### 1/5 — What went wrong

*2026-05-10, version 2.0.56*

This app used to be really great. Now alerts are blatantly ignored, even after multiple follow ups, and eventually just closed without any explanation or response at all. 

Not worth the subscription anymore unfortunately

### 3/5 — Update request

*2025-08-24, version 2.0.53*

I don’t like that every time I open the app there is a pop up to upgrade to premium version. In the case of an emergency it’s a waste of precious seconds between getting help and danger. Otherwise, great app.

### 5/5 — Perfect for Tourists & Locals

*2024-03-07, version 2.0.41*

Super simple - one click and you can alert emergency services and share location. 

Always check this before I leave too to make sure I’m not near any alerted areas.

### 4/5 — Fantastic concept but …

*2024-02-06, version 2.0.37*

The accidental alerts are frustrating!
Please add another step “ARE YOU SURE ?” before alerting the world.

### 5/5 — Brilliant app that saves lives!

*2023-08-15, version 2.0.35*

Love Buzzer, it keeps me and my family up to date.

### 5/5 — Happy user

*2023-08-03, version 2.0.35*

Not only does this app give an extra sense of security in your area, but they respond immediately and rush on scene very quickly. I have seen them resolve multiple situations time after time. They also send updates to all the users on the app in that specific area, so that everyone in the community is aware of the occurrences, and whether they have been resolved or not. Respect to all the members contributing to the creation of a safe community, this is exactly what my town needed.

### 5/5 — A must-have!

*2023-08-03, version 2.0.35*

I feel much safer knowing I have this on-hand. I can walk alone on campus and it’s great being able to follow up on other reports that are raised!

### 3/5 — Buzzer app

*2023-08-03, version 2.0.35*

I already feel so much safer having this app. Reading and following the alerts of others proves that people are taking action, contributing to a safer environment. 
Thank you ⭐️

### 5/5 — Thank you, we need this.

*2023-07-15, version 2.0.33*

Thanks for developing this. Have been looking for something like this for a while, and it feels like you guys are getting it right. One can comment about some minor ux improvements but that will improve, keep it up!

### 2/5 — No Functionality Despite Upgrade

*2022-10-26, version 2.0.25*

The app is great in theory, would be better if I could get it to work. I don’t receive any notifications (I have made sure all the correct settings are in place to receive notifications), and I am unable to add a connection - this despite upgrading to the highest tier available, with the app giving limited functionality.
