• Connectivity Test:
- Check your device’s capability to receive alerts using the “self-test” feature at any moment.
• Sound Selection:
- Choose from 15 distinct alert sounds or upload a custom sound.
• Silent Mode Override:
- The app will bypass silent or vibrate mode to deliver alerts audibly.
• Vibration Alerts:
- In addition to audio alerts, your phone will also vibrate.
• Area Selection:
- Easily select your preferred alert cities or regions by searching for them.
• Countdown Timer:
- Alerts will indicate the estimated time until impact.
• Safety Notifications:
- Notify friends and family that you are safe by sending an "I’m safe" message through the app.
• Localization:
- The app is available in multiple languages, including Hebrew, English, Arabic, Russian, Italian, Spanish, French, German, and Portuguese.
Important Notes:
1. This app was created by volunteers and is not affiliated with the military, government, or Home Front Command.
2. It is not a substitute for official rocket alert systems; use it as an additional resource. If connectivity is unstable, the app might not receive alerts.
3. Follow the official instructions from the Home Front Command during a rocket alarm: Home Front Command.
4. To enable location-based alerts, a foreground service must be activated, allowing location updates even when the app is not in use.
5. An optional remote messaging foreground service enhances real-time alert delivery when the app runs in the background.
