App notification does not play correct sound
I give the app 5 stars as it is really useful when the pager is out of range BUT the latest update now does not sound the correct app notification sound. Instead of the sound chosen within the app it now sounds like a regular text
EDispatches went to hell in a hand basket
The original version of EDispatches was a paragon of reliability. It made for great supplements to pagers.
The latest versions since their full revamp have wreaked havoc on our response capabilities. One major problem is the audio playback doesn't appear often, so we don't know what we're responding to. Delayed transmissions, and false/late pages have also been issues. I sincerely hope they can fix these issues soon, and return to their former glory.
When life and death responses rely on EDispatches, they really need to live up to their promises, and focus on reliability, not features.

Notifications are not working
Please help!! After updating to iOS 8 I am unable to receive notifications on my iPhone. I have checked under notifications and it is not listing edispatch for me to even turn it on. I have deleted the application on multiple occasions to see if it fixes the issue but it still doesn't show edispatch under settings/notifications. I checked the app and all the settings and alerts are set correctly with not blackouts. Please help or send out an update.

Update Messed Up
The update messed up the ease of use for me. When a notification popped up I could just slide my finger over it and it would open the app and play the message. Now in the updated version I get the notification, swipe it, and it opens for about 2 second and closes again. I must manually open the app to listen. Being able to listen longer then 30 seconds would be great too. Sometimes the dispatchers get flustered and need more time thus so do I. If these problems were fixed I'd give it a 4 or 5! Now it's like a 2.

Great update
I got the update to work when it was first released and it's an amazing update from the last version. Unfortunately edispatches is having server issues and is working to resolve the problem. I saw on their website they are rolling back to the last version till the problem gets fixed. Can't wait for this one to work again.

Login failed
My app did work fine till this update now I get login failed and unable to use it
Good app
This application has its downfalls but overall, in my opinion, it is a good app. Everyone who complains about missing calls because of the app that is your fault, in the disclaimer it states that edispatches should NOT be used as a primary means of notification. In other words, carry a pager. There are several things that have to occur for the system to record your dispatch, and many people complain about the voice quality, we had that problem because our scanner that we had hooked up to the system was at our chiefs house far away from our repeater so we brought it into town and turned up the volume and it works like a champ. If you don't like the app then just uninstall it and rely on the text notifications.... Or CARRY A PAGER like every other volley in the country.

Great App
Just like a pager.. Except mine is like a 30 second delay from my pager to the text on my phone. Works great
