Ratings and reviews

This app has essentially stopped working properly via Android. I don't get notifications most of the time. If I do, I have to flick between quick view and live to access the turnout. The water maps are not anchored in the correct space - so if you need to know where the water point is properly, you will need to zoom in 100%. May seem like a small issue, but it's the difference between looking on the correct side of the road or not during a structure fire.

App has started changing the volume on Android OS randomly. Missed a level 3 call for BA operators the other night. Unacceptable. Updated everything, running the latest version. Approx 8 hours after checking it was working its gone back down. Was reliable, now its not. Recommending people carry their pagers over bart now until either I get told what i'm doing wrong (used for over a year now) or its fixed. Not cool

Overall very happy. One small issue with notifications on Android 10 - The BART notifications are overridden by the standard system notification tone. I completed a restore notifications function & every other app was fixed, except this one. Please look into this as it is a significant flaw, especially if you dont have your page on you.
