Unfortunately, the app is incredibly overpriced for what it is. I would submit multiple events and they were never shared. One would finally show up an hour later and was credited to another user. I truly believe it’s all about who’s friends with who is running the office. Some emergency service departments get ALL of their basic calls shared. Others NEVER are seen. Just not a even smooth playing ground. Was glad to cancel the app. Worth the refund. -- tmurt14, 2022-06-10 ### *---- "Buggy App" App crashes regularly making it difficult to review the incidents. -- MedicAtMidnight, 2022-01-20 ### **--- "App consistently Crashes" When using the app it consistently crashes, forcing a restart. You then have to search out the incident you were reviewing and start over. -- Swil498, 2022-01-15 ### ****- "Nice app" Can searches be shown in map format as well? Can searches go back further? Can the data be exported? Can you include precinct number on reports? Thanks -- sr1ny, 2021-08-05 ### ***-- "Good" There are a lot of specific options that are selectable which is awesome. Notification are quick and to the point. The two things that keep it from a 5 star rating for me is how difficult it is to change settings, needing to remember your unique log in and logging in to a web browser. Also, I love the feature of getting notified when anywhere in the country goes over a 3rd alarm, however I would love the option to unfollow or mute notifications from an incident. The whole reason I’m writing this review now is because to the 100th time there is an incident in NJ that someone keeps posting useless photos of. Every 30 seconds I’m getting a notification of new media posted and it’s just a picture of a plume of smoke a mile away -- Matt024mjd, 2020-12-02 ### ***** "Love the new app" Love the new app, so many good new things, favorite so far is I can customize all the alerts -- No stars for u!, 2019-10-20 ### **--- "Ringtone" Need the old ringtones from the old app... Also when i set my rings I don’t expect to have to set them almost weekly. Why does it keep changing? FIX THIS -- Steven196, 2019-07-03 ### *---- "Stopped working" This app has completely shut down. Not one single notification in over a week. -- 2shotCharlie, 2019-06-06 ### ****- "Better" Latest version is good. Need to fix the app so thar if u dont choose to see notifications from the text groups that they dont show up as a bubble on the BNN icon. I dont care about people chatting about things in NJ, I want to see a red bubble when I've missed a notification in my area. -- Oldtar, 2019-05-31 [View all Breaking News Network reviews and detailed analytics on AppTail](https://app.apptail.io/signup?utm_campaign=ai-crawl&utm_content=reviews) ## Breaking News Network Discovered Keywords - bnn - breaking news network --- ## About AppTail [AppTail](https://apptail.io) is a mobile app intelligence platform providing app analytics, ASO (App Store Optimization) tools, keyword tracking, competitor analysis, revenue estimates, and review monitoring for iOS App Store apps.
