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.

App ignores turning off "Notify With Sound" for individual alerts. I have two locations set, one where I live and one where we have a cabin. I generally don't need the Emergency alert sound for any but the most critical alerts at the cabin. So I turned off "Notify with sound" for some advisory alerts there... and they still come in with the Emergency app sound. I want to know if we have a Winter Weather Advisory here urgently; for the cabin, it's nice to just notice it at some point.

Updated from a Samsung Galaxy S22 to a S25. It worked on the S22. Yesterday, when a line of storms went through, not a single notification, but tons came through on my iPad emergency app. I double checked settings, notifications on, do not disturb override, etc. Still no notifications. I restarted the phone, and still none. I uninstalled the app, reinstalled, double checked everything, and still none. Very disappointed because it has warned me in the past of tornadoes.

Never goes off. it is set to follow me, we had a tornado within a couple miles of us, sirens were going off but not out apps. we haven't gotten a warning for nothing since the app change from the red cross app. contacted support both times but nothing but excuses or nothing was happening in my area, I would say a tornado 2 miles away in the same city and county would justify a warning. Useless app!

When I first downloaded this app a year or so ago, I loved it. I put my family's location and my location in and set a radius. I got alerts perfectly and well in advance. More recently, I am not getting any alerts. Just had a severe thunderstorm in both of my set areas, one area even had hail and not a single alert. The app even showed it was clear and not raining which is obviously inaccurate. What did you change? Your recent changes have obviously messed things up. Please fix this ASAP.
