This app gets alerts to me almost instantly. Totally accurate it goes off right when my noaa weather radio goes off so I can go out and about and not worry about missing an emergency alert. I got an amber alert one time and another I got an alert about a 911 outage. I am very thankful for this app.

Needs volume and weather types to be selectable. I don't think a sands storm qualifies for a buzzing alarm... Our at least not full volume. Seriously waking people up for blowing dust.

It does nothing after download. No setup no nothing. The world will end and this app will still say nothing. Pointless!

I don't want alerts from the president or weather. You can't delete pres alerts or change ring tone.

Amber Alert was just sent out by APD and the application indicates that there are no notifications. It does not seem to function as intended.
