  • Very much needed

    At a time like this and at all times very much needed, Thanks So Much,Senior citizen I Love New York E.A.M.G.
  • Effective in a time of Panic and Misinformation!

    Please share NOTIFY NYC with your family, your community and your friends! NOTIFY NYC is the official emergency notification system used by the city and can be used to calm fears, stamp out misinformation and connect New Yorkers to emergency management and city wide services! This app is on point! As an educator and community liaison I use this app daily to stay informed and help others stay informed! If you cant support the app on your phone’s software text the number 692-692 with the message COVID to sign up for SMS notifications from the NOTIFY NYC messaging system.

    Again Text COVID to 692692 to be enrolled in NOTIFY NYC - The NYC Office of Emergency Management’s official system for citywide notifications! Great resource to have when you can’t access the app due to lack of wifi or data services.

    Notify NYC will send official city updates in real time detailing any public health information related to the Coronavirus and any other citywide service disruptions.

    Please help us connect as many communities as possible in this time of unprecedented public health crisis!

  • Useless

    I just downloaded it and checked it out. Very little in the way of notices. So I clicked on coronavirus updates. There was one update from 3 days ago that said basically nothing. No news from today even though the mayor just declared a state of emergency, banned gatherings of over 500 people and closed Broadway. Umm deleted

  • Best app NYC has published

    My 5-star rating is certainly graded on a curve, for city-developed apps. But it actually works and is very helpful at times, as long as the people issuing the alerts are thoughtful about what they push out. There are other apps for traffic and transit issues, but this is a good one to have for those odd alerts that you’ll be glad to have when you need it. If you live or work in NYC, it’s worth installing.

  • Useful but buggy

    Great useful app but randomly closes when it’s in use...
  • Planned Flyover

    No way to disable the useless planned flyover events that alert daily, this information is of no use at all to me and should be able to be disabled.
  • More granular controls

    This app really needs more granular controls. I get daily alerts for planned flyovers of aircrafts, as well as missing adults (for all of NYC). Neither of these types of alerts are useful, and I will be uninstalling the app given all the noise they make. You should be allowed to toggle off ALL categories of alerts on a granular level. Forcing people to keep the missing persons alert on, just causes people to uninstall the app (I’d also be more likely to leave it on if it was limited to folks from/last seen in my neighborhood...all of NYC just causes too many notifications, for folks living in areas I never go to).
