Looks like you have unique permission set on the List i.e user can see the items which they added.
Workaround:
Method # 1:
- Grant everybody in the list with read permission.
Method 2:
- Create your own custom Workflow, which will send email on item adding / update item.
- Create an event recievre for it.
Method 3:
- Try 3rd party tool i.e harePoint Alerts from bamboo
