FEMA for Positive User Reviews
✓ Great app, but one issueI love this app, it's fantastic for receiving weather alerts. And yes, sometimes the alerts are a little overzealous (I really don't need "dense fog" alerts every morning. It's fall. It happens.) But that's not really that big of an issue. The biggest issue is when I have to put in my locations every few weeks. I don't even update the app, it just decides every couple weeks to delete the locations I've put in a dozen times before!.Version: 2.9.1
✓ FEMA App is Must-Have Resource for FamilyMy Family and I downloaded the FEMA App on our I-Phones & I-Pad. We’ve benefited from FEMA’s timely advance warnings about potential disasters, with recommended steps to take, depending on severity. From tornadoes to freezing weather to hail & severe thunderstorms, the FEMA App has provided us with timely advance notice, along with recommended preparation. Many thanks to FEMA for developing this disaster warning App. Highly recommended!.Version: 3.0.9
✓ Great for staying on top of changing weatherBut jfc the number of notifications and alerts is blowing up my phone! Minute by minute changes are being sent and there’s no way to reduce the sheer number you receive- it’s either on or off. Many of these notifications are duplicative, and becomes aggravating after a few weeks. I want to love the app, but the notifications just kills it for me..Version: 3.0.2
✓ Great InitiativeVery good idea for mobile professionals. Simple and straightforward..Version: 1.0.2
✓ Thanks FEMAI downloaded a similar app a year or so ago (Red Cross - Emergency) thinking it would be perfect to monitor weather conditions etc. for people who don’t listen to the radio or have a television service. It turned out to be no good at all (maybe they’ve fixed it) and I deleted it immediately. It wouldn’t register tornadoes that were happening in my town, or anything else for that matter. Sitting on my porch today I heard a neighbor’s radio broadcast an emergency message. I looked on the App Store, downloaded the FEMA app, and entered my location. Not even a second after I hit save, the app gave me three warnings in my area that had just been posted minutes before. The information was clear and understandable, and in real time. Thanks FEMA (and the developers), you got it right with this app. I gave 4-stars instead of 5, as I think it would be nice to have a map feature showing affected areas. It does however give detailed descriptions of the affected areas, but others might prefer a map..Version: 2.11
✓ Broken (UPDATED)11/18 I decided to try one last thing for completely deleting this app. I updated to current version (2.11.3). All my previously saved locations were back. We’ll see how it works going forward, but I am hopeful. Thanks for the fix. 11/6 While I used to receive multiple alerts for the same issue, the recent update broke the app and wiped all settings and saved locations. Most well-designed apps have the ability to retain config settings during an update. What is strange is that I continue to get alert notifications for my saved locations, even though I cannot view the alerts or see (or re-add) my locations. So perhaps they’re not cleared after all, just somehow inaccessible. Seems like a fundamental flaw in the update. I will wait for an update rather than delete and reinstall. Thankfully fire season is nearly behind us in CA..Version: 2.11.3
✓ Very usefulWorks very well and very useful. Very good app..Version: 2.8.2
✓ Very useful but latest updatesEdit 2: Thank you for responding. I have a suggestion regarding to badge icon. Why not create an option to turn on or off the “persist” with settings like how many numbers or how long to keep them on. I do understand why you wanted to keep the badge notifications on and I agree with your reasons. But it annoying because when storms passed by in my area, we’re not in danger anymore but still on weather watch in other areas. Original comment: And I have been using this app for a couple of years or so. Very useful! However, the notification icon showing numbers of alerts on app icon always stay on. I went into app and read, went through every articles and alerts. The numbers still shows on the app icon. Annoying!.Version: 3.0.3
✓ Should have custom notification soundI find this app to be very important and useful, but I feel like the notification sound should be unique and more similar to the WEA sound I would get on my iPhone. At the moment it is simply to quiet and easy to ignore because it sounds like all the other push notifications I would get. Even the Red Cross app has its own sound and I think this is something you should consider. Thanks.Version: 2.11

✓ Relatively goodI’ve received a few alerts and it seems to work well. I especially like how there’s also additional resources on what to do in cases of emergencies. There is one thing i would suggest, to be able to look at past alerts, when I saw the ones i got they disappeared after viewing them twice. Might have been the warning ending though.Version: 2.11.3
✓ Very well made app. But what exactly does the "Call 9-1-1" button do?Love the app, very happy to have discovered it. But what happens if someone presses the "Call 9-1-1" button? It has an icon suggesting it is a menu option leading to another page, but it's also a different color than all the others. Does pushing that menu item immediately dial 911, and if so, why? I can't think of a situation that I would opt to do this in this app instead of dialing 911 or asking Siri Please consider moving, or removing, the 911 button. It is right next to the settings button. Other than that this app is fantastic.Version: 2.11
✓ Excellent Improvements With Recent UpdatesI find this app to be indispensable! I’m not always around my weather radio. In those cases, as well as other similar situations, this app becomes the best way to be alerted to severe weather. One area for improvement would be to have a version for Apple Watch! I’m hearing impaired, and I use my watch’s haptics for alerts. My phone isn’t as good at alerting me as my watch is. I do get alerts on my Apple Watch, but I must have my iPhone with me at all times for it to work. There’s no app for Watch OS..Version: 3.0.11
✓ Unable to go back from Alert PreferencesI customized what alerts I get for Tucson,AZ and surrounding area, however I am unable to click the back button to go back to the Home Screen. I have to force close the app and bring it back up. It did save my preferences but will not go back when pressing the back arrow..Version: 3.0.13
✓ Wish I could log inThe website is excellent on information to what do in case of an actual emergency situation. The only bug this app has is logging into the website to register and check status is malifunction. Wish they could also update who to call for tech support for this issue. Help!.Version: 3.0.12
✓ LocationYou cannot add a location on ipod To prepare in a city.Version: 2.10.3
✓ Overzealous AppThe app works. Alerts are timely. But after you read the alert, even if you follow the link all the way and press “close,” the it still shows the 1 in the red circle as if you have one unread message. It also seems to repeat the same alert several times with the heat alerts we’ve been having recently. I don’t know if FEMA is really reissuing them or if the app (or the FEMA computer system) is just repeating them. So it’s useful, but a little annoying..Version: 3.0.2
✓ Updated reviewUpdate: sorry it has taken so long to post. All issues I had have been resolved. Appreciate the weather warnings in my area so I know how to plan. Thank you. New app constantly shows weather alerts with the red exclamation point even though there are no alerts. Even when there are alerts it won’t go away after reading the warning. Getting to and reading warnings takes more steps now. What is wrong with simplicity?. Each time an app (not just this one) updates it goes from easy to use to overloaded and complicated. Other weather apps are easier to use. Will give this one a bit longer to fix issues then I’m gone if I’m still having problems.Version: 3.0.2
✓ Zombies aren't on the list......is it because you yourselves are not prepared?.Version: 1.1.0
✓ GoodEven after the most recent update I am still just getting alerts and then nothing shows in the app at all. Very frustrating because this is the only app that steadily was reliable for years and now it isn’t :( EDIT: after the most recent update, all of my issues mentioned above have been resolved and the app works great!.Version: 2.9.5
✓ Update: OptimisticUpdate: I rarely write reviews but felt it was important for FEMA to understand the implications of notification fatigue. I’m upgrading the rating from three to four stars since they acknowledged the issue and are working to address it. This is a rarity among app developers. Feeling optimistic and grateful. FYI: the alerts are currently incessant. I am receiving the same freeze warning alert every one to two minutes. Please fix this soon, so we don’t get desensitized to the alerts and miss something important. Thanks..Version: 3.0.12
✓ Not enough locations to surround my Home LocationPlease see in future updates if you can increase the number of locations available to seven. My home county of Russell County, Alabama is surrounded by six other counties. Three counties in Alabama, and three counties in Georgia. I would have liked to have at least added Macon County just to the west side of Russell County to get earlier warnings but it wouldn’t fit in the five slots. Just another two slots and I could have been able to get warnings before they got close to Russell County. Maybe in the future additions be able to use NOAA S.A.M.E codes directly. That way you can get warnings about your entire county and not just a single city..Version: 3.0.12
✓ This First Responder ApprovesI am a retired Firefighter/EMT/CERT I/C. I really like the Apps 'Reminders.' If one Life is Saved by using the Reminders, its 'Job well done.' I believe the bug that caused some users to re-enter their location information has been fixed. In the nine months I have used this App, I have not had any problems. Keep up the good work FEMA..Version: 2.9.1
