What's New in 911 Dispatch

3.6

June 12, 2026

This update is all about feel. We've added haptic feedback throughout the app — every tap, swipe, and button press now responds with the right amount of physical feedback, making 911 Dispatch feel more responsive and native than ever. We've also cleaned up the Favorites experience — stations now play instantly with no extra steps in the way. Plus the usual under-the-hood fixes to keep things running smoothly.

Locations listed in radioreference.com are NOT supported.

App advertising promises support for a list of locations that it DOES NOT actually have access to. Refund?
