap in California. But when we were in the Midwest it worked perfect

Serious issue with app. Bottom line, this app should have never left the beta testing loop. The app has never worked correctly. It goes off from time to time alerting that there’s an emergency of some sort, but when you log into the app itself, you cant view what the emergency actually is. Not a lot of help to say the least. Beyond this, the app makers make money from local communities that distribute their emergency messages via the app, and then the app maker expects you the consumer to pay for the app to use it too! So you as a tax payer pay for it once, then you as a consumer pay for it again. No thanks. App will be deleted.

Too bad you can’t give it a zero. You folks are messing with the safety of the people who sign up for your useless app. You receive an alert, open the app, it doesn’t recognize your login, and won’t load the local alerts. Worse than useless - it’s actually dangerous. Don’t waste your time.

Can’t click on Active Alerts. I have an iPhone 8 with latest upgrades and apparently I have 323 Alerts in my area, but can’t click on them to see them at anywhere. This would be a great app if you put a bit more focus on it and got it right.

Great to be able to see incidents everywhere. I own an RV and this app allows me to see the incidents where ever we go clearly on a map. It has really been useful as we travel!

App is functional but the UI needs to be improved. The UI (buttons, etc) are very small and are not uniform with the iOS ecosystem. Additionally, the application should leverage iOS’s saved password functionality when registering for a new account or logging in with an existing, saved account.

Terrible, useless. Worse than bad design, and i do not receive updates in any kind of immediate way. There was a fire just about a mile from my house and i got no alert and the app doesn’t show any info on the map, even though i was getting updates from local emergency sources.

Good idea -poor execution. We are in the midst of fires in our area. We get an alert and it shows on a map. But it does not show where I am relative to the alert area very well. Unfortunately my country relies on this app to push alerts to me. Please fix the app so it is more useful to someone facing fire risk.
