Functional

Being on a fire department, this app has been used alot and works fine. Although I would say - yet has there been a time where the entire app functionality has been utilized. Either because there has been no need or just pure uniformed. Useful when alerting for calls and who is responding to the fire house.

Update

The new update has a glitch that causes the ringtone to automatically go back to default regardless of how many times I change it
