FlashAlert Messenger is an Android application that allows users to view local news and receive emergency alerts from FlashAlert Newswire. The app can be used as a standalone news viewer or linked to a FlashAlert Messenger account for push notifications from selected schools, police agencies, or organizations.

The app is free to use and falls under the Education & Reference category, specifically Magazines & Newspapers. The app's main feature is the ability to receive emergency alerts, making it a useful tool for staying informed and prepared during emergencies.

If you encounter any issues linking your account to the app, there is a helpful page on the FlashAlert website with instructions. Additionally, if you experience problems with internet connectivity, turning off wifi and using cellular service may resolve the issue. It is worth noting that the app may not be compatible with the latest Android operating system upgrade, but the developers are working on an update. Finally, if you switch to a new phone, you will need to delete the old one and link the new one to continue receiving notifications.

Overall, FlashAlert Messenger is a useful app for those who want to stay informed about local news and emergency alerts.
