Having trouble changing the notification sounds. Samsung Galaxy S21+. Any time I try to "set sound" it crashes the app. I've tried every sound. Can only use "default" sound which is actually the default phone sound, not the old NYC Fire Wore default sound (MDT Ring). Any ideas?

App is good but often deletes posts and sometimes takes hours to post rundowns many comments show no respect for the phony
★★★★★Tony Marzullo· Nov 24, 2021
App working great. Have been using for quite some time. Just upgraded phone to Pixel 6 pro w/ Android 12. I noticed that the icon in the notification shade is the standard bell 🔔. I know this is an Android limitation but if the icon could be changed so that it is distinguishable from other notifications that would be great. Notification shade icons are all basic B&W but some apps do have a unique icon.

App was working fine until this update. Now it won't even open.

Notifications in the app do not work correctly. I have the app selected to only give me notifications for Brooklyn, yet I get notifications throughout the whole city and Long Island. Custom notification sounds do not work at least on my platform. All email to support and admin at New York City firewire get returned as undeliverable. If it were free it might be worth it but don't waste your $6 a month it's not even worth half that.

I'll use a free scanner app vs. Paying 6 bucks a month for a live feed that they pull off someone's scanner. Rip.off
