Tornado: American Red Cross App Reviews

No ability to change notification sound. When the NWS updates their warnings every 5 minutes you annoy everyone around you.

I really like how you can checked on your loved ones no matter where they live.

They "upgraded" the app & wrecked it. I deleted it

I love this app!

I liked this app before the update but love this version that lets me tag family members to a location.

I love this app! Great early warning notifications & sounds! MY PHONE ALERTED ME EVEN B4 BROADCASTED ON TV/NEWS! Also like the excellent planning & testing tools within the app. I was notified by the tornado siren on the app that I had NO IDEA was occurring at the time! Very useful & recommend it! The badges you earn are good idea for ALL AGES!

Not working at all

Every time I try to access the app, it kicks me out. I get alerts, but if I want to do anything else with the app, cant! Guess the update is worthless to me.

Very Useful

Last update made it unreliable. So then they told me they found a hot fix for that update, and it worked thereafter for a while but is now malfunctioning and unreliable again. Some days the alerts are pushed and some days they are not! There can be a tornado on the ground in the area/neighborhood and it may or may not push it to your attention. Fortunately, I got a similar weather alert app after the update broke this one, and that other app has not failed a single time. "Tornado" used to be a perfect/safe 5 star app. No more.

This up takes up the most space on my phone. More than my other apps, photos/videos, email or texts. Right now it is taking up 1.5 GBs. Where is all that data going for such a simple app. Plus, the last two times severe weather has moved through my area it has not alerted me. Im removing this app until they fix both the large memory issue and unreliability.

I have made sure all my settings are accurate. There is literally a tornado on the ground near me and I didnt get a warning and severe thunderstorms with 50mph winds are all around me. Whats worse is that when I open the app it tells me "All is well!" LOL!!! I got this app because I wanted something to warn me about tornados if I was asleep...good thing I wasnt relying on it tonight!

Great App! You can listen to the National Weather Service radio through the app, great for power outages.

It keeps telling me to check my internet connection, which is fine.

Kind of a bad thing when youve got bad weather going on and the app wont load the alerts. I can go out and come back in and then they might load, but not always.

I love in Oklahoma and were having a bunch of tornadoes this very second and I keep getting "failed to load alert" alerts.. So.. Unless you fix it.. its pretty useless.

First it said it couldnt connect to the Internet (on wifi). Then it couldnt determine my location. Then it couldnt load alerts for my area. Reinstalled app. Same problems. Whatever. I give up.

Tornado warning this morning at 1 AM. I had forgotten I installed this app. It went off with a noise like a World War II siren! Certainly woke me up.

This is the best app I have ever gotten!!! Im only 12 years old and I FREAK OUT when there is a possible tornado. If anyone out there is like me, well then, this app is for YOU. It gives you SO many great tips to stay safe during the chance of a major storm.

Liked the app a lot first moving to the Midwest but have been having reoccurring issues with every update. Most often app will say cant load alert because of a Internet connection issue that doesnt exist. Not exactly what Im looking for when trying to determine if the weather poses a threat.
