What's New in RFS ACTIV

7.1.0

June 23, 2026

Bug fixes and performance improvements.

User reviews

Crew builder function broken.

The crew builder function is currently broken after the latest update. Once you build cruise into a vehicle the vehicle and disappears and you can no longer see it or add it unless you log onto the online website. No apparent way to report this without jumping through hoops, so I’ll just leave it here as a negative review hopefully that will get someone’s attention

Acknowledgments do not work with Apple Watch

For the most part a decent app
Some issues:
- Acknowledgments do not work with Apple Watch
- Would be great with refreshes on the list view, with map data or description changes the list view has to be pulled down to refresh
- include member number somewhere

Don’t wear headphones with this app. Ever.

Thanks for blowing my eardrums when I was listening to music with AirPods in. Music was down so low any noise drowned it out and I get blasted with an alert so loud I couldn’t hear properly for a few hours. I joined the RFS to serve the community not to go deaf.

Alright App However New Update Needs Improvements

Since my last review I’ve gotten a pager from my brigade as the notification system on activ is far too unreliable (at least for my phone). In terms of the new update, when I press on the date to select multi and or single shift strike team it has the animation but then remains unselected. Sometimes you need to press it hard a number of times. When I first put a whole week as available only around 2-3/7 days had actually be selected. Even if I press hard and slowly it often doesn’t get selected. Apart from that there no issues.
