I love this app. I travel for work and not familiar with all areas. However, you use to be able to set a radius or specific miles away from your location. Now Im getting tornado warnings that are not near me in the middle of the night while sleeping for areas I have locations set in. These warnings are for places over an hour away. Please brimg back the ability to set ranges. I have also went in a turned off/modified alerts and it doesnt save my preferences. This needs to be fixed also.

This app used to work great but I noticed recently with the extreme heat as of late that I should have gotten notifications for the associated heat advisory like I always used to. The alerts show inside the app & all notifications are turned on, battery optimization is turned off (ie set to unrestricted). I checked everything. Still no notifications. If I can't receive notifications from this, then there's no point in having it. 2 different phones have the same result. Please fix & I'll update.

Ovwrall I like the app. However, the emergency alerts go off constantly with no way, that I can find, to adjust the frequency of the alerts. I don't want to turn them off entirely, I just don't need an alert EVERY time the duration of a storm/heat advisory/whatever changes slightly. I don't need 10+ alerts in one day for the same event.

I wish the app had a way to configure sound and turn off non-critical sound alerts during certain hours, like the hours when I'm sleeping. It woke me up to tell it will be snowing heavily at 7,000 feet, which I'm well below. I don't need to be woken up for that. But I want the app on in the event a critical, life-threating emergency occurs in the middle of the night such as needing to evacuate or prepare immediately, etc., etc.

Liked the previous version better. In this one it seems most of the customization has gone away. Your contacts and who you're monitoring is gone, you can't select your monitor areas, seems like it's more general geographical areas instead of specific locations (i.e. instead of a specific location, you get a county, which would probably work for most cases.)
