Notify NYC

The alerts come in fine, but whenever I get into the app itself whatever the most recent pop up is won’t go away no matter how many times I hit the “dismiss” button, making it impossible to use

Typical NYC government junk app, hasn’t been updated in over a year. Sends way too many alerts to the point where i want to turn it all off. Last night this stupid app woke me up at 3:30am to tell me it’s going to snow in two days. Why do i need to know that at 3:30 am?!!! And giving feedback is pointless because they’ll never update it.

To a commentator seems in distress, due to (?). Well. Is true the App’s algorithm also sanctioned us a second notice… about emergencies to abide by; I chose the latter. The good outcome is; it can be re-done at my wish. FABi

A recent update of this app has caused it to start using huge amounts of battery in the background. During an hour drive today it was responsible for 82% of my significant battery drain with 45 minutes of background activity (according to battery performance report in settings).

Sort out the alerts. Anytime I can go into the app, the alerts continually pop up, not allowing me to read any other messages.

It would be a useful app but although you can select alerts relevant to you, there are some you can not turn off, like “missing persons”. This means the app becomes yet another annoying distraction, constantly chirping for your attention. I had to delete it.

They allow you to select the type of alerts but “Emergency Alerts” are required. However, even tho I only get Emergency Alerts, I often get 5 alerts a day for stupid non-emergency stuff like “Get your COVID booster” and other reminders. The people who run this app and send our alerts need to make sure that Emergency Alerts are true emergencies and not just public service announcements, or segregate those into optional notifications. Also, we should have an option to receive amber/grey alerts.

Loved this on Android. Switched to iPhone and it ignores my notification settings. I’ve specifically asked it not to tell me about traffic disruptions because who cares about cars. And I keep getting them anyways.

The app is great! It helps you know about all important things in NY! But when I click on my notification it brings me to the app and when I press ok it it just keeps popping up! Is there someway this could be fixed?

What happened to this app? Worked fine up until 2 weeks ago when the notifications for ASP from 9/3 to 9/8 came up and never left. You try to tap it away and it stays there, incessantly popping up like a subway preacher at 8am. Get it together, people. Deleting the app because it’s just not worth the space it takes up on my phone.
