  1. 3/5Good

    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

  2. 4/5Needs improvement

    The app is definitely so much better than receiving text messages. The only thing I would change it being able to change your subscription settings from the app. It's not easy doing it from the webpage on my phone. There should be a mobile friendly version to add and remove what we are subscribed to.

  3. 2/5All about who you know

    The app and the basis behind it is quite a great idea. 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.

  4. 4/5Better

    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.

  5. 2/5App 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.
