Ratings and reviews

I like the app overall but we should be able to customize the types of notifications we get. For example, I really don't care about the concerts and games going on because I don't drive. I only care about emergency and weather situations. It's jarring to get a notification in general, but then to realize it's just about a concert or a game...that's just annoying.

A frustrating app. I really only use it for the alerts, and even those are inconsistent. There are two alert categories: "Emergency" and "General Information" and these categories seem randomly applied. White Sox games end up in Emergencies and unannounced road closures end up in General Information. A simple calendar of all big events in the upcoming week would be a great addition, as well as proper categorizing of alerts.

Useless. You'd think an app built for Chicago Office of Emergency Management and Communication would actually be about Chicago, and not Naperville, and Oak Brook or other suburbs. Instead every time I try to find out what's actually happening in the city a particular day, I end up with suburban events that may be going on for weeks. Even worse, the few major events or does show are weeks or months old. I don't need to know about the NASCAR race three weeks after it's over.
