Would be perfect for a Apple Watch app so that could get notifications on my watch face as they happened. Maybe one day. ### 4/5 — Really great *2016-06-17, version 1.0* Great app but I can't seem to subscribe to it.... Apart from that it really helpful when our boats launched because I know if my dad will be there or not😀 ### 4/5 — Helpful but needs updating *2016-06-16, version 1.0* Very good app to keep up to date with the launches, would be better with info about each launch like boat numbers and type of service eg towed vessel, missing child, MOB ect. and info on each individual station Hunstanton boat and hovercraft crew member ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 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 ### 1/5 — Great idea *2016-06-19, version 1.0* Great idea been waiting for something like this for ages but can't subscribe. Please fix and up date ### 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. ### 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. ### 3/5 — not bad *2017-11-21, version 1.3* it would be better if the notifacations were on time rather than "30 minutes later" and if they told you what has happened but apart from that its not bad just annoying its delayed to by 30 minutes to tell you :( ### 4/5 — Good app *2018-12-11, version 1.4* Really good app. Would give 5 stars if you could select a tone for the notification ### 4/5 — Good *2017-08-27, version 1.3* Could be better with extra info on launch. Apart from that it is good ## Most praised reviews (9 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — good app *2025-08-19, version 1.6* let’s you know a fair few minutes late but tells you the exact time they were paged. great app👍 ### 5/5 — Question to developer *2025-01-15, version 1.6* Love the app, this is a question to developer: is there any chance of adding widgets, on iPhone I would love to see station launches from my Lock Screen for example. I think they would be a great addition to a already brilliant app ### 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…. ### 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. ### 5/5 — Keeps lagging out *2018-09-26, version 1.4* Really great app! Downloaded recently and it worked the first time I opened it and subscribed but as I went back on it, it will stay open for a few seconds before exiting back to the home page. Other than that it’s an amazing app that lets you feel a bit more aware of what the RNLI do, would be great to get it fixed though. ### 5/5 — Fantastic app *2018-06-17, version 1.4* Dan, thanks for writing this app. I love to get updates from the lifeboat stations I follow. Such a shame RNLI delays the launch info by 30 mins :( - but realise there is nothing you can do about that. ### 5/5 — Great app *2018-05-16, version 1.4* I can't understand why some people are having problems subscribing. It's so easy to do. Just go to the 'subscribe to notifications' page and tap the names of the stations you want to subscribe to. A tick appears by your selected stations and the 'subscribed stations' increments accordingly. Simple. Brilliant app. And it's free too ! ### 5/5 — Great app *2018-05-04, version 1.4* Great app, works well. I have ten Lifeboats in the county where I live. So is good to know when they are out. ### 5/5 — Notifications now working *2016-09-18, version 1.3* The app is great, simple and allows me to see all the launches (or at least the pagers) for my local stations. Hope the RNLI continue to share this information, and possibly more (such as boat type etc) so we can see more about how the RNLI protect our coastlines! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
