About this app

RedAlert was developed by volunteers to provide real-time emergency alerts for Israeli citizens.

The app relays real-time safety alerts published by the Home Front Command (Pikud Haoref).

★ Speed & reliability - alerts are received before / during the official siren thanks to dedicated notification servers
★ Location-based alerts - receive emergency alerts on the move in addition to city / region selection (disabled by default)
★ Threat types - receive alerts about rocket fire, hostile aircraft intrusion, terrorist infiltration, and more
★ Alert history - see the list of recent alerts, their location, and time of day (in your local time)
★ Connectivity test - check, at any time, whether your device is able to receive alerts via the "self-test" option
★ Sound selection - choose from 15 unique sounds for alerts or choose a custom sound
★ Silent mode override - the application will override silent / vibrate mode to sound alerts
★ Vibration - your phone will vibrate in addition to playing the selected alert sound
★ Area selection - select preferred alert cities / regions by searching for them
★ Countdown - alerts will display the estimated time until impact
★ I'm safe - let your friends and family know you are safe by sending an "I'm safe" message via the app
★ Localization - the app has been translated to multiple languages (Hebrew, English, Arabic, Russian, Italian, Spanish, French, and German)

Great app and even more reliable than the official home front app (which had false alerts). One point for improvement: When getting an alarm on my phone, I hear the sound and start to look for the phone and see where the alarm was. But the visual alarm field vanishes too fast for me to see it. Would be great if you could leave the visual for few seconds longer. Thanks! I don't need a bigger popup window, but for it to stay 2 seconds longer.

We recommend enabling "Show popups" in the Advanced Settings of the app, so that a large popup window will be displayed with the name of the city on the screen when an alert is received. Unfortunately, we cannot extend the displayed time of notification banners. Android OS has not made that configurable.

Great app! Only problem right now is that the list doesn't automatically update, so when I want to see the most recent, takes ages to load, and sometimes also as the always alerts are coming in, you can't see them in the list.

Shows a long list for timewise irrelevant alerts , which I have no access to configure or delete. Thanks for addressing the above mentioned issues and fixing them. Full marks!
