Hazards – Red Cross

When I go and check the alerts page there is a weird error message that keeps popping up every few seconds and it doesn’t stop. Very annoying when I’m actually trying to scroll to the relevant alert to read. Also, would be handy on the alerts scroll page to know when the alerts are issued without having to click into the individual alerts to find out (or at least list them from oldest to newest). During an emergency, updates come in thick and fast as the situation unfolds and reading outdated civil defence information could be dangerous, if not life threatening, if evacuation plans (or other emergency management efforts) change significantly. The idea behind this app is commendable. But please fix the bugs and keep the app in good nick so it’s good to go in an emergency. Thanks!

Started out well giving relevant warnings for where I live and display the list of family and friends I added in various locations, so I would know how if they were facing any hazards. Then suddenly it had my location as all sorts of weird places. I went to settings to see check everything and was informed it was downloading updates which it has seemingly been doing/attempting for three days. Not remotely helpful, especially when it freezes on this screen until I restart my phone and the whole circus starts again. Disappointing.

Good idea but needs improvement. I tried the knowledge tests and got stuck at the wildfire one because the answers to the test questions do not match the order of the questions. Also with the “I’m safe” section we should be able to choose which contact number to use for a person. There is no point in trying to send a text message to a landline!
