November 18, 2024

- Setup up to four custom locations for push notifications. For each location, choose a radius of 5, 10, 15, or 20 miles. If a new incident is reported within a circular region centered at your specified location with radius of your choosing as well, you will get a background push notification. If you are active in the app, you will NOT get a notification. You will NOT get push notifications for incident updates, only for the initial incident report. Some incidents are reported initially with no coordinates, and may or may not be notified. Please remember to Refresh the app frequently. Pull down or press down on any push notification to get a map preview within the notification. Tap a notification to launch the app centered to where the location was reported (NOTE: If you tap a notification after three hours of when it came in, the incident details will no longer be available).

User reviews

Obnoxious weather pin

This new weather function is beyond pointless. More of a hinder. No easy way to close out of an option tab. Simple is always better.

Confusing and Clumsy

I’ve used several apps covering the same information. This is the worst so far. Deleted after a few minutes of use.
