This app use to be a lot more reliable. It seems like I still get alerts, but when I click on the notification or open the app, it just says "waiting for data".

Started crashing. Then it spits out annoying false allerts with a very intrusive vibration, including in the middle of the night when I have my phone on do not disturb...busted

Has hailed twice and there is a current warning from NWS, but the app does not seem to work. Hope it can be fixed!
