## What is FireServiceRota V3?

Easily manage your availability anywhere, any time. Prevent crewing deficiencies by providing 24/7 insight into on-duty crew. Flexibly provide coverage to one or multiple fire stations.

You need a FireServiceRota account to use this app. 

With this FireServiceRota app firefighters can:
- review upcoming understaffing warnings and act on them
- change their duty schedule (availability) at one or more stations
- be notified when they are about to leave the coverage area of one station and enter another using GPS location services.
- confirm that they are mustering in case of an incident. This shows their ETA and location on the station monitor in the fire station, thereby providing extra certainty that there are sufficient people for attending the incident.

Continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life.

## Key features

- Manage availability across multiple stations
- Receive understaffing warnings
- Change duty schedules
- Location-based notifications
- Confirm mustering for incidents
- Real-time ETA and location tracking

### 2/5 — Rota

*2022-06-21, version 40.1.8*

Most of the time this app doesn’t show the shifts for the day. It will show the the 1 b4 and the 1 after but not the important 1.
If your lucky it will work. I’ve deleted it several times out of frustration. 
But I still need it for work. 
Please get someone who knows how to fix the software😡

### 2/5 — Fire Service Rota Issues

*2021-01-13, version 38.6.3*

Unfortunately this app regularly crashes and overall it isn’t user friendly. If I were to be brutally honest we’ve taken a massive step backwards purchasing this software system for the service compared to the visibility we had on our previous system!

### 4/5 — Better

*2020-11-06, version 38.5.6*

This app has been getting better and more stable, which is good. 

One feature I like is the new rota view update, under schedule > availability. One useful feature would be for the rota to tell you where you’re going, rather than saying ‘Day Crew’ or ‘Wholetime’, stipulating the exact station would make this feature even more useful. Thanks!

### 2/5 — 2 stars is possibly too generous

*2020-07-10, version 38.1.12*

Would be a good app if only it didn’t constantly crash. The information I need is clear to see however reliability issues are where it fails.
Removed and re-added twice in 2 weeks.
Also, slow to actually open any of the tabs.

### 5/5 — Does what you need it to

*2020-03-20, version 37.7.8*

Great concept that is very helpful from both a Wholetime and on-call perspective. As time goes by I’m sure it’ll evolve even further.

### 1/5 — Crashes

*2020-03-09, version 37.7.7*

Crashes when opening

### 1/5 — Awful

*2018-06-10, version 32.9.2*

Awful very basic and not very clear when trying to use app

### 1/5 — Review

*2018-05-05, version 32.9.2*

so far not that good only just opened app , was hoping it would be amazing , but disappointed atm , will keep trying
