TOO LOUD!!!!!!! – PagerDuty Review

If I could rate this app ZERO stars I would. From a basic functionality perspective it works, however, it has one HUGE flaw. It’s too loud. The volume of the alert is not configurable and also still audibly notifies when you phone is on silent. It is undoubtedly the most aggravating and aggressive alert sound ever imagined, and what’s more it rings out at what feels like 1000 dbs... ALWAYS. My wife and children do not need to be jolted out of a sound sleep, yet they are, whenever I get a late night escalation. Mind you we are not all in the same room, the kids have their own bedrooms down the hall. That is how obnoxiously loud these alerts are. I could only imagine how much my neighbors would hate me if I lived in an apartment instead of a single family home out in the suburbs. Unless you are actually dead and are trying to be shocked back to life I would recommend never downloading this horrible app. And, just to be clear, PagerDuty knows this is a problem for people. There are many threads on their message boards and they continue to do nothing. STAY AWAY!!
