CodeRED Mobile Alert App Reviews

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

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.

Why arent there any warnings in Canada ever

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.

Installed, unable to sign in and set preferences. Uninstalled.

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.

Weather expired, I click to renew. It says I already purchased. Do I want to renew. Click yes. And the app does not up date. I send an email, and Im told that I need to provide a copy of my receipt. What? App is now worthless, I deleted it.

So easy to navigate. I have had a warning that worked as advertised. Tonight have storms and app not working. Says can not load user settings. Not able to find app help yet! Spent time looking for help too find none. App support link shows web site with no support. Uninstalled and reloaded now working.

I dont like the home page that much, it shows pretty much all of the US alerts (53 last I looked) I have this set for 5 miles and really only want to see a 30 mile radius map. Its tornado season and I would like the alerts but I dont think Ill pay for this app once my free month is over. The weather also gives weather warnings so I can delete this.

Updated app to new version and now I cant log in. Support? Where & how? Bad.

I signed up after receiving email invite. Installed app and cant log in. Also cant log back in to website. These people are supposed to notify us of emergencies and they cant handle basic logins?

When my co-worker (working at the next desk about 10 feet away from me) received a Code Red alert on our work phone in south suburban Denver for severe thunder storms, I downloaded Code Red. The weather outside was severe, hailing, foreceful winds. So, I downloaded the Code Red app. When I turned it on it said--there are no alerts in your area at the time. But there was! And yes, I did have location services on. Later there was a tornado warning less than 2 miles from my home. Code Red--absolutely nothing. My conclusion is that I refuse to give an application my location without it being used to alert me to danger. Right now Code Red is just the equivalent of phishing. DONT INSTALL IT.

After it started going off. I checked it said we will not be picking up the garbage over the holiday.. I thought it was for emergencys not to alert me about garbage day.. I uninstalled

Cant log in, just keep getting errors and no support for the app. DELETED!!

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.
