Now I know why this app has such awful reviews. Was forced to get it for work. It constantly tries to send the app to any and every nearby device via Apple Airplay even though I have disabled all of the settings in the app and on my phone that I can find. It is the only app on my phone that does this automatically and constantly every time I lock the screen. That on top of all of the other issues well documented by other users.

Can’t even get signed in it’s saying no wifi. The old app was better.

This app is so much worse than the first one. We use this for our fire department. Why would you have it disconnect when it doesn’t have Wi-Fi. I don’t need a scanner around Wi-Fi I have one that plugs into the wall for that. Also now I can’t even sign in. Keep saying password incorrect but it won’t give me the line to put the password in. The old one way nice. It ran in the background and didn’t have to worry about missing anything. Please fix this or bring back the old one. This is junk!
