The Spotted Dog Technologies ROVER system is a cloud hosted services (Fire / Police / EMS) software system that give first responders access to 911 and local dispatch information. This information can then be used to make data based decisions for apparatus staffing and response patterns.
Firstly, a few things that drive me nuts. Mapping feature does not actually register an address. Every time I click the map, it drops a pin on Antigua. The selectable tone feature only works ONCE when you initially set up the app, after that the tone you selected is it until you delete and reinstall. The pop up box when a call drops blocks the call information. If you're fire and it's an EMS call, how can you choose properly without closing the pop up and clicking the bottom menu? The bottom menu is buggy, works sometimes. For a tech company, this is borderline Busch League.
Downloaded on my iPad and it doesn't work. I then tried it on my iPhone 5 ... I was able to view a map of my local area until I navigated with difficulty to a settings menu. It asked to input a phone number, which I did, and then I could not navigate from that menu. This has the potential to be a decent application, but way too many bugs.
Used to work great. Only about 3/10 calls come through now. Completely unreliable.
As an Asst. Fire Chief this app helps me know who is going to be there and also information on hydrants and pre-plans say nothing about location with mapping, type of call and the ability to message the whole department easily.
Old version was a lot better, can't see map now unless phone is turned sideways, a lot more complicated on the move
I can appreciate the updates attempted here but the reality is that the UI on a mobile phone is too much. Trying to figure out which view and buttons to select when your are responding to an emergency creates more havoc. For a tablet view in the truck the updates are reasonable. I do like the change made to accessing the pre plans.
Horrible!! Constantly locks on Setup screen. You open the app and there you sit frozen in Setup. When it does work my page doesn't resemble what you see in the App Store.
We were searching for an application that would suite the needs for a volunteer fire department and every day usage. This application exceeds our expectations with the endless abilities to completely customize for our daily usage. Customizable features such as display use and look to complete designing of forms and checklists such as apparatus check sheets, rosters, fuel cards, etc. I definitely recommend this resource to any Emergency Services Organization.
