## What is MobileFRG (Field Responder Guide)?

The MobileFRG (Field Responder Guide) app from Priority Dispatch assists response crews to easily interpret the exact clinical or situational meaning of a response code transmitted from the dispatch center, using the Emergency Priority Dispatch Systems®, to their unit and puts it in one place:  your mobile phone.  Instead of guessing, or trying to flip pages when dispatch transmits a “15-D-2E” determinant descriptor code over the radio, the focused responder can simply touch key the code into the app (three taps only) and view the full code.  
The app can run one, two, or all three of the IAED’s medical, fire, or police protocols.

## Key features

- Interpret dispatch codes
- View clinical/situational meaning
- Supports medical protocols
- Supports fire protocols
- Supports police protocols
- Quick code lookup

### 1/5 — Can’t Activate

*2024-12-17, version 1.1*

The app is missing the activate button.

### 1/5 — Waste of Time

*2022-04-12, version 1.1*

Downloaded the app. Requires some sort of activation code or license. Does not offer any clues as to how to acquire said license or code.

### 1/5 — License required

*2021-11-29, version 1.1*

This app may be valuable for EMTs and such whose agencies have a license, but to a scanner buff or such looking to translate what a 15-D-1 fire dispatch means, this app is not for us. Priority Dispatch requires that you enter license information before it will show you this information. They won’t even sell you their printed pocket guide. I can understand wanting to protect the dispatch coding process which is based on a lot of research, but not allowing people to see what the codes even mean is not in the public interest, and renders this app useless for anyone without an agency subscription. (Accepting the license shown also grants them permission to visit your premises and inspect your usage!)

### 1/5 — Awful interface

*2020-01-11, version 1.1*

This interface is garbage and gives much less information than the flip books did. Plus, you have to keep clicking other codes to see if there would have been a more appropriate selection. 

This is a huge step backwards for EMD and field personnel feedback.

### 1/5 — Waste of time

*2017-11-08, version 1.1*

It’s not free, you need your centers license to access the info.

### 5/5 — Good app

*2017-07-16, version 1.1*

The application does as promised.

### 5/5 — App

*2017-02-01, version 1.1*

Very nice

### 5/5 — Excellent App

*2016-07-06, version 1.1*

Fast and easy to use.

### 5/5 — Great app

*2016-04-05, version 1.1*

This app is quick and easy to use.  Great for field work.

### 5/5 — ALS EMT

*2016-02-20, version 1.1*

Great app, love availability to info when in field.
