  • Needs help

    Needs a feature to filter incidents to "near by" or let you pick a custom radius around your location.
    Like 25km,50km,100km ect.

    The list is FULL of incidents that are 300-800km away from me, I honestly don't care to see them. I want to see what's local to me, not the entire province.
  • My agency was taken off pulse point.

    I used pulse point all the time until my fire dept was taken off pulse point. This was a valuable resource to many of my colleagues. It’s unfortunate it was removed.
  • Canada?

    Lacks enough information for Canadian cities.
  • No major Canadian cities

    It only displays data for US cities, therefore it does not cover North America.
  • More info

    Wish there were more local members
  • No metronome

    The app CPR metronome does not work. Support for the app was not helpful.
  • Changed to require location

    Edit: The dev reached out and indeed you don’t need to allow location. The app does spam a couple pop-ups saying “Location Required - Pulse Point needs access to your location for this feature. Please update your app settings under the “Privacy” menu.” This is on the feed page which also says I’m not subscribed to any feeds, even though I am. You have to select the pull down menu towards the top-center to select the subscribed feeds. It is confusing and I don’t recall having to do this before. Anyway it works, but minus one star for the extra step and misleading message.

    Used this app almost daily but now I have to delete it. They went from letting you put in your chosen location and following the relevant agencies to demanding you always let them know your location. There’s no reason to make that setting mandatory to use the basic functions except for data gathering. I get that some people want notifications, but not everyone wants to hand over personal information to a faceless corp. It’s a shame they decided to do this. Hope they make a way to allow for more privacy in the future.

  • Winnipeg

    Fire service is no longer using this app.
  • Bring Pulse Point Back

    I found pulse point very helpful in helping and assisting the public with medical emergencies not only while at work but also when off work.
  • Please bring back Pulse Point

    I have used pulse point multiple times for CPR and medical emergencies, without pulse point I am not able to help those in need when I’m off work or at work. I work as a first responder and found pulse point incredibly helpful.
