PulsePoint Respond

This app is helpful in many ways. The most important to me is knowing how hard, well and selflessly the agencies and each person, each role works to help our communities. People, pets, wildlife, structures. It’s incredibly grounding to know what’s going on around me and everyone should listen occasionally to hear reality and have gratitude for all people involved in emergencies. I see a lot of reviews mention avoid traffic and that is disheartening to me. Yes, it can help with that but there are other apps for that. This one lets us understand all that goes into a call for help. Police are excluded for good reason, some sensitive situations, as well. But I appreciate the work done by them just as much and understand why we cannot hear those details. The app also shows where AED devices are located which could help tremendously if someone is certified, knows how to use them and it’s needed before medics arrive. Same for anyone in need of CPR. This app allows us to help each other…appreciate those who save lives, wildlife, homes and other emergencies. It’s not just for traffic or gossip. It brings trivial problems into perspective and I always feel immense gratitude and amazement of coordination when I listen. It’s almost a form of meditation…not in the sense of using others’ emergencies but remembering and hearing reality. Some things we stress about aren’t crucial. I am grateful we have this app to know what’s going on, help if we can and adjust mindsets, feel gratitude.

First off, I love the new look of the app. It is very clean. Some things that should be added are like the ability to change what kind of mapping app you use when you hit the Navigate button. Second of all, you should have the ability to have custom tones for different calls. Some that you put in the app and then somewhere where other people can make custom tones. Next, you should have accounts, so that people can save calls, and have alerts for specific stations and departments. You also should include like an on scene button for CPR alerts that will send a notification to dispatch saying that someone is on scene that knows how to do COR. That good with the account idea, and the next idea which is an area where you have to be CPR certified to get CPR notifications. Have a list of places that you can get certified, but only allow people with CPR certification to get notified. Finally, I just want to say how much I love this app, it has helped me out so much with stuff. Thank you for making this app. It's awesome.

PulsePoint is an amazing app that allows first responders to be alerted and know what is going on in their local/ community. PulsePoint has allowed my volunteer fire company to respond to fires quicker. We have been alerted by PulsePoint while at the station many times for house fires, sometimes even minutes before the pagers go off! It also is amazing because it allows us to know who is en route and who is on scene. While all incorporating the calls onto a map. I believe it’s an game changing app and it will continue to be of good use in the future to fire company’s big and small around the United States! I highly recommend it to other first responders. Now to my wants... or wishes if you would! I would like to see more options of notifications especially for the new types of calls on the app. Maybe notifications for trash fires, vehicle fires, investigations, and gas leaks. I would also love it if the app would allow you too pick what areas you are notified for. My county is very large and my phone seems to go off a lot for fires I don’t necessarily want to be notified about😂 Any who, I would like to see maybe a area you could draw out or a by township alert system. Such as, I only want to be notified for fires, accidents and so on in the following townships blank, blank, and blank. And then I would only get a notification for them so when my PulsePoint goes off I know I’m probably going to an emergency, rather then being let down that the fire is 5 fire station locals away😭. And to conclude my Statement of words😂 I would like to pat PulsePoint on the back for being an amazing app! Good job people who made it and continue to make it great!
