Vital
Perhaps the best OSINT tool I’ve ever used.

Great app! Thank you for all the hard work and dedication! Stay informed America! Stay sharp. Stay frosty.
Eye on middle East
Great story on the drone being shot down by US forces saw it on this site before I saw it Reuters ,New York Times et cetera .
Needs an IOS widget
It just needs an IOS widget deadass.
Great potential but needs work
The impact level categories really need to be looked at — high should be for critical and serious events, not about a small company CEO retiring. Please consider looking at the categories. High should be for major incidents like terrorist attacks, major natural disasters, etc. As a paid subscriber, I’ll give it another month or two but if things don’t change I’ll cancel.

I like this
But will be better in several languages
Cool idea, poor execution
The app is pretty. The information itself is okay. It seems LLM generated, I notice inaccuracies. Lots of news included that feels useless or irrelevant (sports news?). Some news flagged as “high” also seems very underwhelming; do we need an “extreme” category?
Analytical Game-changer
I’m absolutely impressed by the content the app delivers. It gives everything and I need, and none of what I don’t. It continues to get better and better. The desktop version is a major plus when my phone isn’t available. The only change I want to see right now is the sharing option. When I make a screenshot, the app prompts me to use its sharing feature. The only problem with that is, you need to be signed into an account to see it. Perhaps something like the NYT where I’m able to gift 10x “reports” or give an exec sum and leave out the analysis.

Hacked
I was really pleased with the app and using it as a principle news source until this morning when they reported that there has been an explosion in Westminster UK - you can image the panic - and after an hour the alert simply vanished - I thought this app was all about very high levels of source confirmation - clearly not!!! Asking for my money back.

Keeps me updated
Sitrep has kept me up-to-date on major developments in my Security research area in my watch countries.
great app, need notifications
love the app. want the notifications to work.
Map dots not working correctly
Following news in Mexico and when I click on the post it’s pointing to areas in Asia instead of the towns in Mexico.
Unbiased Review
I rarely rate news apps, let alone write a review, but in this instance, I must break that rule I have to write this. As a news-junkie of multiple decades, I’ve had every news app, paid and free, as well as subscriptions to NYT, Washington Post, WSJ, as well as Ground News and every news platform right, left and center. Why? Because getting a “straight” news article is next to impossible when it comes to geopolitical affairs. That is where SITREP really shines! No fluff, no bias, no slant, no spin! The best part is SITREP gives you EXACTLY what you need to be an informed news consumer: Who, What, When, Where, Why PLUS a brief analysis of why they published the info. Better still, they DO provide the citations for who broke a news item or claimed it. Add to that you can set up countries that you want items from, plus “confidence levels” (low, medium, high) as to how reliable a story likely is… and you can filter that way, as well as set up notifications for levels. I used SITREP for less than 30 minutes and immediately set up a Pro level account for $9.99 … well worth every penny!!! Do it. You won’t regret it. And they are constantly updating the app! Bonus!

A little too informative
I like getting the push notifications on major breaking news, and I really like how the data is organized in the briefings. 5 stars if I could dial in which push notifications I get because it's too much currently, and I've only got a handful of countries on my watch list that I want updates on periodically.
Overall, great work team 💪💪

Good but some bugs
The apps works but I keep getting old notifications and old news about things that aren’t happening and isn’t being covered by any other sources.
Do not download this app.
I downloaded this app and immediately had doubts about its security. After digging into its permissions and background activity, I became concerned that it might be collecting more data than it needs. Based on the behavior and lack of transparency from the developers, I don’t believe they have the infrastructure or experience to protect user data. Use at your own risk.

Limited utility at the moment but significant potential in the future
TLDR: great for tips and leads for further investigation. Extremely unreliable in its current format and the UI is frankly bad.
As a graduate student (US citizen, English language speaker) studying global intelligence with a focus on cybersecurity and defense intelligence, this app has been an interesting novelty over the course of my trial period and it has provided me some breaking news I would have otherwise missed. However, for an average user unable to proactively vet sources— or for a user with significant time constraints— this app represents an informational overload. Absent the ability to directly investigate the “curated” sourcing of specific briefings/notifications, it is NOT an authoritative source for breaking intelligence, even in cases where sourcing could later be evaluated as credible.
The app has huge potential and I will continue to use it but if you are seeking an authoritative source, without the need to extensively vet the claims provided, I HIGHLY advise seeking a different product.
Additionally, there are frequent UI bugs that make the design of the app unintuitive and decrease its usability. The map feels like a gimmick that takes away from the readability on the reports, forcing you to scroll frequently while looking as a map display that takes up 1/3-1/2 of your device’s screen while providing no additional information.
At $10/mo I cannot recommend this application, despite its novelty and ingenuity. It increases the uncertainty of a decision-maker and likely exposes them to superfluous/ extraneous data unrelated to their needs as an intelligence consumer, in its present form.
If these challenges can be overcome, this is a revolutionary platform for a wide variety of users.

Just the beginning
As a news junkie I’ll never use anything else. This is bar none, the best app available for real time breaking news & events. I get notified on SitRep HOURS, sometimes DAYS before the major outlets pick it up. I feel this has so much potential to change reporting & information sourcing as we know it. If you wanna be first in the know give it a shot.

Great App!
I love how quick the updates are. Seems to be a constant rate of information coming in. It’s great to read news from literally the whole world.
Why the constant need to log in?
I love the reporting, and the followed tab is excellent. 5 stars for those!
What irks me is having to log in half the time I open the app. Please, just keep me logged in. This is what takes it down stars in my book.
