I think they would be a great addition to a already brilliant app ### 1/5 — No longer works *2024-02-18, version 1.6* It use to work really well but isn’t anymore. You don’t get notifications when the lifeboats are being or been launched. ### 1/5 — No longer works *2023-12-10, version 1.6* This app is no longer working. Get a prompt pop up saying connection problems, server with host name can’t be found ### 2/5 — No longer working? *2023-12-08, version 1.6* Great app but currently not working. ### 3/5 — It’s a bit buggy. *2021-06-10, version 1.6* This is obviously a hobby project for the developer which is now 4 years old, so it would be unfair to expect it to be as polished as a commercial app. The couple of problems I found with it are the notifications are always something like 25minutes late, although this might be a deliberate delay by the RNLI to stop people rushing to the station to watch the launch. I also noticed that despite me only selecting a handful of stations near me, the app would randomly have a fit and start spewing out notifications for every launch in the country. I’ve just had about 5 notifications in quick succession for stations as far apart as the Thames and Poole, the others I would have to look up on a map. ### 5/5 — RNLI Pager *2021-06-09, version 1.6* A must for anyone interested in or would like to support the RNLI. It is generally reliable with up to date information on both recent and past launches coupled with ability to choose which lifeboat stations you would like to monitor. Very good app…. ### 3/5 — iPhone 11 *2019-11-02, version 1.4* Won’t load notifications on iPhone 11. Is there an update planned? Worked great on iPhone 7 ### 3/5 — iPhone compatibility *2019-10-11, version 1.4* Unfortunately doesn’t want to work on an IPhone 11. Will not load Notifications. ### 5/5 — Great app *2019-08-31, version 1.4* Great app in general, all works perfectly. But I think that you should have a different image for every lifeboat station than the same one. ## Frequently asked questions about RNLI Pager ### What is RNLI Pager?
