Important! This is the first public version of FireAlert 2. Some people tested this version in advance already, but due to the many different devices and Android version it can come to problems at any time. Some functions are device specific and don't work on any device. The biggest problem will cause the camera flash-light. If you notice any problems, contact me over mail. Thank you very much! You already use FireAlert? Please, choose one version and disable the other. It can come to conflicts if you run both for the same messages.

It worked great until recently when I upgraded to android 9. Would be really great if the app is updated as I was unable to find anything similar. Thanks to the developer!
Found the app to be very inconsistent working maybe 50% at best. Edit: the app has now failed for the last 3 call outs in a row, a bit disappointing
This was a very great app, useful! But now, with Android 9, it seems to have stopped working! I don't know the email address of the developer, so I cannot mail him.....
Works great. I do on-call IT Support and can get texts 24/7. Simple setup. The flashing flash light helps a lot!!
A bit shaky. Sometimes needs reinstalling as it stops working. When it works it does what you need.
Please add toate the app the latest patch. With the latest android version it doesn't work!
Brilliant! Thought version 1 of this app was brilliant b it this is so much better. Keep up the great work!
works reliably and as advertised
I'm using this app every day for my duty, thank you so much for this app!
This app is fantastic!
Did not do what it was intended
I went through a half dozen apps that all said they would do what this one actually does. None of the others worked at all. This gives me lots of flexibility in how alerts are set up. As a search and rescue volunteer I get several different types of pages and this app gives me the options to alert differently for each.
The app needs to be open to register any sms coming in. For the most part it is not on my phone. It will be just another thing to remember like having the sound on the phone on. This was what I was trying to get around in the first place so the app becomes kinda useless. I also could not get any of the sounds on my phone to work with the app. Tried mp3 files etc. Would not work.
I use the app for first responding and it almost perfect, the only issue I have is that if I receive a message then a phone call straight away it sometimes continues to vibrate while taking the call. One feature I would really love would be done quick reply buttons on the pop-up window do I could reply to CAD to acknowledge the message without closing the window.
Exactly what I was looking for. I work in IT and I use this for automated system alerts. I would never wake up with just a text or email alert. And if I had my phone on silent I would miss texts or calls. With this app, I am able to include a key work in my alerts and then the alarm triggers on that keyword. Even if you are not in IT or an emergency responder this app is great for family members. I give my kids a special keyword and tell them if they ever cant reach me, text that keyword. No worrying about them needing help and not hearing the phone because it is on silent. Love that it supports multiple alerts so I can have different key words for work and home. Please add a pay option. I would like to contribute to the development and support of this app.
Very good! Recently Hangouts said it won't be handling SMS anymore so I switched to FB Messenger. Now FA2 doesn't seem to trigger on texts handled by FB... I am not sure how to fix it. It worked great with Hangouts. Still, this is a fantastic app, maybe we can get the issue fixed.
FireAlert2 promises much but sadly falls short. It has a lot of potential but seems to be let down by limited development and support. SMS triggers don't always work (I can't afford to miss one because it doesn't fire off), and it's impossible to use email triggers unless you use the very ageing K-9 client, which in itself is a badly developed product (No support for modern Exchange servers, No support for Office 365). Sadly I find myself looking for a more complete alternative.
App works about 1/8 of the time... worked well when I first got it, now having on going issues with it even going off... people on my department having similar issues as well Update: app works as expected after receiving an email from the team explaining how to add it to the battery save exception list. Thanks for the quick reply!
An absolute must for any first responder that gets dispatched by text,mms or phone call. If you set it up right you will never miss another alert. Also very simple to set up Thank-you developers!
I just got it and tested it, and it looks like it works as advertised on my Verizon Galaxy S7 with the newest version of Android (7.0 Nougat). A lot of other apps of this sort had reviews about things not working, or only working in the paid version (like sms) . This app does exactly what I need for free : alert me with custom noises and vibrations when specific contacts text or call me, even if my phone is set to vibrate. Thanks for a great app! Now I can leave my phone quiet at night and still get woken up if my servers go down. :)
It does not work at all, being in search and rescue I need it to work but it doesn't. No matter what settings I use and no matter if the sound is on at the phone or if it is in silent mode! It's not working at all and that's really bad for me, I've missed some operations because it's not working!
This is a great alarm app if you have to know when certain messages come in. Very flexible and easy to set up with many easy to use trigger options. Other similar apps I've tried don't work or are incredibly inflexible. This is the One!!
Indispensable app for anyone that receives alerts via SMS. Ability to customize and schedule alerts is second to none. Would be even better with more email support.
It only works sometimes. I don't receive all the alerts like i should. My setting is simple. Any texts from a certain sms#. I only get alerts occasionly which is not good enough as these are important.
not happy with the app. Works occasionally and hasnt since it was updated. Used to work 100% on my old phone but since upgrading to a Samsung A8 its very hit and miss.
