The Air Alert app by Ajax Systems is now available for Android and iOS

Ajax Systems has launched their new Air Alert app, which is now available to download in the App Store and Google Play Market. The app has been supported by the Ministry of Digital Transformation of Ukraine and is an initiative from stfalcon.com.

The app instantly informs users about the beginning and end of a civil defence alert in the region. No registration is needed and the user is only required to select the relevant region. Air Alert does not collect users’ or geolocation data.

When required, the app generates a loud alert warning of an airstrike, chemical attack, technological catastrophe or other types of civil defence alerts. Air Alert is the only application supporting critical alerts among similar ones. It means that notifications are delivered even in the smartphone’s silent or sleep mode. The app notifications duplicate civil defence sirens in cities, so please consider their signals when reacting to the app notifications. The Air Alert app is an additional tool, not a primary civil defence alerts source.

Civil defence sirens or other informing measures are not as effective in remote or new city districts, in small towns and villages. Therefore, it is necessary to have a reliable alternative tool with alerts to monitor the situation. The app receives signals first-hand from Ukrainian regional administrations, allowing people to react as quickly as possible.

To receive notifications:

1. Install the app via Google Play Market or AppStore.
2. Grant permissions to send notifications and critical alerts.
3. Select the region in which you want to receive notifications.
4. Receive notifications on the beginning and end of civil defence alerts.

* Be sure to enable automatic updates on your smartphone to use the latest version of the app.
