User reviews

App closing its doors

One star for leaving emergency responders alone and behind, suddenly and with little notice. Forcing entire departments to identify a new system, migrate all the users, and pay more for less features from one of the very few competitors.

Another useful app ruined after being bought out by a bigger company (ESO). Nothing like capitalism at its best, lining the pockets of its new owners and leaving the little guys without service. I want off this ride, this is exhausting.

10/10 like the app

I been on my Fire Department since 2021 and the rover app is great to see what hydrates or whoever is responding. Yes we all have some type of issues with the app but it’s oh ok. Overall I think it’s a great app as for us firefighters.

Needs an update / Notes

Great idea and integration with CAD. Though, it’s buggy and needs some UI adjustments and an overall polishing. No update in over a year - where’s the attention ESO? Notes or in this case the “narrative” should be entered top (most recent) down. I shouldn’t have to scroll all the way to the bottom to see the newest note. I’d also love to see a version/ mode built especially for in vehicle use ie: better tracking and have the new notes make a noise etc. Needs a DND (do not disturb) button in app toggle. Only need it on during certain times and is annoying to have to go into settings. Should show all active calls on homepage not just the most recent. Times also buggy and do update live while viewing.

Volume

The volume of the alarms are extremely loud to the point of being startling. I can’t find any way of turning them down. You can’t silence the alarms without going into the app and disabling them. Then when you’re on call you have to turn them back on.
