I use this app for EMS and Fire dispatch. it works most of the time, and then goes down for days or weeks. You also don't have a choice in hearing activity on this app. You can either hear things live, or get an audible notification that there is radio traffic. You cannot mute notifications when set to busy, and the busy notification recently went from a subtle quiet chirp to a loud, prolonged ring. I even set notification volume to 0, and still get pinged to death.

I love this app for a variety of reasons. 1. It works like a walkie talkie, but with completely unlimited range. 2. you can exit the app so that you don't receive messages. (this is GREAT especially if you are off the clock. ) 3. it records all of the messages. this is great when you work with the " i didn't say that" guy. you can LITERALLY hit a button and prove them wrong. (beware! if you say "i wanna bang the bosses daughter " someone else can hit a button and take your job!)

The last couple months, I've been noticing a lot of DELAYS in sending and receiving messages (the app holds the message in the queue, anywhere from 1 to 5 minutes). We use this app for a business, and all the delays are becoming problematic enough that we may stop using this app very soon. I've been expecting patch updates and improvements, but it only seems to get worse lately. Once you get in a conversation with someone there seems to be a lot less delay and it's more stable.
