What's new (v1.5.1)
Push notification controls — Choose whether to receive siren alert notifications in Settings. "I Am Safe" notifications from your contacts are unaffected.
Smarter alert matching — Improved city matching so you only receive alerts for your actual area, not cities that share a common word.
Alert banner improvements — Dismissing the alert banner now stays dismissed across app launches. A new alert will show it again.
