SAS 12+

I have found that the VicEmergency App alerts first, followed by SAS and then the Pager.

Have had been logged out a few times without knowing it. Wouldn’t solely rely on it.

Would be handy if it was available on Apple Watch, particularly for using directions to an incident.

The app has the potential to be great but unfortunately falls short in most areas, with most of the features feeling like they got started but never finished off properly.

It seems like the developers searched through BART for all the great/user friendly features and then said ‘we won’t be using these’.

Undoubtably the worst feature is the availability. It is tediously difficult to set, read and understand and then once you have invested the extraordinary amount of time for what should be a simple task, the only person that can see it is yourself. Why would I need to see my own availability, I already know it? The two biggest reasons for having a ‘S.A.S.’ Is for those without pagers and to know your brigades availability to make decisions around taking time off, predicting crewing availability and to see who will be attending each job. Unless you’re admin and prepared to constantly download a report as people update their availability, the feature is useless, except for the seeing who’s attending portion.

The general layout and look is quite good but given that it’s a phone, you want to be able to click attending before driving so being able to do from the pager screen without clicking right into each job would be better. Also, iPhone needs to add the critical alerts feature.

App works great going off on average 18 seconds before the pager but one day went off 2 minutes before the pager was enough time to already be at the station.

Only down fall is the sounds are not great. We need louder sounds that will wake you like BART had, incase the pager is flat which happened to me. I would have given 5 stars but because of the sound issues I can only give 4. Hope to see more sounds added sooner rather than later.
