Our take

Consider only as supplementary public incident information

Nearby-first ordering can help orient users to the reports available from the described feeds.

Keep in mind: The app does not cache data and requires internet. GPS, agency feeds and old integration details may fail; it does not replace official warnings or instructions.

Good for

  • The app does not cache data and requires internet. GPS, agency feeds and old integration details may fail; it does not replace official warnings or instructions.
