AMBER Alert App Awaiting Approval

Submitted by Edward Kirk on February 17, 2009 - 5:42pm.

Jonathan Zdziarski has announced the release of a new AMBER Alert iPhone app that works with the nation-wide AMBER Alert notification system that offers real-time missing persons information for suspected child abductions. According to Zdziarski, the app will be AMBER-aware and will run transparent to users, notifying them of all AMBER alerts in their area. The app will be released for free in the App Store.

Apps like this are exactly why we need push notification for apps on the iPhone. Sure, IM clients and apps like Facebook would benefit from push notification, but this kind of app begs for it.

Come on Apple, get push notifications working!
