Poorly implemented. Eat your own dog food kids.
Missing person alerts overwhelm significant emergency notifications
I had to turn notifications off as you cannot deactivate missing persons alerts. It is sad because this could have been such a vital safety tool for New Yorkers.

Приложение хорошее, нужные оповещения приходят, в принципе для своих целей приложение вполне подходит
Missing person alerts…
The system itself is incredibly helpful, but it seems like the missing person alert being in the required category is holding the whole app hostage. I hate to say that because I don’t want it to seem heartless, but in a city impacting tens of millions of people per day, the focus of specific individuals going to all of our phones as a citywide emergency seems political or personal. which unfortunately is inappropriate for the purpose of this app which can save many peoples lives at once as opposed to crowd, sourcing an entire city to solve individual cases.
Additionally, in the app, which I downloaded to circumvent the email frequency, it doesn’t even include a picture of the person in the app. I was literally going to unsubscribe from the emails so that I could not have it pop up across all of my devices simultaneously when I get an email alert and just have it limited to my phone screen, but even if trying to help on the phone, you have to open each individual missing person and then find the image link to click.

Drains Battery
This app uses about 30% of battery running in the background, and if it’s not running in the background you won’t get alerts. Unusable.
