Notify NYC Customer Insights

1. I have no idea how I (Brooklyn resident) am supposed to help locate an individual with dementia from Freeport based on height and eye color.Useful, but cannot turn off missing persons alerts I got this at the start of COVID and I'm glad to have it in case there's a local emergency.

2. It's effectively spam.I like the sad because being that I just celebrated my 47th year of not only being a resident of this wonderful city of New York but being a resident of the United States this app has been very informative to me in terms of what goes on was going on and what's about to happen and the type of events that's going on in New York City and this is a wonderful app and I definitely would highly recommend this app to any native New Yorker or to anyone who would like to travel to New York.

3. But would you knock it off with the missing persons! What am I supposed to do with these? Most are not nearby, some are not even in the city! This is NYC, it's nuts to thing I'm going to recognize someone from Nassau while walking down the streets of FiDi.

4. Lets you know whats going on through out the five boroughs, whether is a major traffic accident or a planned event that could cause some type of disruption in your area.Good information from this App.

5. Uninstalled.I have this app on my work phone and i get all the missing persons alerts.

6. Overall good/useful, but the missing persons alerts need more geotailoring, images, or opt out.

7. Great app Amber and Weather alerts also Traffic and much morenot much info.

8. I downloaded it on my personal phone but i do not get any alerts.

9. Very disappointedPuts up notifications even when there are no alerts.
