Make Adjustments

This app could be so much better with the adjustment of some of the program features.

Instead of the officer needing to be assigned to a specific group by a coordinator, the program should be designed to be seen by all when a job is created and posted. Specifically, anyone within that jobs demographic location/region should be able to see the available posting. With the option to limit who can see the postings.

This was a feature that was utilized on a similar app (we’ll just refer to as Roll Call Tek). Since Protos acquired both, then they should get with the developers and model this after that or make some minor changes. Definitely for the better.

From a coordinator’s perspective this current app, isn’t it.

With the other one, it gave the coordinator so much more admin access that could make things much more efficient. Modifying shifts, adjusting times, pay, assigning shifts etc.

It also helped staffed an open shift faster and in return that benefits the client. The client is the main objective that we want to take care of.

Job posting don’t send notifications

I have my settings to allow notifications in the app and on my phone. When a new job is posted there is no push notification. If you are looking for a job you just have to keep opening the app every 30 minutes to see if anything has been posted. Once I have been selected for a job I get push notifications about being assigned, unassigned, shift starts in two hours, etc. but the posting of a new job isn’t pushed out.

To fix alert issues, check your iPhone Settings > Notifications > Protos Select and ensure notifications are enabled. Also, in the app, go to the hamburger menu > Settings, and toggle desired notifications to purple. If you are still experiencing issue with receiving notifications, please reach out to us at product@protossecurity.com.

Unprofessionalism by support Team/ Notifications

This has been one of the worst customer service experiences I’ve had with a law enforcement app. Whenever I call to check the status of an invoice, the representatives sound irritated—literally taking deep breaths as if they don’t want to assist. It’s extremely unprofessional and frustrating.

On top of that, I’ve missed job opportunities because there’s no alert or notification letting you know when something opens up. And the payment process is not what they advertise. They claim payment takes 24–48 hours, but mine took almost five days! Completely unacceptable.

Apps like RK at least give you the option to cash out after your job is done. With this one, I’m honestly afraid to even reach out at this point.Something needs to change!

Response from developer

We’re sorry for your experience—this is not the standard Protos aims to provide. Payments may take 3–5 business days due to banking timelines, and we’re working to improve earnings visibility. Please ensure app notifications are enabled to receive job alerts. If issues continue, contact product@protossecurity.com for support.

Garbage non functional

Took forever to get registered. Support was barely of assistance. Still not a single job posting shows available even nationwide.

Notifications Need work

Sometimes I don’t get a notification when I am actively on my phone, only to see later a job came in when I was on my phone, and of course the job will have been taken by I see the notification 10 minutes later. Sometimes I don’t get a sound played at all, when I’m away from the phone so if I don’t see it come in I’ll miss a job. These mistakes are literally loosing me money. Please also add the option for custom notification sounds so I can distinguish this app from others.

Not the best app at all.

Shifts are taken within milliseconds. I don’t understand how that’s even possible. Notifications come in after the job has already been taken. Protos should really do something about this.

Response from developer

Thanks for your feedback. To clarify, shifts are first-come, first-served. We’re actively improving the mobile experience to make claiming shifts easier and more consistent. If issues persist, please reach out to us at product@protossecurity.com so we can investigate and help directly.

Poor

This app has not worked since it was rolled out. Seconds count when you are trying to get a job. This app has to log you back in, when you are lucky to even get a notification. While you are waiting, the jobs are gone. Seems no one wants to fix all the issues this app has. Ongoing problems since tha app was rolled out.

No Notifications

I’m unsure why I am not able to receive any posting alerts. I deleted the app to re-download and now the banner alerts don’t even show up anymore. The old system was much better!!

As of 9/15/24, I wanted to update this review. I was contacted by a product manager to discuss the issues. Since then there has been resolutions to all my concerns. If you have any questions or concerns I’m sure you will receive the same courtesy. Thanks for the efforts!

New job notification , no sound?

Is there a way to add a sound to the new job notification? I’ve checked everything on my iPhone and settings referring to sound notifications. I will get a banner notification but no sound, which causes me to miss possible jobs

Trash

Not sure why the company decided to move to this app but it’s absolutely horrendous.

Can’t work if I don’t receive notifications

NO NOTIFICATIONS. All is turned to ON. App does not tell me when assignments pop.

App issues

If you don't use the app for a few minutes, it kicks you out, and you have to sign back in. Also, once you are logged out, you don't get push notifications for available job postings.

Log in

This app should only allow for one device to be logged into the system. There are people that have additional phones and spouse and family with the app. They have the greatest advantage taking jobs before others get the opportunity. Hopefully you guys look into this practice.

Needs improvement

Needs to not sign in everytime app is opened. Needs to have notifications for each and every individual job that pops up.
