Seems to be a good app but there's no way I've been able to find to turn off the audible notification and just have a visible one when I need it. My phone has to be on at night and it has gone off as high as 5 times during the night, often for the same alert. Going to have to uninstall.

OMG make it stop!!!! A ridiculous amount of notifications for things and places I don't care about. It needs to allow us to define which type of alerts we want and it needs to be more granular because I don't care about insignificant things two hours away

Maybe it's just La Crosse, but every time there is something resembling weather around here this app EXPLODES with updates upon updates upon updates, every hour or so, until things clear up. Some functionality to ease back the number of notifications or change which notifications trigger alerts would be nice. As currently written it is a constant source of false positives and alert spam.

Bad app and good app This is a bad app cause I want to weather alerts and it said only the national service has that information and I meant to shelter and it did not give me anything for shelter and a good app cause the only thing it has good on it is a kit so you can be ready to not get in danger. Huh I don't know why I got this app anyways I will need to uninstall it because it was a bad app am done with this app huh.

Please FEMA, let ME decide what kinds of warnings to get! I live in Hawaii, and in the winter I get multiple daily alerts about High Surf Advisories and High Surf Warnings, which are useless to me. This causes me to ignore most FEMA alerts ("Oh, there it goes again. It's nothing."). I want to be alerted to tsunamis, earthquakes (since an earthquake in a neighbor island can cause a tsunami that will affect me), hurricanes, tropical storms, etc, but NOT High Surf. Please let me choose which kinds of warnings I want to receive. I have a weather radio in my office, and even it allows me to choose which alerts will cause it to beep. I am sure this would be a simple fix for your app. Thank you!

I'm getting spammed by duplicate weather alerts issued at same time for the same area. There's no way to disable or fine tune the device notifications.

I just installed the app and have yet to see whether the space on my INTERNAL STORAGE will be worth it. Just to be clear this is not a high priority app and should have the option to download to external storage.
Great. It serves its purpose (to warn of emergencies and disasters), and it serves that purpose very well.
Typical Totally worthless. Much like the department itself.
Automatic updates??? I DID NOT choose to update, but apparently it did so on it's own!!! ???
The app has issues it will not let you view alearts it says there is alearts but when you click it says no alearts.
Alerts come thru faster than Accuweather, but Too many alerts. They push thru a dozen times an hour.
Weather updates from the National Weather Service!
Very helpful,I will be sending more pictures and information,
Must have Absolutely should be mandatory to download this app.
Stupid!! I can't get the damn thing to stay on English!!! Remember Government?? Most of us still speak English!!! Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
Good Awesome work just wish it would send me alerts to a county I am traveling without putting a County in.
Gives accurate information Always gives me up to date information and it's more accurate than my local news and weather
Nothing clear or updated in timely manner I downloaded this app as I live in Florida and wanted to stay on top of Hurricane Matthew. When the internet would state that the storm changed from category 4 to 3 to 4..I would check this app...it would say, " no new notifications". 5 hours AFTER the hurricane passed us, I received a weather alert of the storm! The notifications are confusing and vague as if you were at palm or tarrot card reading. I do support FEMA and all they do. But not this App!
Notification sounds please Love love love the fact that I can finally get emergency alerts on my phone, I could never get them begore. However, the one feature that would make it better would be the ability to change the notification sound! Please add this feature in!
Not helpful There are so many notifications but they are not clear about what is different between them or that there should be so many of them. The alerts will not turn on. I am annoyed and was better informed by the radio.
Account I don't like that there is nothing that you can do for your own account you all should have something where you can access your account to upload documents and appeals or other information need be not everybody has a fax especially in the middle of a disaster I think an app like that would be a lot more useful sorry for the input
911 link is not cool. Nice app , but will be uninstalling. Don't need my little ones accidentally clicking on "call 911" while playing games on my phone.
Notification difficulties I added my location but when I try to view alerts it says I need to add a location first. It pushes notifications about alerts to my phone, but they're truncated and when I try to see them in the app, it says there are no notifications because it says I still need to add a location (even though my location is listed under notifications).
Useful It's be nice if alerts were downloaded in the background, as when I'm in "spotty" coverage areas I'll see that there is an alert, but can't read it.
Choice of ALERT SOUNDS please Otherwise Iove it. Quicker to alert than the others and dependabme. App keeps thing very simple.
Old Warnings Need to be able to clear old warnings from weeks or months ago. Keep getting them all, old & new, Have to read them all and figure out what's new.
Dead links Lots of links in the app are dead. They need to be fixed to make it more useful.
Love it! Much easier to use and get clearly stated information then the local weather forecast from a local TV channel. Clear and concise.
