## Review summary

User reviews show a generally reliable paging/alerting app that is considered a great tool. However, frequent updates have introduced regressions—navigation issues, altered workflows, and especially tone alerts failing or being delivered as texts. A key complaint is the inability to respond within the app. Users also want enhancements like maps, on-duty/off-duty visibility, and unit tracking. The overall sentiment is positive about usefulness, but update-related reliability issues are the main concern.

### Pros

- Reliable paging/alerting that generally works well.
- Described as a great tool/system for emergency communication.
- Overall usefulness and positive sentiment about the app.

### Cons

- Update-related regressions breaking navigation and core features.
- Tone alerts not functioning after updates (often delivered as texts, not waking users).
- In-app response capability missing or not working.
- UI/navigation changes and accessibility issues introduced by updates.
