Properly displaying the flag is a heavy responsibility. Knowing when the flag should be at half-staff can be challenging. The Half-Staff app makes it easy for everyone. Immediately see the current U.S. and state flag status when you launch the app. View the calendar for upcoming half-staff days so you're not caught off guard. You can even subscribe to U.S. and state notifications so you know quickly when half-staff proclamations are given by state governors and the president. Track flag status for the US flag, all 50 US states, District of Columbia and 5 US territories. In addition to tracking half-staff notices, you can review interesting facts about each flag as well as the US flag code.

Not updating for my state

In Colorado we are currently at half staff. I have refreshed several times and reinstalled the app but I do not get notifications and it does not show my state nor the American flag at half staff status (both of them are at the moment). Disappointing.

I just paid a $1.99 and the main page shows Full Staff while if you drill down it shows half-staff for Justice Sandra O’Conner. In addition, the first thing I saw when I opened the app was the Google Advertisement and I paid $1.99 for the App so why am I seeing advertisements? I would like my money back please since I don’t trust the accuracy of this App and I was depending on being informed as it’s part of my job to make sure that our flag is in the appropriate position.

It’s a paid app but yet it is still on version 1.0.0 which tells me it was abandoned, but they still got my money. No matter what filters are selected it will not work to show any half-staff events and if you don’t have the majority of the filters activated it won’t work at all, period. Hot garbage, smelly hot garbage, recommend trying something else, like your horoscope, which might provide more info than what’s in this app.

Sorry to hear you're disappointed with the app, but we have definitely not abandoned it. We work hard to ensure we track half-staff notifications with each governing body and send notifications out when appropriate. Please ensure you have filters set correctly and notifications enabled for the best possible experience.

Full staff all the time

App does not appear to work. I have had it for approximately two months. I have never received any sort of notification, so need to check it every day. Today is 9/11 and flags have been ordered to be at Half-Staff. Despite that order, my app still says to keep my US flag at full staff.
