The app used to work fine. However, it won't run at all now - it just presents an error message "Unfortunately Hazards has stopped." I've deleted the app cache; force stopped the app; rebooted my phone and; uninstalled and reinstalled the app. No joy. Any advice?

Looks like app needs some spanner work again. I discovered app was not showing any monitored locations which I had previously entered in an earlier version. After correctly entering these locations again the app is telling me there are no monitored locations for me. Google location is on, as is mobile data and wifi.

Why do they always waste time with pointless notifications? I get 2 or 3 alerts a day telling me it's going to rain. Not interested in my phone making endless pointless alerts. So the App is sadly deleted. I want an App notifies for emergencies. If I want the weather forecast. I'll look at a weather App. Like endless safety cones for road works that are long finished and so the pointless warning is ignored. This App also is another boy that cries wolve and is also now ignored. Sad really.

I'm getting warnings that take me directly to the page of icons and no information about the actual warning I click on the triangle at the top of my phone and go to the page showing an icon for each disaster. I've taken a screenshot. I'm not sure how to share but I'll try. I'm elderly. Criss your fingers.

When an alert message comes thru there is no indication as to what it relates to - a tick on the relevant alert would be helpful. There is a 1 on the Red X App but nothing indicating what is for. Jenny
