The BNN App has limited features when used with the Android 6.0 Marshmallow operating system. It has no settings feature or no way to refresh postings as compared to the app running on Android 5.0. The app needs modifications to be fully functional on Android 6.0. Thanks

I went from Apple to Samsung s 7 and the app does not work correctly you don't automatically get alerts and you can't delete all at once you have to delete each alert separately.

T70%
by T####:

I am unable to see updates or a settings icon. I simply have a blank screen for each tab.

Y70%
by Y####:

Why aren't alerts allowed as default notification? It's tied to default ring tones? This makes no sense

Z70%

Great app, but very unhappy with incompatabilities that won't let you change settings with Android 6. It's been over a year-it should have been addressed by now.

Y70%
by Y####:

For over a year. To delete an incident I have to log out and in so it goes away. If certain applications update I no longer get notifications and have to reinstall BNN. BNN knows of issues for over a year!

I'm a long-time subscriber to BNN, and their service is great. However, the app isn't as efficient as getting the incidents over your phone via text messaging. The idea of getting your jobs like a "beeper," with a tone going off and the job appearing on your screen, seems to be missing. You have to essentially 'refresh' the app to bring up jobs. Otherwise, it's like refreshing the 'Drudge Report' during the day to get the latest headlines. Some people may like that, if they don't respond or act on a job coming in, and just want to know what's going on. But it's not good for me. The other thing is the inability to delete individual jobs from your screen. I've been told that the only way to delete one specific job (as opposed to all of them you receive over a period of time, i.e. "delete all") is to delete it on the screen, then log out from the app, and boot it back up again. Really not worth the effort for just one job. The ability to send and view pictures of incidents is not all that important to me, as I can see them by logging into the BNN service and view them there. With that, I will be reverting back to getting my incidents over the phone as text messages.

Lacks capability to submit incidents. Does not account for the S5 's key functionality.

M70%

They want $58 just to start then $9 a month. A little pricey for something you can find elsewhere for FREE!

An absolute must for any member or BNN subscriber no pager device needed. Real time incidents with mapping and photos of the incidents when available. Most used app on my phone. Awesome for any Fire Enthusiast.

The only thing I don't like is the internet must always be on in order to get updates. Unlike text messinging services.
