Disaster Alert Customer Insights

1. Then clicking on the alert icon, one would expect the notice to open.... nope! Instead the icon just disappears and if you want further info you must then navigate to the app and manually open it and find the specific alert relevant to your area.super frustrating application.

2. But most of the notifications I get rarely make the headlines.Login option is not working at all after the new update, and now all my customisation is lost.I love natural disasters they're so fascinating.

3. Whem im trying to search something in the map, it doesnt type in and the whole operating system lags and freezes.It's a good app but not so useful.

4. I use this to keep track of natural disasters in my area.

5. Am I missing something? What is the problem? Some unneeded processes disabled on this phone with Package Disabler, what unusual process is required?You guys got (4) of OVER 16 TORNADOS last night.

6. Next, yeah used to show a list of Hazards but now no matter what settings I choose when I refresh hazards it shows zero hazards anywhere in the world.

7. But, I hate how I get notifications about disasters from other countries.

8. first, the alerts I get on my Android when you click on them take you to your current location and don't show you the original hazard in the pop-up.

9. The application also freezes and lags, especially when moving around the map.Freezes on Note 9 with Android 10.

10. I was expecting an app to inform me of natural disasters before they make it to the news.

11. I actually thought this would ALERT me to a disaster in my area, to warn me so I could prepare.
