Editor's review of Amber Alert Desktop Ticker

  • 3.0 stars

  • "Amber Alert Desktop Ticker"
  • Version reviewed: Amber Alert Desktop Ticker 1
This misleading program promises to deliver Amber Alerts directly to your desktop, but it didn't work as expected. Amber Alert Desktop creates a news ticker with two options, Tools and Links. Tools includes settings to modify the ticker's scrolling speed and location, while Links takes you to the publisher's Web site as well as to its partner, Team Amber Alert. The program is preset to monitor the latter for headlines, and you aren't allowed to add other sites to monitor. During our tests, the program proved faulty during installation and usage; it required a reinstall to run, and even then failed to display headlines in the ticker. In addition, the Amber Alerts on the site didn't appear to come from official sources in most cases, and Team Amber Alert wasn't affiliated with the official government program. The negatives outweigh the positives with this freeware application, and users should look for other options for receiving official Amber Alerts.
