Thousands of public safety organizations across the United States and Canada use the CodeRED community notification system to initiate emergency notifications. The CodeRED Mobile Alert app enables subscribers to receive these notifications directly to their personal cell phone whether at home, on the road, or traveling around the country. Alerts are initiated by authorized public safety officials to deliver location-based notifications and are not issued by OnSolve or its staff.
Free alerts available*
- Emergency
- Community
- Missing persons
- Weather
*PLEASE NOTE: If the public safety agency covering your current location is not subscribed to the CodeRED service, you will not receive alerts through this application. If your city or state does not currently subscribe to CodeRED, contact your local public safety organization today to let them know your community would benefit from this service.
Helpful hints:
• Enable location services on your phone.
• The app also features the ability to view local radar footage for the past hour and satellite imagery of the previous 24 hours.
• The CodeRED Mobile Alert app comes with CodeRED Mobile Weather Alerts that automatically notifies U.S.-based subscribers of severe weather.
• Your app account and the account you create for your communitys CodeRED system are NOT associated with each other. You must create separate accounts.

Pros and cons of CodeRED Mobile Alert app for iPhone and iPad

CodeRED Mobile Alert app good for

After using the app for months, I was suddenly unable to hear the audio alerts except by using headphones. So I went to the Genius Bar at my local Apple Store, where a nice young man quickly solved my problem. Apparently the ringer for alerts on my phone is separate from the ringer for my phone and the ringer for alerts on my phone was turned off. You can turn the ringer for alerts back on by using the ring/silent switch on the side of the phone but it must be done while you are using the app.
First you have to go to your town or county government site and create an account that will send text messages to your smart phone. Then you download the app and register using the SAME user name and password. Set up in the app which notifications you want. HOWEVER, it is free for only thirty days. Want it then it will cost you .99 a year.
I find this app not so user friendly. Why register if it is mostly warning I am getting. Push notifications not always on point.
Easy to use knowledgeable app. Makes me and my work crew, as well as my family feel safe & secure knowing we can get up to date info for my community and surrounding areas.
Trustworthy and quick. I really have a peace of mind with this downloaded on my phone.
I read something recently about this app was was surprised to learn that I can get information about events or emergencies where I live and work or even where I visit over the holidays. I interact with this app daily now just to see whats going on. Its easy to use and makes me feel like I have access to important information for my family. Thank you for providing this ability but please make sure others know to use also!

Some bad moments

I downloaded this app after creating an account on the CodeRED site, but to date I have not been able to login. The app consistently rejects the same username password combination that works on the web. Avoid the app. #FAIL
Downloaded this app and when my area in Canada tested it, it did not work. Six months later area tested again so tried again and it said I had to resubscribe - at a cost. Not impressed.
First of all, when I try to login on my phone it asks for email address and password. My email address isnt my login! Why are you asking for me email address and not my login id? Secondly, it doenst matter what I put in because when I click login it does NOTHING! Very sad that my local Sheriffs office is leaving NIXEL for this piece of garbage.
1.) Its ridiculous to require a separate registration/sign-in for the desktop and the mobile app, but apparently the two are not linked. This mobile app is completely separate from the CodeRED service recommended by my community -- THAT service (desktop sign-in with mobile text notifications) seems like it could be worthwhile, whereas this mobile app offers very little that every other News/Weather/Google app doesnt already provide. 2.) The App -- which is basically a map -- defaults to showing a roughly 750 mile radius around my current location. While it might be interesting that theres a road closed due to an accident in suburban Atlanta, thats 600 miles away from my so Im not affected. [Side note: even with that radius, there are only about a dozen alerts showing. Makes me question who/where the app gets its data - that cannot be right.] I can select "Near Me" to see alerts within my specified radius, but that shows nothing. Again, this app does nothing that other apps I use dont already do. Im deleting it.
It wouldnt work, contacted them, no help. Ive signed up for Fox 2 alerts and get them constantly. Code Red in Jefferson county MO is messed up too. Im getting no alerts, no help.... Giving up and deleting it.
Someone needs to tell Dania Beach that routine City Hall meetings are NOT emergencies. Also, a tornado alert for my area was just issued that interrupted my cableTV programming. So far, crickets from CODE RED.
