The Biwapp app in self-test
Like all other apps, we also test this app in self-experiment. The first message was already very reliable and precise with a strong cloudy. That really surprised me. As soon as the next warnings have been accumulated I will supplement this post.
Criticism of other apps
Critically, I have to note that I consider all 3 WarnApps to be the wrong way. Here, a nationwide app belongs to the start, operated by the federal government and the countries. That's why I consider more apps, even if they have absolutely their raison d'être, for the wrong way. I don't want to get too close to any developer, but also criticize the federal government and the countries here. In the E-case, the circles, countries do not know what to address now. In part, counties are connected to Katwarn, some of them back to Nina….. But this is being carried out again on the back of the citizen… Why should all federal citizens install multiple apps? That's not going to happen. Here it is necessary to create at least one interface and all apps/app developers access it.
Update: BIWAPP is connected to MoWaS
This is of course an enormous improvement of the app!
