SpotIt-Alerts — Your Neighborhood, Your Alerts, Your Way
SpotIt-Alerts is a community-powered mobile app providing real-time alerts about nearby safety, activity, and events. Your neighborhood is defined dynamically by a user-selected radius (up to 6 miles), so alerts stay relevant wherever you are.
