Laggy, missing DND bypass, poor GPS-based timer – Rover Mobile Review

ONE STAR — Been using this since 2017 across two departments. App is fine. Just fine. As in, it gets the job done; not horrible, just far from the best. Critical issues: lags when tapping responding and half the time doesn’t show you responding + alert bypass for Do Not Disturb is missing (eDispatches has this, even iMessages too) + GPS-based timer is awful. Firefighters frequently shown 5-8 minutes away when they’re arrived in-station with me, and others never show Arrived despite leaving phone at station and they’re on the 1st due truck already. If you just want to see who’s responding - at least the random people it feels like capturing - then it’s fine. If you want a real timer for members to arrive in station, forget it. If you need to be alerted middle of the night w/ Do Not Disturb enables - forget it, you will never see a single alert.
