Slip into the shoes of a 911 dispatcher and save your cities population by sending out the relevant emergency vehicles for the mission you receive. Your first stations will come with staffing and one (1) unit. If you improve your building, you can buy more vehicles and recruit more staff. Having more vehicles will advance your missions to bigger and better ones. Having more buildings will give you more possible missions to receive. Successful missions earn you money and experience points. This allows you to invest in new equipment (buildings, cars, trucks, etc …) and grow your player level. Good luck!!!

Every second counts! From the board game by Smirk & Dagger Games: “Squad 34, Rescue 53… Man pinned by car, corner of Oak and Main, Time Out 14:32” Get to your rig - this is gonna be one helluva shift. Be quick to sustain and stabilize patients and rush them to the hospital. Manage your resources and upgrade your ambulance to save as many lives as possible. You only have seconds to act and the clock is against you. Try not to lose any today, rookie. “Rescue squad - confirm and depart.”

The call

The clearest difference is rating: PARAMEDICS at 4.4 against Dial's 3.3. PARAMEDICS also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 10) and iOS requirement (7.0 vs 15.0). Dial's advantage is review sentiment (43% vs 25%) and ratings volume (23 vs 7). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

PARAMEDICS holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 3.3. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 23 and 7 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 43% of Dial's written reviews are positive against 25% of PARAMEDICS's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
