This can save lives.
Meh
Needs some work. I get an alert but doesn’t give specific location.
Developer Response ,
Thank you for your feedback. Sorry to hear the SaskAlert app is not meeting expectations. If you can contact at us at saskalert@gov.sk.ca, we'd like to talk about how we can improve the location identification.
Too many alerts for areas not relevant to my preferences.
My preferences that I want alerts for include Narrow Hills Provincial park. I am continuously alerted for areas “near” Narrow Hills….that are nowhere near Narrow Hills. For example Chamberlain and Bethune are nowhere near Narrow Hills.
