8 of 17Awesome. Does what they claim.
This app has an option for repeat notifications, but it does not seem to work. There doesn’t seem to be a way to contact there developer. It will be nice if that function worked. Also there was a time I had to login again, and kept not accepting there credentials. Had to leave the app and return.
How someone could trust their livelihood on this is beyond me. This is poorly put together and is not a finished product. App beware
Anyone who needs a pager is most likely going to need it to: (1) Receive text message or numeric page via an E-MAIL (sent by monitoring system, dispatcher, help desk, etc.) or dial-in system. (2) BEEP loudly and persistently until recipient clicks "OK" button on Push notolification window (at least as option in settings). So far, THIS DOES NEITHER. Please add these ... Or hopefully someone will build a "Beeper" app that's more suitable. Also, email to "support" went unanswered. :-(.
For some reason, the notification tone stopped working, and there is no repeat notifications (even with vibrate). Attempting to go to Support has failed.
The phone numbers being assigned are all duds in new Hampshire
App works great with pagers direct service. Yet if there was a way to have the phone on silent and yet still hear pages it would be almost perfect.
I have been looking for a pager app on my iPhone (3G and now 4) and have been bummed because of the lack of pager apps - REAL Pager apps - out there. This one has a few things I would like to see added in a future release, such as ability to configure indefinite number of retries, and retry interval. I can see why you can't use this as a real numeric pager froma telephone becuase it is really only a pseudo-phone number that it assigns your device and works only on their web site, not with the landline phone network. But that isn't an issue since my work and the automation can all use email address to page me. So I purchased the 30-day trial ($.99). I was on call for my job this past weekend, and got paged A LOT. it worked flawlessly - and FAST. I was afraid it would not wake me up but the choice of sounds (and some of them repeat in and of themselves) were annoying enough to wake my butt up from a sound sleep. I was very impressed. If you have no problem having your people use email address to page you, I would highly recommned this app. It saved my life, and I think it will again as I intend to subscribe to the annual plan ($4.99 - can't beat the price). Cheers !
