5/5Filled the need for US travel to Canada
I’m going to stick up for this app. We were going to Montreal from the US and I wanted an app that would give me weather alerts while there. WeatherCAN isn’t available in the US store but Alertable is. So there is a good reason to have it in the US store. Got several alerts including severe thunderstorm watches and warnings as well as a heat warning. It will remain on my phone ready for the next trip into Canada.

5/5A bit buggy
We get the alerts but they don’t display properly. You have to put of app then come back in and click around to find the alert.

5/5Alertable
THE BEST app for receiving emergency messages. I would recommend this to ANYONE!

2/5Terrible UI
This review will likely get buried since the app was originally downloaded from the U.S. App Store, but the iOS version is very inferior compared to Android. The new “select the map” feature—where you pan to add a region—finally exists, but unlike Android, you’re stuck selecting a neighbourhood instead of the actual city. Trying to select Langley, BC is a nightmare. I want to highlight the whole area by dragging across the map, not drop a pin in some random neighbourhood. The neighbourhood option is useless—get rid of it. Simpler is better. There are also way too many pointless alert types like council meetings and community surveys. They clutter the interface and distract from the alerts that matter. The only reason this app doesn’t get one star is because it does a decent job with critical alerts—many of which users would miss otherwise. That’s the only thing keeping it afloat. The government contractor (think arrive can app) keeps sending test alerts because the public warning system is inadequate—basically broken. Alerts should work without mobile data like they do in other countries. Even with data, people still miss them. That's why I give the app an extra star. Another missing feature: the ability to silence specific types of alerts. I don’t need to be notified about a small car ferry 40 km away that only runs during weekday rush hours and serves a small local population. That kind of alert is irrelevant and clutters the feed. There should be an “ignore this kind of alert in the future” option to stop these low-priority and Irrelevant notifications from showing up.

1/5Did not include any city in CALIFORNIA?!
The most populated state in the USA and not one city, not even Sacramento, shows up in the search. Fix please.😠😠
