  • Small nit pick. Good if you wanna know what’s happening.

    I know some people don’t wanna know what KIND of “Traffic Collision” happens when it says Traffic Collision. But I wish there was a way that it could tell you WHAT happened in as little words as possible. The other day there was a “Traffic Collision” in my area. A car was stuck on a medium going into a store. No other car. It would also stop people like me (or worse than me) from trying to figure out what happened and trying to go to where it happened. It’s a good app, don’t get me wrong and I’m just nit picking a little bit.

  • Need this app in Australia

    This is a great idea, do you have plans for introducing this in other countries.
  • Finding out what’s happening right now!

    I don’t use a lot of news to find out what’s happening the next day occasionally I guess. But this app is so nice you can hear a siren in the distance, then click the app on your phone and read what is happening and the location if it happens to be a family member or someone you know you can help out. So I like the Apple lot and recommend it to lots of friends. Police scanner is nice but it Hass to be on before something happens to know what’s happening or why they’re being called out or this is just information of the situation at hand

  • Can’t get them to make it work!!!

    My county has been “down” on this app since December. They’ve continued to blame the county stating that the county updated the system and they are “waiting” to hear from the county.. county says they’ve had it fixed and ready for them for months.

    When I reached out the third or fourth time (over the course of 4 months), they replied very condescendingly then asked, “isn’t there any other location you’re interested in?”

    They don’t care that is hasn’t worked in over half of a year. I’m convinced they haven’t even tried to contact anyone in my county office to fix it based on responses from both entities.

  • Nice app, but could use one major refinement

    Over all I’m happy with the app, though I do wish I could limit notifications to a specific area. For example, I’m currently following alerts for our county first responders. However, it’s a large county and a many of the reports come from well outside the area in which I’m concerned with. It would be nice to only receive push notifications for reports within x number of miles from a set location.

  • Update idea

    The one thing that this app could do to make it better would be for it to make it easier for you to follow not only the county/dispatch, but for you to specifically get notifications for that company/department (FD/EMS). Some areas the cover multiple company’s/department’s, it would be more clear if you could see certain stations that you have selected. And it would also so stations attached to the call that the station you follow are going on and viscera.

  • Thank you!

    Pulse Point, thank you! I learned of your website through a colleague during one of our many Sonoma County wildfires. In 2020, I received an alert there was a fire in the mountains above our home. No one else had any information. But we sent out a text to all our neighbors as a “heads up”. The fire came roaring down our hillside a couple hours later but we all had time to prepare, move special belonging out of the neighborhood, and evacuate before any of us were in danger. Thank you so much!

  • Works perfectly, but I suggest...

    App works amazing but I wanna suggest some notification things like adding a radius for calls that come in. Like I’m only interested in calls that happen around my house so like a radius bubble for notifications? And maybe be able to set up notifications for an active call so we can get a notification when a trucks unit status changes? Whether this ideas are ever implemented I’ll always use the app I just think these would make it way better!

  • Safety first

    If you live in a place with fires, are a first responder or rescuer, or live in a community, you need this app! With the customizable notifications, you will be first to know about water rescues, vegetation fires, traffic accidents and much more. Some agencies let you hear their radio traffic so you can hear if a fire in your neighborhood is getting out of control and you need to leave to save your life. It has saved mine. Check it out.

  • Attention Developers:

    This is a great app just a few things that could be fixed. I think that there should be a tab showing all units in a departments and weather they are in or out of service and units that departments dont want to show could be whitelisted like the calls. And another thing is accounts where you can set up more custom call notifications and ring tones. Otherwise its a great app and i love it!!!
