User Reviews

Users value PulsePoint Respond for the informative, situational awareness it provides and its usefulness to EMS and families. However, multiple reviews report stability problems (crashes, downtime) and unreliable or excessive notifications. Additional complaints focus on readability issues due to UI color changes and OS-update quirks with slow or missing fixes. Overall, the app's informational benefits are clear, but reliability and user experience improvements are repeatedly requested to restore trust and consistent performance.
Pros
  • Very informative application that keeps users aware of incidents in their area.
  • Useful for EMS workers and family members to track ongoing calls and see who’s responding.
  • Provides location and unit information for incidents, offering valuable situational context.
Cons
  • Frequent crashes and overall unreliability; the app often goes down or stops working for extended periods.
  • Inconsistent or excessive notifications, ranging from missed alerts to spammy alerts for a single incident.
  • UI/visual changes (e.g., white/light mode) reduce readability and contrast, leading to accessibility concerns.
  • OS update-related issues (such as not updating the current date) with little or no timely fixes.

Cannot see Falcks calls anymore, and that is the main EMS service provider in this area. So that’s disappointing. Also seeing not all calls are actually showing up for South Metro. So it’s definitely a hit or miss these days.
