It hasn’t worked for several months. **Developer response:** A new version (v.1.4) was released today. This fixes the issues that you had mentioned. Sorry for the delay. We have combined our regional apps into a single app called EMS Incidents and Radio. It includes Seattle and King County. While we will continue updating Seattle Emergency Radio to mirror the combined app, first releases will come through the new version at https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/ems-incidents-and-radio/id939806758?mt=8 If you update or download the new app, let us know what you think.

Grrrrr. *2013-04-27* Wish it did. ### 2/5 — Not perfect... *2019-06-19* I just downloaded the app for mainly seeing where incidents were on a map. It’s not showing incidents in my area (Olympia,WA). Can the developers fix that? I will add that I do get the radio feed for my county and it’s easier to hear than other apps. Just no map. Let’s get it fixed guys. I would like to give it a better rating. ### 3/5 — Great App But... *2013-06-11* I've had this App installed for about a year, and have been happy with it from the start. Admittedly, there was a problem for a time with mapping, but it didn't detract that much for me and I like the pop-up bulletins that notify you of new incidents. My understanding is that the latest update has fixed the mapping issue so that's great. All that to the good, I find the in-App advertising for "New Game" to be more intrusive than I'm willing to put up with. It isn't stationary, it constantly moves left and right to draw your eye, and unfortunately, even if you select it and follow the link to view the "new game," when you return to the App, the ad is still there. To be quite clear, it doesn't obstruct viewing or using the App, but I find it hugely annoying. It must be on a timer, because it did eventually go away, but not before I decided that the usefulness of this App was overshadowed by the aggravation of the distracting advertising. I'd be happy to pay $1 for this App if doing so would eliminate the advertising, but I'm not willing to continue to use it as it is currently configured. Don't overlook it because of my comments though, load it and make your own decision. ### 4/5 — Stopped working *2013-09-13* Was working great now map function stopped. Says "no reported incidents". ### 4/5 — Good *2013-04-14* I liked it but for the last couple of wks it don't show any incidents when there are please fix it ### 4/5 — Great but DOESN'T WORK LATELY *2013-03-12* This app is great, and I've used it for the better part of the year to follow live emergency events in Seattle. Over the past few days, however, the gap has said that there are no current incidents, when there actually are. Please fix this! ### 5/5 — Real time communications a ++++++ *2023-11-18* Version 1.4 seems to be working like a gem and unlike similar available apps, the radio feed to my knowledge is not queued it’s actually real-time communications which is what’s turned me off those other apps fa shizzle ### 5/5 — Fixed! *2018-02-03* App works great again- seems better than ever. I wrote a less than positive review a while back, then the developer contacted me to let me know of the fix. Really appreciated. I’m a big fan again! **Developer response:** We have released an all new version that has a new more intuitive interface. I hope that you will update to this version (v.1.4). If you like what you see - let us know or update your review.

And now I can take it with me! This is great! Love the added map too so I don't have to go online for the fire dept as well. I'm a happy gal! ## Most praised reviews (1 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Works Great! *2012-07-31* Works great for Seattle, wish it would cover all of King County though. But I enjoy hearing sirens go by my house and being able to look on the map and see where they're going. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
