Ratings and Reviews
Good
There are a lot of specific options that are selectable which is awesome. Notification are quick and to the point. The two things that keep it from a 5 star rating for me is how difficult it is to change settings, needing to remember your unique log in and logging in to a web browser. Also, I love the feature of getting notified when anywhere in the country goes over a 3rd alarm, however I would love the option to unfollow or mute notifications from an incident. The whole reason I’m writing this review now is because to the 100th time there is an incident in NJ that someone keeps posting useless photos of. Every 30 seconds I’m getting a notification of new media posted and it’s just a picture of a plume of smoke a mile away
iPhone 10 Not Supported...
App has not had a lot of updates in awhile. Some things I would like to see:
Multiple devices using same account
Latest iPhone support (iPhone X+)
Ability to change subscription areas on fly
Better searching of past incidents
Why is Chat greyed Out?
I personally get weather from other apps. I don’t want weather here too.
UI remains old and antiquated. Update it.
All about who you know
The app and the basis behind it is quite a great idea. Unfortunately, the app is incredibly overpriced for what it is. I would submit multiple events and they were never shared. One would finally show up an hour later and was credited to another user. I truly believe it’s all about who’s friends with who is running the office. Some emergency service departments get ALL of their basic calls shared. Others NEVER are seen. Just not a even smooth playing ground. Was glad to cancel the app. Worth the refund.
