NO IN-APP PURCHASES

Great app! Only bad thing is that for the most important part of the app ( sending fire calls) cost money. Should def make free. But other that that great app👍👍

Used to be better.

One of the main reasons we used this app was for the event planning section.
Since an update this has been removed and after several emails and being told it would be back soon, it’s still not there. Sadly this is the key feature for us and the app is no good to us without it.

Cant even get registered

Not sure if this app was abandoned or not but I cant even register. Entered my country and mobile number and it says code has been sent but not receiving any codes.

Geofencing doesn’t work

The geofencing feature was one of the main reasons our station decided to use this app and pay the premium subscription fee. Most of us have jobs that are several miles away from the station so our availability changes frequently, often several times a day.
As such, we have to manually reset our availability status several times a day and sometimes we forget, which makes the info on the app hard to rely on when a call comes in. Can you fix this please?

Not everything works still

Even with the subscription the added features don’t work. Buggy. Works a little bit better than nothing. Was hopeful that the new update would fix the geofencing and scheduled office hours. Nothing has improved functionality. Looks a bit different but still doesn’t do what it say it does.

Response from developer

Hi Jon, sorry for your bad experience with my app. I have a new version about to be released which has had large parts of the app re-written to be more stable and fix bugs. This should be available in the next 4-5 days.

Great app

Really good app with lots of great perks that our current system doesn’t have and lacks. What it needs really is while your phone is in silent mode to be able to override that to make the full sounds like your normal morning alarms.

Really good!

Really good app, user friendly, any ideas to potentially add a second notification tone to alert special appliances?? Other than that a really great app!

Great App ... but 🤓

Shame we can’t use emojis on the group chats, if someone puts a thumbs up it comes up as ‘???’ 🤨

Response from developer

Hi Katie, This should now be fixed. Thanks for reporting it. Any problems let me know but hopefully this will bump it up to 5 stars? 😉

On call firefighters

Excellent app fully recommend this if your an on-call firefighter. Keeps a tally of your hours, which is spot on!!

Response from developer

Hi Dani, I’ve listened to my users and decided to include the hourly statistics totals in the free version. It will still show the “unlock” header but I’ll remove this in the next version. The hours should show regardless. Hopefully that might be worth an extra star? 😉

Needs work for Australia

Lacks ability to set Australian Time zone.
Lacks ability to geo fence specific areas (state border) only works on a radius. Lower Sth NSW so need to disregard Victoria and other Fire area west that is covered, perhaps a Geofence working on 4 points of reference. (Polygon instead of a Radius)
No maps offline of line for the area
Crashes when offline and moving between Apps while referring to maps.
Add ons unknown but wouldn’t be paying for this or the monthly subscription
