Great idea but needs another round of refinements. This app MUST allow me to filter alerts by type and dismiss a specific alert FOREVER. Yep, I live close to the ocean; nope, I don't need rip current alerts. Each category of alert (per location) should have a config for: time of day, silent/audible, repeat (if updated) or not, never alert, and so on. Without this feature, people get alarm fatigue and disable all alerts or uninstall the app. Now you've helped no one. Just read the reviews to see.

You can't select what alerts you want. If they did what was right (listed below) it might involve giving credit to a different agency. It not about safety it's about popularity. Spoken warnings preceded by an audible alarm that alert you to locations/counties under a watch or warning (as it use to be), should be mandatory on all weather apps. Access to NOAA Radio/National Weather Service alerts and conditions for your current location should not be hard to find, as these are funded by taxes.

Thank you for your feedback. Depending on the device, users may turn on sound for the alerts in the settings section of your device. Our design & development team is also researching how we might introduce sound customization and alert audio files into the app in the future. We are committed to improving the product so it works best for our users.

App is solid and works as advertised. Problem is lack of ability to tune alerts. I don't want to have my family woken up every night at 03:00 because the weather service has verified that we are still red flag warning for the fourth day in a row or because the riverbanks that always flood are going to flood again. Yes, you can manually silence it every night with effort, but I do want to be woken if there is an actual wildfire or flood.
