Continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life.

User Reviews

Chief Mobile is praised for centralizing incident data and real-time responder tracking, which improves response times and saves lives. It’s widely adopted and valued for its alerting, mapping, and messaging capabilities. However, users repeatedly report crashes, notification reliability issues, and clunky iPad UX. Feature gaps like CarPlay/smartwatch support and missing dark-mode theming are common requests. Some customers also note inconsistent support. Overall, stability and platform enhancements are the primary needs alongside continued, effective incident management features.
Pros
  • Real-time tracking of responders, incident details, directions and in-app messaging that improve emergency response.
  • Centralized access to critical information in one place, enabling quick decisions and better coordination.
  • Significant positive impact on department operations and response times; widely adopted and highly regarded.
  • Easy-to-use configuration and builder features that departments appreciate.
  • Strong overall value and regarded as one of the best alerting apps for Fire/EMS.
Cons
  • Frequent crashes and stability issues, including crashes on startup or during use.
  • Unreliable or delayed notifications and inconsistent alert behavior after updates.
  • Poor iPad UX/UI, with clunky navigation and extra taps required to view incidents.
  • Lack of CarPlay and smartwatch integration for alerts and calls.
  • Requests for dark mode/theme options and other post-update bugs/limitations.

* edit * You guys literally broke the time display in the latest update. Who’s coding this? Basic edge case. Maybe find a way to display the notes and times better because why should we suppress times automatically. Feels like two guys hobby project not a professional software company. iPad UX/UI is awful and clunky and doesn’t prioritize incident views. Requires multiple presses just to view an incident. This app needs a significant overhaul but it’s obvious the developers are providing barely any progress or roadmap. Wouldn’t recommend. App crashes daily. WTF. Good app - but I wish I could select the default for chronology of the notes. I prefer to read oldest to newest, and wish it would remember my selection. Also the font being sentence case is so bad and hard to read. It should be all caps like cad. Having to slide over for the times is ridiculous, it should be formatted better so the times are just present. Love the access to info but a lot of our users report the display of info needs work.

It would be nice to have CarPlay capability and also android capability so you don’t have to look at your phone when there’s a call coming in
