Metro Vancouver Transit Police for Android
The app ran my phone wildly hot with 100% CPU. During this time there were multiple notifications from downed service. Please make sure you don't hit the CPU as much as you currently do. I have to uninstall for now until fixed.
Had an incident on a train coming to work and I was able to get transit police on scene within 5 min through text. Very impressed.
The app only shows a brief notification, but never provides the full details about the alert. When trying to open the details, the white screen appears...

What happened to the transit alerts? I hadn't gotten a notification in awhile so i checked and the page is completely blank

Just finished downloading the app, and as soon as I clicked on one of the icons, the app crashed. Reloaded and it still crashed. Such a fail.
It tells me whats going on
I really like this app. I got it on my nephews phones so they know what they can use when they go to school and home.
Just an over-glorified link to text Transit Police on your phone, which is not free. People don't want to toss money out to make wanna-be police officers feel important while ignoring your text or not solving the problem. Until you can use the app to make reports in lieu of texting, not worth your time.
Great app
Seems to be OK a bit slow and lacks major information
Great app, connects to Translink and many other relevant and useful link. A must app to have ♡it !

When you click on "Report a Problem", it just takes you to your regular messaging application to compose a message, with the correct number filled in. Better functionality can be achieved using an existing Android widget called "Direct Message" that's in the phone already. Just create a"Translink Police" contact with the mobile number 877777. Then go to Apps, switch to Widgets, and find the "Direct Message" widget and long-tap it to install somewhere in your desktop. Choose the contact for that widget when prompted (search for "Translink Police"). DONE! You now the same thing as the "Report a Problem" button, except that it's right on the home screen and launches messaging directly with one click, rather than detouring through a third party application. Alerts and news? That's what RSS readers are for: publish a feed and let people subscribe. The map feature isn't very useful; there is no explanation for what the items on the map mean (e.g. "Quality of Life" entries), or how to interpret and use the information.
Great to be connected!
