Red Alert : Israel Reviews

by Mcmlix1959

Whoever thought of placing a 5 second ad in the middle of an active alert has never needed RedAlert.
When you have only seconds to find shelter and then to be stymied at getting the vital location information you need because of an advert for a game is not only crazy but deadly.

RedAlert use to be awesome…Unfortunately due to the repeated ads that pop up upon opening it and having to wait until they’re finished just to view emergency alerts is completely ridiculous. I can understand that ads are needed to help pay for the maintenance of RedAlert but the ads should never cover the entire viewing screen. Ads should only be viewed on a fraction of the upper or lower portion of the screen. The primary focus should be on the emergency…not ads that cover up the info.

Ads are fine, however the ads on RedAlert come up every time you open RedAlert , even if you are switching apps momentarily. This is the kind of app where you need to see the information fast and there are unfortunately no other alternatives. The ads need to stop being full page and instead should just be a banner or bar ad on the of the page. Hopefully another app by another developer comes out soon.

RedAlert was great a few years ago, but now an ad in Chinese language keeps popping up and completely takes over my iPad making RedAlert useless ...
... and I have to hit the home button just to get rid of RedAlert and the ad to try again, but the same thing happens again. I came to RedAlert Store looking for a premium version but got me nowhere, therefore I have deleted RedAlert .

by Berry Dodd

I’ve had it for a while. But just deleted it because I could not silence the notifications. I’m at work (not living in Israel) and when Gaza wants to break bad my phone is just going off all the time and can’t silence it. An if it’s possible to do so, I can’t find it especially with the ads that always come up and cover the screen. That may sound petty considering what’s really happening but that’s my situation.

I get it. They want you to pay for RedAlert , but having a screeching sound in an ad on an app that is sending alerts of rockets being sent is inappropriate. I’m ok with ads, but they shouldnt have sound. Also, you are subjected to an ad every time you refresh the screen. Way overboard.

There is a pop up game advertisement that can only be closed by deleting the red alert app.
The game’s X to close the advertisement is so high up and small in the left hand corner of the advertisement that for whatever reason no matter how you try to X out of it...it won’t register the action and let you close the game advertisement.
I have had to delete and re- download the red alert app multiple times through out the last five days to just stay connected to what was happening. Please address this problem as soon as possible.
Please note that this is now going to be my 6th or 7th time of re-downloading the red alert app 😬

Would have given it a 5 if it didnt have ads.

Can I pay a monthly fee for a commercial free version?

Red Alert is very subtlety an app everyone should have. Pro or anti stands on Israel either position would get the message that the angel of death is still trying to take the first born.
Mankind needs a savior and the Books of Moses tells us that when Issac asked father Abraham “where was the sacrificial lamb”, Abraham said “God would provide himself a lamb” and God has provided himself.
Remember the servants that traveled to the mount? Abraham said, “The boy and I shall return.” Abraham believed in eternal life. If Issac were to be the sacrifice then Abraham trusted that God would resurrect him.
So as King David said, “Pray for the peace of Jerusalem”, so RedAlert reminds the world to pray and May the Love of God cover a multitude of sin as we pray!

Love RedAlert - it’s made me much more aware of the situation in Israel. Notifications are great, but it’d be nice to also have a map of where rockets have been fired at. Also, RedAlert crashes when you try to play the radio. And the comments section is pretty pointless. But the alerts are very helpful.

by Exosylver

Add a little button when you click on the area- you can see the city on a map, it doesn’t need to be the actual place of the rocket impact (although that would be preferable). It’s just to get a visual representation of where it is.

by Copatrout

Brings reality to what is going on in Israel in a very annoying way, and that is just the interruptions cost by the rocket attacks notifications. I think many who download RedAlert will eventually delete it because of the annoyance. It’s too bad the Israelis cannot just delete the rocket attacks “annoyance“.

by Sgjgdfjj

I really like being kept aware of what’s happening in Israel, it would be nice though if there were a map in RedAlert to show where these towns are.

by Thelma Jones

And I am having a difficult and frustrating time trying to understand the settings

by IranWar2019

This is a good app to get even you don’t live in Israel or somewhere else in the Middle East.

It’s not that I can give a :-) or a thumbs up to see the Red Alert, it breaks my heart... and then I go into prayer for Israel and those places hit especially; for the safety and fear and dread and trauma that it will cause on the people, the destruction to the land. I do appreciate getting the notice and for that I am grateful because I can help in some little way through prayer. Hopefully all the people will remember that God loves them, that there is a plan and has evil and painful as it is on this earth right now,There can come a better day for all of us if we look to Him. God bless you, God bless your bravery… He said when we are weak he will be strong for us.

RedAlert gives us a very small taste of what the Israelis are going through with Hamas targeting civilians. It’s awful.

by Mattyjones465

Thank you as we can report what is not being reported or is falsely reported to keep our friends in America informed and prayerful. BTW. For the previous request for. Way to post to Facebook, I do a screen shot and post the screenshots to Facebook.

by SummerlinNV

I am not getting any sound. Checked all settings many times. Tried self test and no sound. The alerts show up but no sound is playing. Deleted and re-downloaded several times and same problem. Anyone have ideas?

I have used RedAlert since 2015. Now Google Ads are completely blockome from accessing it. They put up a black page that never goes away. If i tap it, an advertisement comes on snd never goes away. And there us jo escap x. I have complained numerous times and just tried now to access Ref Alert 2 x and same mess. Plus I complained to Google Ads yet again. They are targeting your app

by Redamndickulous Nickname

Can’t even view the rocket alert locations due to pop up advertisements for some kind of senior fall alert that won’t close out. RedAlert used to be informative now it’s useless unless you want to be solicited for unneeded items.

by Trudi7

Are used to be able to see how many kids are going on now it doesn’t show that. And now it only shows 12 Rockettes used to show her all of them

by One Voice Among Many

It would really benefit me (an American with limited knowledge of The Land). RedAlert would soooo much more please me if the cities were mentioned with their English/American names. Haifa should be Haifa. JOPPA should be Joppa. It would make it soooo much more relatable for this non-Israeli app user.

by Thehonestangler

Since I’m not in the land, I’d prefer to turn off the sound and just get banner updates. Otherwise it wakes me up unnecessarily at night. I have enough trouble sleeping as it is.

How do you remove old information ?? Doesn’t seem to be any way to remove/delete old information

by SolomonH21

Good app but there are some bugs. RedAlert crashes whenever you try to listen to the radio and the chat isn’t working. Please work in this.

by JeMaRo1999

RedAlert is amazingly eye opening and very important to those of us who are trying to remain in constant contact with the situation that is currently taking place in Israel. That being said, I think it would be very helpful if a notification setting was added that would also tell us if the rocket was destroyed by the Iron Dome. Just a suggestion. Other than that, I think RedAlert is very useful and very important. And also, thank you.

by Terry Deal

I support Israel in more ways than 1
Thru prayers and other.. thank you for RedAlert that I can stay alert in every direction

by B'nai Noach

Wonderful app for anyone outside of Israel to keep up with real time news and alerts.
