What users are saying

1. Lives could possibly depend on this app... fix it!I love this app keeps me updated with what's going on around me and the roadways I just feel safer knowing I can get notificationsWhile the information is extremely timely and useful, there are no options to disable non-emergency alerts overnight, there is no seperate volume option for any of the alerts and there is no way to toggle individual non-emergency alert categories off even though the toggle switch appears (nothing heppens when I touch any of them).

2. You don't seem to be able to pick a toggle not to send alerts for non emergencies - so everything uses the same loud alert... Needs A LOT more options for alerts, separate sound level, easier to use interface.

3. Keep up the good work!The app is not working the panic button is not working I didn't even to give one star cause it's a useless appVery useful 2-way app for crime reporting as well as public safety alerts.

4. I have been woken in the middle of the night for non-emergency issues because I have my alarm vokume on for my actual alarms.

5. The alerts don't have a separate volume setting - it uses your alarm volume.

6. The ability to report is amazing as are the notifications with issues in the area.

7. I've been able to use it in the States, in several different areas, to monitor road hazards and extraneous activities.

8. For one, the option to search and subscribe to other locations doesn't work.

9. I'm the fence about keeping it installed.Good, but needs some work.

10. The most recent update (or one of them) did something because now I'm not able to manage my notifications.

11. This is what our school district chose to warn us and keep us informed during emergency situations (aka lockdowns).
