POM Alert Reviews

Good

I bought this app last week. So far I like it. It has given me notifications of traffic alerts. Which I really need living in a highly congested city. As for the sex offenders, it's ok. I do like being notified of a new icky person in my area. I do have an different app for sex offenders which is quite good but no notifications. I will review this app at another time for an update.

error registering with server....:(

Seems like a great Idea, the info I can get is very helpful, but I can not get the traffic updates, under POM Alert all I have is Homeland Security and sex offenders???? where is traffic, why can't I change my time zone??? Please fix these and let me register with my server

What happened??

Poooooooor service

The app was working great for a few months but within the last month, NO Alerts???

Bought a new iPhone and transferred all my apps, and the only app that no longer functions AT ALL is POM Alerts! What must I do? Buy it again!?

Nice

I appreciate the push notifications. Would like ability to specify which items i want the notifications for! Pretty great idea though and I am glad I decided to try it out.

Ok but not great

I live in metro Atlanta and have not received a traffic alert in the week I've had the app. That really is suspect considering I sat in numerous traffic jams.

Does not work

When first downloaded I received some alerts but NOT ANY alerts the past 3 months. Nothing on the east coast 5.8 earthquake near Mineral VA or hurricane Irene. The app is properly configured. Version 1.0

Good concept, implementation needs improvement

I give them four stars for the concept. However, I take away a half-star because they don't give you an obvious way to determine what alerts you've already seen without actually reading them. I take away another half-star because they don't let you set the level at which you want to be alerted, or the distance from your designated location from which you want that alert to fire. For example, I don't want to be alerted any time there is a 5.0 or greater earthquake anywhere in a 5000 mile radius, but I would want to be notified if there was a 9.0 earthquake anywhere in a 5000 mile radius, with appropriate smaller radiuses for smaller quakes (i.e., any quake within a 100 mile radius that is a 6.0 or higher). Unfortunately, with POM Alert, it's either off or on, and you have to take the distances and alert warning strengths that they provide. The app hasn't been updated since May 2010. That's an awful long time for an iPhone app. I would give them another half-star if they fully and properly supported the iPad, and had Retina-quality graphics for the iPhone 4. They would get another half-star if they let me select multiple locations, with optional alternative levels of sensitivity and distance. It would be great if they could include a wider array of different types of alerts and a wider array of different sources of information (for example, wildfire notices for California are posted on a different website than the one they currently use). Ideally, that would also include user reports for certain types of events, such as traffic accidents or roads being blocked. Thinking even further forward, they could even allow you to get push alerts based on your current GPS location, which could be really handy for those highly localized issues like traffic problems. Meanwhile, I'm looking at other location-based alerting applications.

Nice app

I've found the alerts I've setup to be very useful. I hope to see more possibilities and more informative information in future updates, say maybe a link pointed to any news station streaming live on the topic allowing us to watch would be cool.
