User Reviews

Reviewers praise First Alert by Dataminr for real-time, accurate reporting and a feature-rich experience that helps users stay informed, including government/civil service personnel where it is free. The app is described as easy to use and fast at delivering alerts, with a strong emphasis on factual information and verification. However, several repeat issues undermine reliability: the app frequently shows a blank/black screen on launch, updates seem to introduce bugs and instability, and users want more alert customization, such as per-topic/location levels and alert-type filtering. Overall, strong potential hampered by stability and feature gaps.

Pros

Real-time alerts that keep users informed quickly.
Accurate reporting with follow-ups and correction of false reports.
Easy to use with a well-designed interface.
Feature-rich with many menus and customization options.
Useful for government and civil service users; free for government employees.

Cons

App often opens to a blank/black screen, making it unusable.
Recent updates appear to introduce bugs and inconsistent behavior.
Lacks customizable alert options (per-topic/location levels and alert-type filtering).

Recent reviews

I prefer the app over the web gui “dashboard”. The local alerts need to be better and allow GPS to be used on the end device to continuously update your search parameters. Let me reiterate, the GPS location information should NOT be uploaded to the dataminr cloud and ONLY used on the local end user device.

Really like this App, but an additional feature that would be nice would be able to select the level of alert you wish to receive for each Topic/Location While you have some choices like receiving all alerts or just Flashes there isn’t an Option to be able to receive only Urgent and Flash notifications and not lower alerts
