Be Better Informed Than Ever

Dear Kiwi,

App Progress

We're still working on the App, but as they say; "good things take time, great things take a little longer".
We needed a purpose-built app, so we had to write it all ourselves. Having input from some many subscribers, the App is a truly community effort. The end result is likely to impress. Nearly all smart phones should be able to use it, and it will replace our current Txt service. The App will also be perfect for isolated communities because it works on WIFI.
You will be sent the link to the App and will be able to try it out for a period for free, after which you can choose to keep getting alerts or not.

Images with Lerts

With some alerts we now attach images, e.g. with road alerts to show the detour on a map. A picture is worth a thousand words! They will also appear in the App.

Link Issues

Recently we sent an alert for a food recall. As usual we included a short link. Two people commented the link was bad and a warning appeared like this image -

Ever seen this?

We're also interested in how you use our links - take our 30 sec survey
