It will tell you that there are alerts for your area, and even if you check immediately the alerts either do not exist or are 'expired'. Hard to understand how they are expired 5 seconds after notification. Expecially with other apps show the alerts as valid. Worthless app

Doesn't work I want this app to work - but I get notifications -and open the app within minutes and it a ys the alert has expired. Very frustrating - what's the point of notifying me if I can't even read what this alert is about. So much potential - I hope it gets fixed as this could be a great app

Poor Needs work. I thought this would be good to have, but it is just anoying. I was going to add a picture of a flooded road. That did not work. Alerts seem random. They go off, then say all alerts expired, a few minutes later I look and they are there. Too many alerts. Uninstalling now.

Ridiculous without notifications. To be truly useful, app needs to provide Android system alerts. As it is right now, you can set different locations for alerts and never be notified that the alert was triggered. Ridiculous.

Great App App works well. Has over a 100 ,00 downloads. I think it should have a alert share feature for alerts onto social media sites to get this important information out to people that dont follow the weather on tv and radio along with people who dont have the fema app.

Shoddy app made in the 50s The app is not very useful. It gives the same textual information as other emergency channels. It doesn't take into account my actual location. Who gives text info on location in this day and age? Overlay the location of flooding onto the map instead. The notifications are excessive. Borderline on spamming since most of them are useless for me.

Not Mature There is no Settings menu. So you can't adjust a setting to show the status bar at the top (because there is no status bar at the top). Running the FEMA app during an emergency, I won't know how bad my reception is because it doesn't show. The Back button on my phone does not take me out of the app; I have to hit the Home button. Most of the menu selections take you out of the app to a website, e.g., when I navigate to FEMA Twitter, it takes me to the Twitter website instead of the Twitter app on my phone. Feels like it was designed by Management. I wonder how useful this app would be if all the cell towers were down. I think FEMA needs to rethink how they're going to communicate with us.

Alert notifications flash, but then are not there when app opens I get notifications that there are alerts, but can't read them fully in the notification area, so I click on them and the app opens and takes me to 'Alerts' but says there are no alerts for my areas. The app has great potential, but just isn't there yet on my Droid Turbo.

Can't see alerts Alerts come on the notification screen. But when you click on it, the app opens to the main menu but says there are 0 alerts. It happens consistently. When you click on the tab there are just no alerts. We have freeze warnings yesterday and today so there should be at least four alerts for me to view. Freeze warnings are not a big deal but what if it was something really important. One would not know the message as there is nothing there when clicking the notification.
