Much better

I prefer the app over the web gui “dashboard”. The local alerts need to be better and allow GPS to be used on the end device to continuously update your search parameters. Let me reiterate, the GPS location information should NOT be uploaded to the dataminr cloud and ONLY used on the local end user device.

Stop making me log out

Bro please end this 30 day sign out stuff this is not NIPR.

Additional Option

Really like this App, but an additional feature that would be nice would be able to select the level of alert you wish to receive for each Topic/Location

While you have some choices like receiving all alerts or just Flashes there isn’t an Option to be able to receive only Urgent and Flash notifications and not lower alerts

App broken

This app used to work great, but now will no longer open. I still get notifications, but the app is not functional if you click on the alert or try to open the app… just a black screen. Please fix this!!!!!

No Option to Create An Account

So I installed the app and there’s only a login option. No way to create an account.
