Pretty good, slick interface and a lot of nice features for SAR One really big, really simple improvement they need to make is to cache the incident logs locally. Very often I lose data service or have to turn the phone off and in turn lose the incident and chat log, meaning I can't look up changes in situation, location, etc. Also, there needs to be a way to change locations on an incident after the creation of incidents so we can just use the nav button to get there. Having a way to queu outbound messages would be fantastic, often there's only a blip or two of signal on the way home so I can't mark on scene/ returning to base.

We just started trialing this yesterday. So far it looks good, but I've noticed that the main screen is sorting calls by time, but not date, so calls from last night are higher in the list than calls dispatched this morning. The different notification sounds are okay, but it really should let you choose your own from your media storage like almost every other app does. The fact that it works with Android Wear is great! UPDATE: Our Lt. working with the developer got the list order issue fixed. The developer seems very responsive, and quick about it.

This app is really nice to have... would be nice if you could set your own notification sound instead of the phones default

I'll boost the review to 5 stars when local caching is added.
