"Police I Lert U " app

[Gaccha]

This new app created by the Thai police will apparently treat any messages sent on it as equivalent to an emergency phone call. It requires your id and your photo so there are privacy issues.

Has anybody registered/used it?

They claim to be able to respond to Thai and English requests.

[Gaccha]

So... not a popular app then...

What's a "Lert" and do they come with batteries?

What's a "Lert" and do they come with batteries?

Could be short for 'Perlert'.

[NeverSure]

I always wanted to be a lert. The world needs more lerts. Without lerts and wares, we wouldn't know things like this.

[Gaccha]

It's the genuine name of the app. It's not a typo....

[krisb]

There was a story on here about it not long ago

[robblok]

It's the genuine name of the app. It's not a typo....

Then they forgot an A in the description.. I Alert U

Typical happens a lot in Thailand that they don't get a foreigner to check their text.

They will correct it when they get a "to,it", at the moment they only have a square "to,it" and they need a round one.

if that is how they are starting out i do not want to even know what any response is going to be from them in times of need
