About this app

First Alert by Dataminr transforms publicly available information into actionable breaking news alerts, identifying the most relevant information in real time for first responders. Users don’t have to watch a stream of information - the most actionable breaking news alerts find them, including the ones they don’t know they’re looking for.

Ratings and reviews

App is VERY in depth and advanced. Great once you learn it. But In my topic lists, I can't change any topics within the list. I can't turn them on or off. Not sure if this is a bug or intentional. Really frustrating. Edit: Lists can be set by your admin, so you can't change them. It's not the apps fault.

Possibility to add a "not related" button to aid in tracked events notification. Many times I'm flagged with items across the country in tracked stories because it has a similar event (eg shots fired, active shooter, etc) and I will recieve excess notices. Otherwise not a bad app. Could be improved though.

The app login never works! I've tried multiple times with numerous password resets and I've only been able to login with the app once. The website works, but this app is garbage. The news sources and timeliness of the reports are good, and you can get breaking news via email alerts, but honestly following Reuters or AP on Twitter will be a more reliable experience.
