## What is Heads Up Community?

Unified alerts notification system. The app allows users to directly receive important information, via Apple's Push Notification Service, that has been input by trusted delegates from an area's authorized personnel. Ranging from more common scenarios such as accidents on the highway or school closings to severe incidents like the previous "derecho" storm - Heads Up aims to keep the public safer and more informed with live information from trusted sources.

We do not require any personal information such as email or phone number. We also do not use geolocation or geofencing as to be very cognizant of your battery life.

If Heads Up! Community is not in your area, please let your officials know you'd like for them to use it!

### 2/5 — Terrible

*2026-01-28*

White screen %100 of the time I try to open the app now. Used to work but not now.

### 3/5 — Can’t get alerts

*2022-10-15*

I’ve rebooted several times. Can get notifications but when go to site alerts won’t load. Help.

### 3/5 — Deleting alerts

*2021-06-01*

How come alerts can not be deleted all at one time??  How can I log in...

**Developer response:** Thank you for reporting this to us.  We are aware of this issue and actively working to correct it.  A new release is coming out very soon that will correct the deletion of alerts.  Sorry for the inconvenience.  We hope you will reconsider the rating once we fix the issue.  Please update your app to the latest version when available.

### 2/5 — Stale alerts

*2020-04-11*

I only care about current alerts, at most, only 7 days old. There is no need to see alerts since the service started. Please add a ‘delete all’ or limit how far back alerts are shown. You’ll earn 3 more stars when these suggestions have been implemented.

**Developer response:** Thank you for reporting this to us.  We are aware of this issue and actively working to correct it.  A new release is coming out very soon that will correct the deletion function.  Sorry for the inconvenience.  We hope you will reconsider the rating once we fix the issue.

### 3/5 — Needs batch delete

*2019-08-08*

Excellent service for keeping up with emergencies, road closures, weather threats, Golden alerts, power outages, boil water advisories, and much more. BUT—when you first download the app, EVERY prior notification (for years) is listed. To delete, you must swipe, then press delete, then confirm “yes” for every single message. Must-have app, but please give us batch message delete.

### 5/5 — Great app

*2018-07-27*

This is a great app to keep you updated on what is going on in the community. Would recommend everyone to download.

### 5/5 — Helpful

*2018-07-27*

Saves me time because I don't like getting trapped in traffic

### 4/5 — Useful

*2018-06-26*

I find this very useful but am curious as to how to remove the old alerts. I tried using the remove button several times. It will say there are no more alerts but the next day or two, the old alerts are again on my phone

### 3/5 — Useful, but.

*2018-02-18*

I agree this is a useful app, but I’ve found it needs internet connection to work.
I was in our car this evening trying to find out if roads were closed due to flooding from heavy rains.  That was not possible without an Internet connection.

**Developer response:** Hi JMat, yes, Push notifications and the alert list relay on some form of data connection, either cellular or Wi-Fi.  Now, depending on the area you live in, you can also sign up to receive text message notifications.  However, you're going to run into the same issue when service is limited.  Typically is there isn't enough data for the app to populate, there isn't going to be enough service to get an SMS message.

### 5/5 — Very useful to keep aware of surroundings

*2018-02-05*

I find this app to be a very useful way for my community leaders to keep residents in the know about weather, road conditions, school issues, and other topics.
