Ratings and Reviews
Great concept but lacking
The concept of the app (emergency preparedness) is great but seems to be an early attempt of an app that has since been forgotten. Get’s people to have a basic level of preparedness. But not a smooth user experience.
Not ready for iPads
The App runs only in "portrait" mode - it does not switch when rotating the device. Also the basic font size is very large. Good for a phone though. The Map seems to accurately display the hospitals, urgent care centers, fire stations, Etc. but the preference selections are not retained after closing that option. Also, phone numbers would be useful in the information section s.
Useful but needs an update
The app is definitely slow and not optimized for iPhone 11. The info is important so worth having, but could definitely use some attention
