Its a neat app, but it doesn't search well. I used the gps to find where I am, then did a search of a nearby town and it insisted on going to europe. Then I tried it again and it took me to california. Its just one town over but it chose the longest possible distance. It would make a lot more sense if it used my gps location as the center point to look for other towns. Then after I did a physical search and went back to my location, tall the sites were missing. If I hit the back key I was back in the normal map which makes no sense since there was no indication I was someplace else. Also I would like to know what normal is. I'm seeing rising and falling but without seeing what normal is its meaningless. Also there is no key what the colors mean. I understand red, but not the others. Another thing I really don't like is that warning. You only have that one really loud beep that sounds just like a fire alarm, and could go off in the middle of the movie or library without a good way to shut it up. It was actually deafening. And the only way to change it, even to your own thing is to buy it. On the plus side they include a volume control but you can't turn it off. Even on low its loud. But not as piercing as 100% default. You can see out of date markers, but they don't tell you what the date is. Same with the others, i'd like to know by the minute when this occurred. I'd like to be able to reverse how the date is displayed, it took me a bit to figure out it was backwards. Edited

Hi Mike, I am very thankful for the time you took to give us feedback. We went through all of your points and could already fix some issues like the GPS starting point. The app update is already available. I only have 350 characters to answer here. If you write me an email, I'll answer all of your answers e.g. meaning of colors, volume... Johannes

Very good when it works but recently river level data has failed to update from time to time. Support fix the errors quite quickly but they seem reliant on users reporting the break in data feeds rather than monitoring for problems themselves. They need to implement their own data feed monitoring so they can fix issues immediately as they arise otherwise the app could fail to alert when it is most needed. Edited

Hi Darren, we are really sorry for the issues today. We have automated monitoring tools on our end but today we were not able to fix things earlier. We do our best to improve and prevent such failure in the future. Regards, Johannes

this is a great app if you need as early warning for flooding. just go to your nearest River gauge and set your own early warning. the alarms in the premium app are excellent and is worth the purchase. you do have to be connected to Wi-Fi or mobile data to get the alarms...SMS is currently not integrated but is on a separate web version....well done guys for creating a great app for communities.

Very useful app in my opinion! It has access to a lot of valuable centralized data about flooding that you can't find anywhere else. It is a must especially if you live in affected zones! Edited
