This app does not notify you or send push notifications, even if you have the setting turned on . ### 2/5 — Notifications don’t work *2024-01-17* If the notifications don’t work I might as well just check the website, what exactly does the app do? ### 3/5 — App Alerts Aren’t Working *2024-01-17* I’m no longer receiving alerts for anything! I have to login to the app or the website to find out status. Disappointing. ### 3/5 — Says the govt is open on a federal holiday *2023-01-02* Today is a federal holiday (New Years Day Observed) and yet OPM Alert is telling me the government is Open with Maximum Telework Flexibilities. That makes no sense whatsoever. And of course there is no way to contact OPM to tell them they got it wrong. Even their website says the same thing and offers no way to contact them about OPM Alert. ### 1/5 — STATUS *2021-01-26, version 2.4.1* You would think they would fix this app and the status after a year. The same ole problem, worthless. ### 4/5 — Just installed this App... *2021-01-15, version 2.4.1* ...and wanted to point out that under Settings, “Delayed Arrival” appears twice. ### 1/5 — Information is not updated *2020-12-15, version 2.4.1* The details in this app with regard to COVID has not been updated since 07 May 2020. ### 1/5 — Won’t open from menu anymore *2020-01-08, version 2.3.0* App won’t open when clicking on it. Only way I can open is by opening it through the App Store. ### 1/5 — Used to be invaluable *2020-01-07* Now, on my iPhone 11 Pro, the app just crashes upon opening. It goes without saying that alert notifications don’t come through either. The dev team is apparently moving at the speed of government with keeping up to date. ### 2/5 — Good if you’re in DC *2019-12-18, version 2.3.0* It was pretty useful when I lived in DC. But in typical fashion, they seem to have forgotten that our government has offices and employees in all states and territories and across the globe. ### 1/5 — Won’t launch anymore. *2019-12-16, version 2.3.0* Consistently crashes upon launch. ### 1/5 — App is a failure; same folks want to run your healthcare *2019-12-13, version 2.3.0* Crashes, doesn’t load, settings don’t work. If they can’t fix an app how do you expect them to manage your healthcare? ### 3/5 — Was working great...but not now... *2019-12-11, version 2.3.0* This was a great way to check OPM status...but now it won’t open? Please fix!! ### 1/5 — App won’t update *2019-11-12, version 2.3.0* App says to update, but the update is not happening. App support only opens the OPM website which is of course not helpful. Am I supposed to figure out which number to call to get App support? ### 1/5 — No longer launching *2019-11-01, version 2.2.1* Used to work like a charm. Now it fails to launch. ### 4/5 — Good, but needs a bit of polishing. *2019-06-28* This app does everything you would hope it would do. The data is accurate and is updated at the same time as the website. However, work needs to be done to correct the notification settings. I’m using the current version and the list of available notifications I can receive is duplicated. I’ve turned off “Open” in three different places, but still the notifications come. It got to the point that I just turned off app notifications all together. ### 1/5 — Daily alerts for open *2019-02-27, version 2.2.1* This is crazy, get a alert every night at 12:30 am saying open. I had to remove it. Please try to make something that works like it should. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Notifications Not Working *2025-02-12* I used to get notifications from this app but something has changed and I no longer get them. I reviewed the app notifications on my phone and all are set to receive. ### 1/5 — Notifications don’t work *2025-01-07* Doesn’t matter what settings are selected, I’ve had the app for several months and have gone through several updates and the app never sends push notifications or alerts. I find out the OPM status from friends and coworkers and then I look at the app and see the status changed. Terrible implementation. ### 1/5 — No notifications *2025-01-07, version 2.5.1* Doesn’t provide notifications ### 1/5 — Push notifications don’t work. *2025-01-06, version 2.5.1* Push notifications don’t work making the app useless ### 1/5 — Snow day, NO notification *2025-01-06* I have patiently waited until an inclement weather day to see if I would get an alert. Today is the day! January 6, 2025. Snowed all night. Forecast for continued snow all day. Federal Government CLOSED. This is exactly the reason why I have this app. Yet NO notifications. I have updated the app, checked all my settings. Nothing. And this is a large storm where updates regarding closures and delays are crucial over the next couple days. Additionally, January 9 was declared a federal holiday, date of morning for President Jimmy Carter. Will I get a notification for that?? I can easily check status online. The whole purpose of the app for me is to receive notifications, which used to occur seamlessly. Please do better, OPM. Please fix the app, so that notifications work properly. If there is something that all these reviewers are doing wrong with regard to notifications, please add a tutorial page to walk us through the process to get notifications. ### 1/5 — Notifications Enabled. Never Once Received a Notification *2025-01-06* Within the app settings, all options are checked; in my phone’s settings, notifications are enabled. Don’t think I’ve received a notification in years. Not sure what this app is for if it doesn’t notify you of closures. ### 1/5 — Nothing Works *2024-08-09, version 2.5.1* The notifications no longer work and as I write this it’s almost 8 AM EDT and the app hasn’t been updated from yesterday. Why bother to have the app!!? ### 1/5 — Did someone forget to update it daily? *2024-01-16, version 2.5.1* MLK is a government holiday so why is the status still stuck on Open (expected to be at work on time). ### 1/5 — I just don’t like OPM *2022-12-21, version 2.4.1* App works great, OPM just annoys me lol ### 1/5 — App now useless *2022-12-15, version 2.4.1* The app does not function in the background and does not reliably provide notifications. What’s the purpose, then? Totally useless! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Best app evaaaa 😝😝 *2025-12-01* As soon as I came across this app on the App Store I was udderly mesmerized. How could this be? I’ve spent hours each day scrolling to find the perfect app and bam, here it is. My eyes were first caught by the gentle curves of the tab titled “Dismissal and Closure Procedures”, the writing in elegant grey font, a stark contrast from the sharp green above. With great difficulty I tear myself away from it and allow my gaze to rest on the three bars lovingly crafted in the left hand corner. Immediately I am overcome with a great sense of adventure, it was as an unexplored crevice appears to a nimble spelunker. I tap my fingers on them gently, unlocking a world of wonders. Three choices appear before me, a hidden emblem adorns the space beneath them and I gasp. What wonders are in store for me? What journeys lie ahead? Only time will tell…. ### 5/5 — Accurate status updates *2023-10-14* The app provides up to date status updates as soon as it happens. Have had this app for three years and never any issues. Works great. ### 5/5 — Furlough options *2019-03-03, version 2.2.1* Please add this ### 5/5 — Never has an app brought me so much joy *2019-02-11, version 2.2.0* This is an app that’s sole purpose is to tell me that I don’t need to work. Never has a piece of code brought me so much joy. 5 stars is not nearly enough to capture the amount of happiness this app brings with its cheerful notifications from the benevolent ones at OPM. ### 5/5 — 5 star *2018-03-26, version 2.0.5* Sends me a notification everyday ### 5/5 — Shut Down *2018-03-22* I have the app loaded on my phone but it won’t completely open. Not sure why though ### 5/5 — OPM APP *2018-01-23, version 2.0.5* This is my “Go-To” App. One stop shop. The easiest way to eliminate the middle-man! ### 5/5 — To the point. *2017-03-14* It does exactly what you would need it to do...Notify you of alerts. ### 5/5 — It does one thing well *2016-01-26, version 2.0.3* During the big snowstorm in DC, I was happily sipping hot apple cider reading a book while my friends were madly hitting refresh on the opm website to find out if we needed to go into the office the next day. I got a little push notification at the same time they got the news. Thanks OPM! Obviously a pretty useless app if you're not a federal worker or a DC employee whose work schedule is tied to OPM announcements, by if you are - super handy. ### 5/5 — Love this App! *2015-02-05* Top notch --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
