Leave a Review Notify NYC
Mostly useless
This app is kind of a joke. Primarily because the alert notifications are so absurdly vague. I got one saying merely "Fire!" yesterday. Great, thanks. I hardly ever get transit snafu alerts. I get tons of "flyover" alerts which are totally pointless.
While the email alert system wasn't great either, at least I got more info with a quick glance. This takes several clicks to get into the app to see the actual details of the alert. No, I just want to be able to glance at my phone and see what's going on.Show lessGordie74
Useless notifications
I can’t tell you how disappointing this app has been. My GF works in Manhattan so we both got the app to be aware of any issues. The alerts are very vague for the months we’ve had it. But this morning, when a pipe bomb detonated 2 blocks from where my GF works, I got an alert that said “police activity”. That’s it!! Useless! There are much better apps out there. The NBC New York app sent me a much more detailed app about what was going on this morning. We are deleting the NYC alert app.Show lessTJL27
Useless
There have been 2 high profile events that have happened since I've downloaded the app, and it has failed to post anything about it. Ultimately useless.AAK2009
Terrible
Truck just ran down pedestrians and driver exited shooting. No notifications. This is what I got this app for so don’t wast your time downloading it just follow the news.Emmento
Very useful
This app is a great replacement for the email alerts.Sniffly
Good idea, bad execution
This app had such promise but you end up getting spammed with a lot of useless notifications. Got to the point it was unusable so I deleted it. All I wanted was an app that would alert me to true emergencies—ie, messages that would truly cause me to take action. This app doesn’t allow this. I tried many different notification settings and each still time got bombarded with messages that weren’t relevant.Show lesslonsydsao
