Ratings and reviews

Could be good, but too basic - not enough user settings. You either get all alerts or none. Can't pick just emergencies or by category (e.g. events, infrastructure, weather, etc). Get multiple notifications per day, but on the notifications tab, you only see the previous month, so if you dismissed it, it is hard to find again.

This is how I found out about the 28s exit to the highland park bridge being closed until September. Also, it had a bunch of helpful information about the cheswick tower implosions. No ads and helpful info? Sign me up!

Very informative, keeps me upto date. Almost didn't download it but really glad I did.
