### 1/5 — Crap. Rubbish. No organization.

*2020-07-02*

Called San Antonio? Why? No incidents from San Antonio ,,,jus shows incidents only from Redding Ca. BORING. Terrible app. My guess is someone was smoking crack and accidentally posted this APP after an all night bender. Get bent.

### 1/5 — Not working

*2019-10-26*

App is still down and totally useless

### 1/5 — Events

*2019-01-17*

Houston is the only Texas city listed.  I live in San Antonio!!

### 1/5 — Not working

*2018-08-17*

### 1/5 — Needs update

### 5/5 — Love love love !!!!!!!!

*2013-06-05*

I live next to a Firestation and this app is right on with the stations dispatch so glad it is back up and running

### 3/5 — Could be a lot better

*2012-08-27*

Very nice knowing where the accidents and emergency dispatches are in the city, but, it's not very detailed in the description of the emergency and sometimes not up to date (ex. Still reporting an accident hours after its been cleared and cleaned up).

### 1/5 — No Sound

*2012-06-09*

I was delighted to find this app for the San Antonio area. Unfortunately it has no sound... not sure what all the reference to "listening" is when there is only a list and map for San Antonio. SO SAD :(

### 1/5 — Very very slow

*2012-05-28*

And doesn't even have the SAPD radio on it. Dumb app.
