Description
Emergency Alert is a useful tool for alerting you to urgent events via notifications, even when your phone is on silent. You can even set up your own rules which can be triggered with notification messages from other apps that start or contain text. You can also control the volume of each alert and select different alert sounds, as well as use your own mp3s.
A useful application for the following scenarios: - Business continuity - Urgent notifications from friends or family - Disaster notifications - Earthquakes, flood alerts and security threats. Please note however that the app does not provide alerts from your local emergency service providers after installation. If you receive alerts regarding tornadoes, flooding or earthquakes, you must manually create a rule to alert you when you receive these messages.
The application listens out for notifications that match the rules you have created - when triggered, the app can alert you one of three ways:
- Silently - This alert simply displays a popup message containing the text of the notification.
- Vibrate - This alert will vibrate until dismissed, allowing you to be quietly notified of an urgent matter.
- Play Audio - This alert will alert you with a loud siren until dismissed, even if the device is on silent with media volume turned down.
You can also set up a rule to both play audio and vibrate. It's up to you!
You can create a rule based on the notification title or body, either starting with or containing text you enter as criteria.
The app is also intelligent - if you have a headset plugged in, it will use the current volume so you aren't deafened! Without headphones, the alert will play at full volume through the speaker, ensuring you won't miss an alert.
Please Note: The way your device displays notifications may mean that this app may behave differently on different handsets - please test on your device after installation to ensure it is working with your set up.
For example, some Samsung devices uses Samsung's built in messaging app which doesn't use Android notifications. You can workaround this issue by using the Android Messages app instead. Any app should work with Emergency Alert as long as it uses the standard Android notification system.
Recent changes: - New Built-in Sounds! Now you can select a different sound for your rules! There are 7 to choose from for now... stay tuned in the coming weeks for custom sounds! - You can test the new sound options including volume with the "TEST SOUND" button - Permission checker improvements - Code optimisations

I really like this app. It has more than I need, as I only need one emergency category. I'm a psychologist, and this allows my clients to text a code to me if they are in crisis. But, if I wanted to set another tune to play if my child's phone contacted me, I could. It works fine, it's reasonably simple, even for a technological dinosaur like me. And, when I needed help with the app, Ryan, the builder, emailed me back within a few hours, and gave me very clear instructions on what I needed to do.

Hi, had to replace fire alarm 2 as it was flagged for reading personal information. Purchased this app, and it works great, as advertised. I would recommend it as a replacement for other alert apps 👍
★★☆☆☆
Not working on my Poco X3 Pro. Has given all permissions. Tried a notification from Alarmo in Home Assistant to Telegram, and this app don't trigger the programmed alert.
★★☆☆☆
Doesn't work. I need to be able to set this for specific contacts. This doesn't do that.
★★☆☆☆
The alert was no more alerting than my regular text messaging. I could have literally set my phone up to do what this app does without paying for it. Very disappointed.
★★☆☆☆
Horrible I thought this gave EBS alerts I even paid for it now I can get a refund and zero response from maker.
