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.

Key Features

- Community-Powered Reporting
Users can submit alerts and vote on reports to help surface relevant, accurate, and appropriate information.

Users choose which alert categories and content levels they want to see — giving full control over the experience.

Alerts automatically adapt to your location, ensuring information stays relevant whether you are at home or on the go.
- Trusted Sources
Alerts may come from both community members and verified data providers to support a balanced and reliable information stream.
- Public & Private Groups
Users can send and receive alerts publicly or within private groups, such as building residents (e.g. 2000McCormickPlace) or interest-based communities (e.g. 1414MahjongClub).
