Rover Mobile 4+

Has a few bugs. Best thing about this is it shows who else is responding to a call if you happen to be away from your radio or don’t hear someone check on.

It is a very important and useful app for first responders however it is missing many useful features such as the option to mute or sleep the alarms coming from the app notification with out needing to silence or do not disturb my phone. Another useful feature would be to integrate the radio feed into the app so you can listen in to the feed from your department without needing a separate app for when your out of your district radio coverage. The biggest most important feature I can’t stress on enough is quicker response from when a call goes out as Rover has anywhere from an instant response to waiting over five minutes for the call log to show. The app fails to load when I click on a notification to load the app. You should make it easier and quicker to view a call, not needing to click on active call or whatever have you to view the call logs… time is important and you keep wasting it with these useless features and poor app response. Also having a limit for ten calls is ridiculous. My department gets more then ten calls daily and I can’t use the app to backtrack calls.
Having the app restart when I’m viewing a call and a new call comes in is unsafe and just plain rude. I’m reading a call log for an incident I should not have my screen change to a new incoming call without my do so.

GPS is spotty and fairly innacurate. That we’re on iOS 16 now and still don’t have a) widgets, b) Home Screen widgets, or c) Apple Watch complications for watch face is a surprising lack of development.

Features haven’t been added in years. Not months. Literally years. It’s a few seconds to open the app every time. No lock/code to protect the data (we use on our firetruck iPads and lock for this would be good just as TRACcess does). A Do Not Disturb bypass was the most welcome and most recent feature addition - over a year ago. Adding preplans is a pain online. Same for fire hydrants or notes for special houses (hoarding, group home, etc). The screen for “fetch” and “pin” is a nonsensical layout since day one and hasn’t changed. You’ll have more luck inserting a USB stick correctly before you figure out how to login in the first try. Overall this app is 2 of 5 stars, and that’s probably being generous. This is what happens when a big company buys a good app then lets it stagnate.
