Alright App However New Update Needs Improvements

Since my last review I’ve gotten a pager from my brigade as the notification system on activ is far too unreliable (at least for my phone). In terms of the new update, when I press on the date to select multi and or single shift strike team it has the animation but then remains unselected. Sometimes you need to press it hard a number of times. When I first put a whole week as available only around 2-3/7 days had actually be selected. Even if I press hard and slowly it often doesn’t get selected. Apart from that there no issues.

Acknowledgments do not work with Apple Watch

For the most part a decent app
Some issues:
- Acknowledgments do not work with Apple Watch
- Would be great with refreshes on the list view, with map data or description changes the list view has to be pulled down to refresh
- include member number somewhere

Dev Team

I’m not sure if the people working on this app are actually testing it, but I can tell you that my iPhone 8 wouldn’t download the newest update. I had to delete and reinstall the app then go through all of the setup procedures only to find bugs still (the date & time in the events closes itself while trying to edit). I think this app would be really beneficial if it works correctly.
