No tornado alert last night during active tornado watch. Used to work, but now no alerts, no notifications. Checked all settings like silent push notifications, battery optimization, do not disturb, etc. App says "no alerts for main location". Fortunately, weather radio alerted us. This morning, confined tornadoes touched down in my township. Lost trust in the app.

UNINSTALLING. Frustrating. Not easy to use or find the alerts or safety info I needed. :( You have to do entire tutorials step by step. Sure, ok if you want to take tons of time to learn, but Google would be faster for answers on what to do. Some of the pictures are weird and honestly the whole app design is overwhelming. Unfortunately, the app does not make FEMA come help you faster or at all.

Update: issue was fixed the next time I checked the app. Maybe just a temporary bug, I don't know. This app is very good/useful. (My only complaint is that **the in-app articles should be available offline**, at least optionally). Old review: It worked great for a long time. Now, it doesn't let me add locations (nothing comes up when I enter a city or zipcode). I tried un/reinstalling, but now I can't get any local information. Will fix review if issue is fixed
