### 3/5 — App Stopped Working

*2025-06-20*

I love this app - when it’s working.
The app works for a while then stops and gives an “error loading dispatch log.” After several attempts to delete the app and reinstall it, it still will not work. There are no tools to use to try and fix the issue and no way to contact the developer other then writing this review in hopes I can find out if the problem is.

### 3/5 — Issues

*2025-05-08*

For past 2 weeks I don’t get any of the dispatches but I can pick up the communication once I open the app. Please advise.

### 5/5 — iPhone 16plus

*2025-04-16*

Since I got my new iPhone 16 I get alerts for a few days and then it seems to crash then it comes back on and crashes again. I found issues other then this app I think it might be a issue with the 16 but wanted to see if you anyone else was having issues or if there will be a new update to km911 app

### 1/5 — No data

*2025-02-15, version 1.39*

I am not receiving any data on my alert log tab and I have every monitored station checked.

### 2/5 — Dispatch lags

*2025-02-12, version 1.39*

A lot of the dispatching still not showing up. Currently a working fire palmyra Bourgh and it’s not alerting.

### 1/5 — Why

*2025-01-11, version 1.39*

Why ain’t the app working any more

### 2/5 — KM 911 Alert not working

*2024-11-01, version 1.39*

I set my stations and I am not receiving alerts

### 4/5 — Great app that could be better

*2024-10-23*

4 stars because alerts disappear after a short period. I see the notifications then when I go to the app it’s blank. Let the user clear the alerts in the app, don’t delete them after an amount of time goes by.

### 1/5 — App Stopped Working

*2024-07-09*

The app was working fine then all of a sudden stopped working and gives an error loading dispatch log. After several attempts to delete the app and reinstall it, it still will not work. There are no tools to use to try and fix the issue and no way to contact the developer other then writing this review in hopes I can find out if the problem is on my end or the app end. It’s a shame because I really love KM-911 Alert when it was functioning.

### 3/5 — Great when it works

*2024-04-14*

Great app but it doesn’t display anything under the dispatch log, just an error message. It’s very hit or miss. The app also doesn’t scale properly on my iPhone 13, with black bars at the top and bottom. In dark mode, the tabs at the bottom are illegible because they stay dark.
