New update

Bryx is an overall great app, the most resent update however is a prime example of “it’s not broke don’t fix it.” The layout and usability, took a bit of a turn for the worse. Will continue to use it because there’s no alternative, but wish I never updated it. This step backwards is the only reason I’m giving 3 stars instead of 5.

Update

I’ve been using Bryx Mobile over a couple years now this really is great app Everything was working fine until this new update. My phone used to be on silent and the critical mode will go through now my phone is still on silent and the critical messages don’t go through and sometimes my phone is not on silent. I still get a delay for getting the call couple months ago I was working fine. I had no problem with this app until the update. I don’t know what you guys did with it, but I would appreciate you guys fixing that this was one of the number one apps to use in the Fire and EMS world and I don’t wanna lose that support that you guys had through the years.

Latest update

This latest update is not user friendly it is hard to navigate and difficult to see units please go back to the old platform

**Update**Recent update terrible

**Update**
They fixed the maps issue, now you can choose your own app for navigation. Thanks!
Having to go into settings to pick your rig is still a pain. Would be nice to have it back somewhere on the home page

The most recent update moved all the notifications for rigs even deeper into the system. Half of the rigs aren’t even listed under the filters. Have to go into settings to see all of them to choose which rig you want notifications for. For departments where you move around each shift so you change notifications for rigs often this update is a pain!

Additionally, they have removed the ability to change which mapping app to use for routing. Now forced to use the garbage Apple Maps app.
