Ratings and Reviews
Great App But...
I've had this App installed for about a year, and have been happy with it from the start. Admittedly, there was a problem for a time with mapping, but it didn't detract that much for me and I like the pop-up bulletins that notify you of new incidents. My understanding is that the latest update has fixed the mapping issue so that's great.
All that to the good, I find the in-App advertising for "New Game" to be more intrusive than I'm willing to put up with. It isn't stationary, it constantly moves left and right to draw your eye, and unfortunately, even if you select it and follow the link to view the "new game," when you return to the App, the ad is still there. To be quite clear, it doesn't obstruct viewing or using the App, but I find it hugely annoying. It must be on a timer, because it did eventually go away, but not before I decided that the usefulness of this App was overshadowed by the aggravation of the distracting advertising.
I'd be happy to pay $1 for this App if doing so would eliminate the advertising, but I'm not willing to continue to use it as it is currently configured. Don't overlook it because of my comments though, load it and make your own decision.
Real time communications a ++++++
Version 1.4 seems to be working like a gem and unlike similar available apps, the radio feed to my knowledge is not queued it’s actually real-time communications which is what’s turned me off those other apps fa shizzle
Fixed!
App works great again- seems better than ever. I wrote a less than positive review a while back, then the developer contacted me to let me know of the fix. Really appreciated. I’m a big fan again!
