Recently installed: When I swipe my screen, it keeps saying the toolkit flashlight is running STOP. The message is distracting, and STOP does nothing (the light and strobe were tried on and off). Seeing that message every time I use the phone, I will probably uninstall. There seems no way of silencing the torch, and I have yet to find out how noisy the alerts are, so I will probably uninstall. Can alerts be better tailored? Wet feet, or worse?

Very well laid out and useful app. Thankfully there are no warnings in place at the moment so I'm not sure how reliable it is yet, but I assume the source is the Met Office and their app works well. Strange that measurements in the flood section/quiz are in just inches...

Push notifications work but if you look at the list of alerts (even directly after a push notification stating flood warnings arrives) you get the statement "All is well", thats slightly confusing if you want to recheck the detail of something later, it suggests theres no warnings when clearly there are.
