Great App
Tim_S_L
The app works great. There are some errors in the mapping system that we occasionally come across. Also one thing that needs to be changed is that the sound/alert won’t work when iPhone is connected to an Apple Watch. It will only sound when Apple Watch notifications are turned off. Fix that so phone will sound AND push notification to watch and 5 star review.
Erasing Alerts

I’ve had this app for several years and am subscribed to multiple agencies. I always find myself having to erase the same call multiple times. And sometimes the calls even show back up hours or even a day after I erased it? Any ideas why this may be happening? I’ve have an iPhone 10
Update made Worse!!!

Won’t take to google maps!! Just takes to Apple Maps and not even right address!!! Put it back
Solid app, wish vibrate customization available

The app is pretty solid and well made, however, it has the same vibration pattern as many other notifications so when my phones on silent, I don’t know if I’m getting a call notification to some other message. I know you can customize the vibration on Android, so why is it unavailable for Apple?
Does not always alert you

It’s great that we are able to use technology to quickly get responders to where help is needed, but there are a few things that you should be aware of. 1. When you have Do Not Disturbe turned on the app will not alert you to calls. It has a setting to override that, but it does not work. 2. If you belong to 2 departments you have the option to pick a different ringtone for each department, but it will always play the 1st departments ringtone, even for the 2nd department’s calls. 3. Clicking on the responding does not always work. Sometimes you’ll need to click the “Resp” button several times before it sticks. 4. You don’t have the ability to change your own name. 5. Getting directions to your call is not always accurate. 3rd party Maps need to be improved in some areas. Also clicking the “directions” button on the map will give you step-by-step text you’ll need to read, rather than actual GPS assisted navigational help. 6. Alerts do not display correctly on the Apple Watch if you belong to 2 departments.
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.
I like it been using the app for a while

Please please make it possible for us to activate silence override and continuous repaging at the same time!!!!!
I love it.

As a volunteer firefighter in a small town the app itself has absolutely no down falls. It syncs perfectly with our current 911 center. Only issue that isn’t app related is our center is in desperate need of an update and pings most calls to near cell towers and the dispatcher has to manually activate the alert by entering the cad and completing it which is usually about 30 seconds to a minute slower than the pager tones. But that’s not the apps fault it’s just our systems. Great for when I’m at work and can’t wear my pager. Absolutely love the override silent feature. Can’t wait for when it and continuous repaging is available to be used together.
Amazing app

Great app overall, my department uses it in conjunction with our pagers. A function to add your own custom ringtones would be nice. I remade and uploaded my companies tones to my iPhone and was hoping to be able to use that with the app. Otherwise, absolutely brilliant app.
Great app, but I’d like to see

An auto response. My department uses the app to see who is available. When off duty, if I’m available all day, I’d like to be able to have it set to auto respond with the available/responding/unavailable tab clicked. It would be a small change that I think would be useful for smaller departments.
