Good for hurricanes, obnoxious the rest of the year
I keep this app because of hurricanes (they update the social media apps before this app, though). Since all this app does is forward NOAA updates, conditions that don’t change quickly, like rivers being at flood stage, get the same repetitive updates pushed over and over and over and over again. Ironically, this means that real changes (the river might/will flood in a catastrophic way) get lost in the noise of the repeated wolf-crying. As an example, I currently have 2 active warnings about Ogeechee flooding that are identical except they expire at different times, and THIRTEEN expired warnings that are also identical to the two active ones. The only difference is the expiration time. It’s. It at all clear to me what I am supposed to do differently on the fifteenth warning vs the first. There is no new information in the subsequent 14 notifications. I would like to provide this feedback to the app developers or to whoever is maintaining the notification system but there is no way to do that in the app.

Not much more than a Facebook aggregator
A lot of the content is missing. Much of it seems to require an internet connection, which seems weird for an app likely to be used in an emergency when internet connectivity is scarce. Also, nearly every update is a link to Facebook. What’s the point of a stand-alone app if all it does is link to Facebook?
