Great app for our VFD
Jim_in_Texas
Active911 is a great app for our VFD. We are a small volunteer organization and use active911 for dispatching our EMS, Fire and service calls. With active911 we get paged out with location and details. Before showing up on scene we have enough information to orchestrate plans and assignments. We use the features of active911 to label places based on last/long. As an example, our active911 maps show locations for hydrants, frequent fliers and known hazard locations. We are pleased with this app. Great tool.
Great app

Love it. For some reason my alert won’t go off if I’m wearing my Apple Watch witch is annoying. Maybe a bug?
Could be 5 stars

The app does part of what it should do... I would give it 5 stars if the mapping system actually worked. For example, when clicking on the google maps button the app uses what I’m assuming to be gps coordinates vs the actual address. Maybe times the gps coordinates are wrong. And because they are gps coordinates it is impossible to verify that you are going to the correct address because you’re comparing numbers vs the actual address text. The other issues when using gps coordinates is when you arriving at the location. If I’m driving and I want to confirm the house number via the google map app I can’t because it shows that you have arrived at the gps location vs saying you have arrived at t 123 Main St for example. Another issue is you can not copy text from the dispatch information and then paste that into google maps, the app doesn’t allow you to copy information from the app to put into other apps like google maps, Apple Maps, or any other app. This makes verifying the address extremely hard and annoying. If they mapping issues aren’t their fault they should allow people to be able to copy and paste the information so you can easily google the address and verify the information is correct.
Good app; limited notification settings

I like this app, but I have to leave my ringer on in order to get continuous repaging. This means I will wake up a lot more for other stuff than if the silence bypass worked with continuous repaging. Otherwise, good job! No significant issues so far!
Works well EXCEPT maps

The app works well but the mapping section is horrible! The only reason I will keep the app is for the call information ie....addresses.
Dispatched disappear

Frequently dispatches will appear on the lock screen of my phone. When I open the app to read the dispatch, the dispatch is gone. Sometimes it shows up minutes or hours later. Other times, it never shows up. The maps are wrong many times as well. Could be a great app if it worked as it should regularly. It’s just not reliable.
Alerts

I receive the alert that there was a call but then when I open the app the call is not there. Does this quite often and other members of the department have the same issue. Seems to be a bug that needs addressed.
Notification

I want to see a update where u can change the notifications to critical so that way if u have your ringer of the active 911 still sounds
Still can’t clear the chat!

The updates have been nice and it’s a decent app but you can’t clear the chat after you have read messages. I don’t need to read messages from 10 months ago!
Great App!!!! Please add more Apple Watch support

This a a great application it has so many additional possibilities to make it even better. I would like for the next update to have more Apple Watch support like the call details to accessible to read from watch in case your phone is dead or you happen to leave it at the station.
