Does not always alert you – ActiveAlert Review

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.
