User Reviews

Users broadly praise Notify NYC as an official source for real-time city alerts that can help New Yorkers stay informed during emergencies. However, repeated complaints center on a flood of alerts, including non-emergency notices, and the inability to disable missing-person alerts. Many reports cite disruptive pop-ups that can’t be dismissed, plus significant battery drain and UX glitches. Some note the app hasn’t been updated in a while, undermining reliability, though the core mission—city-wide notifications—remains valued.
Pros
  • Official city-wide emergency notifications with real-time updates.
  • Helps users stay informed about important events and public health information.
  • Broad coverage of safety alerts and city updates.
  • Provides alternative notification channels (e.g., SMS) for alerts when device access is limited.
Cons
  • Missing persons alerts are mandatory and cannot be disabled, causing constant alerts.
  • Too many alerts, including non-emergency notices, with limited ability to filter.
  • Persistent pop-up notifications that cannot be dismissed, interrupting app use.
  • Significant battery drain due to background activity.
  • Reliability/maintenance concerns, including long gaps between updates and occasional UX issues.

Poorly implemented. Eat your own dog food kids.

I had to turn notifications off as you cannot deactivate missing persons alerts. It is sad because this could have been such a vital safety tool for New Yorkers.
