Perfect app ### 1/5 — Scammer? *2025-11-29* I downloaded the app when it was free and hadn’t used it so far. I get an email saying I’ve been charged and suddenly when the app price goes up my card was charged. My card is not attached to the app and cannot be used without my password so I don’t know how on gods green earth this app charged my card. Very upset. Waiting on a refund. I don’t mind paying if I’m willingly doing it myself but don’t somehow charge my card without me knowing. Pathetic excuse for human beings behind this app. **Developer response:** Hey, this shouldn’t have happened, definitely not something I set up and maybe due to apple. If you can’t refund on apple, dm the instagram and we’ll sort it out. Cheers ### 5/5 — Amazing best app ever *2025-10-21* Saved me form a $300 fine Thankyou to whoever created this ### 5/5 — Tech for good😇 *2025-10-14* Why’s this in the top paid chart tho, I don’t remember having to pay for this (would ### 4/5 — good idea, love checking out all the beautiful wildlife. *2025-10-04* probably shouldn’t have immutable email notif/ advertising for your other app on an otp, or at least something less loud on the screen, would make the ux that tad bit nicer. Otherwise a clever app that relies on a nice community of ppl. gj! oh and also haps having the public transport (filter/layer?) active on the interface for apple maps would be helpful if possible. i’m writing too much but also considering the cost of running this service and without ads seems to be fair, as it is practically cost effective. ### 1/5 — Used to be a great app *2025-09-27* For an app to be reliant on user contributions and then have the audacity to switch to a paid model is not a good look on the developers. They can justify it however they want to themselves but I won’t be falling for it. ### 3/5 — Great but greedy *2025-09-23* This app is a great idea and was super useful for a few weeks, when it was free to use. Now, the pricetag has caused significantly less people to actively use the app which has reduced the prevalence of people reporting problems. The app should have been taken to an ad-supported model instead of an upfront payment, given that the entire content of the app is completely reliant on user submissions. **Developer response:** Hey! PTV alert consistently gets >600 reports per day, which has actually increased since we added the $2 price tag. It may be that you’re traveling during quiet times for alerts. We hope you can understand that the price tag is necessary to cover the operating costs of hosting this app. Thanks for your feedback! ### 5/5 — Very useful app *2025-08-29* Help me navigate through city without hassles ### 5/5 — Easy to use *2025-08-13* Hope that more people know about this app ## Frequently asked questions about PtvAlert ### How do I add an alert in PtvAlert?
