Pros and cons of POM Alert app for iPhone and iPad

POM Alert app good for

Just downloaded this app since I am traveling out if town this weekend and wanted to be alerted to any hazardous weather. Unfortunately, this app does not automatically detect your location, so the alerts dont move with you. Instead, you have to go through a series of menu options to tell the app where you are. Otherwise, like when traveling, you will still get alerts for "home" instead of where you are currently. This would be a five-star app if the devs could set it to auto detect location - and do so without me having to open the app either. It should all work seamlessly in the background. Now that would be peace of mind!
WHAT AN AWESOME CONCEPT!  GOT SO MUCH MORE THAN I WAS EVER EXPECTING!!  AMAZING! It could use a lil improvement here and there, I do agree BUT OVERALL I AM THOROUGHLY IMPRESSED!!! and then some!   THIS APP SHOULD COME STANDARD WITH ALL iPHONES! ITS AN ABSOLUTE MUST HAVE FOR EVERYONE REGARDLESS OF AGE OR SEX!! 
I bought this app last week. So far I like it. It has given me notifications of traffic alerts. Which I really need living in a highly congested city. As for the sex offenders, its ok. I do like being notified of a new icky person in my area. I do have an different app for sex offenders which is quite good but no notifications. I will review this app at another time for an update.
I appreciate the push notifications. Would like ability to specify which items i want the notifications for! Pretty great idea though and I am glad I decided to try it out.
Ive found the alerts Ive setup to be very useful. I hope to see more possibilities and more informative information in future updates, say maybe a link pointed to any news station streaming live on the topic allowing us to watch would be cool.
A very useful app that keeps you "in the know" at all times! So many options/features. This is one app that is worth the money fir sure! A+++++++

Some bad moments

I can live without some of the features that are being requested, but heres a basic one: let us delete old warnings so that when a new one comes in--we can spot it right away and not have to dig through month old warnings. You should also be able to mark as read or unread" for easy reference later if you need more info later. Lastly, I actually bought this for the sex offender notification, and I havent gotten 1 in any of the 3 locations Ive checked---when I know that there is an offender living in the area. What gives? Ill revise my review when a new version comes out.
Doesnt map offenders. Cant scroll thru offenders. Doesnt have addresses. The free one I had before was better than this one
WTF all I get is homeland security . I just wasted a dollar 
No alerts in over 40 days worthless app. Dont waste your money!
Needs to show details like on the pics where you look at the details info of the app. It will tell u about accident. When you click to show you the Darold it doesnt show anything except about the stupid offenders and homeland security Im not happy with this
The app was working great for a few months but within the last month, NO Alerts???
