### 4/5 — Banner notifications lead nowhere

*2024-02-08*

Several times now I’ve gotten a banner notification of something going on locally and when I click on the banner it takes me to the app’s list of posts and there’s no post that correlates with the banner notification I got and no posts recent enough to be related to the banner notification

**Developer response:** Hi Trey, apologies behalf of the team for our delay in response. We are aware of this concern, many times we push a notification first before making a post, that way users are immediately notified of current incidents. Some incidents we do not immediately get detailed information regarding, so sometimes scratch writing a story altogether. We hope to make this more clear in the future. If you have additional specific concerns or would like to elaborate, please email jack@moconow.org. Best- J

### 5/5 — Clean and intuitive design

*2023-10-17*

This app is not bloated with advertisements and feels like something that Apple made themselves. All of the information is easy to access and the personal alerts are incredibly useful.

**Developer response:** Thank you for your review! We appreciate the feedback and if you have any feature suggestions please email jack@moconow.org
