Comments on Alertswiss for Android

★★★★★ Ralph Brunner · Jul 10, 2021

Very useful app to get notified 🔔 in case of disasters flooding, earthquake, etc. Highly recommended 👍🏽 😀

★★★★★ Greg A. N. · Jul 4, 2024

Works as it should. Regarding the translation issue, you could switch to Deepl if you want to use proper AI support, Google is completely inferior in that capability, unfortunately. At least for now. 😉

★★★★★ Leonardo Perez · Jul 13, 2025

Very helpful and useful in case of traveling but the alarm may scare you a bit

★★☆☆☆ Rolf Schneider · Feb 5, 2020

Theoretically a nice app. But there is no need to turn on siren sounds at full volume. First a week before the siren test end then twice during the actual siren test. Had to turn off the phone at work.

★★☆☆☆ Christian LA · Feb 5, 2020

Receiving constantly annoying "test" push notifications with sound alarm but few days ago the hurricane Petra passed through Switzerland and did not receive a SINGLE alert.

★☆☆☆☆ Stefan Lörwald · Feb 2, 2022

The most crucial feature never works on time: notifications. Siren test was at 13:30, notification came in at 17:00. That's pathetic.
