### 4/5 — Excellent app - need monthly subscription

*2025-07-18*

The app is excellent, however the annual subscription is a little more than it should be. Consider setting up monthly subscriptions rather than annual ones, then you will get greater take up .

**Developer response:** Thank you for the review. We have recently set up monthly subscriptions for Ember Map Pro on our latest version. We have priced this competitively to other fireground mapping applications.
