Only good for departments
Was looking to use this for training for EVOC but instead I’m met with a unusable game. The tutorial runs through how to use a pump very basically and afterwards you get nothing. You can’t set up a supply line without a subscription, you can’t pump unless in the tutorial or buying a subscription for freeplay. Big waste of time, back to the books.
Bugs
Love the idea but, just to hard to press stuff. Tutorials get stuck. And overall it makes me short in the simulator. I am 5"10, and it makes me 4"1.
Either way love it, great training for firefighters.
A Subscription???
Really, A subscription based app? Who in their right mind would want to have a "game" and pay $100/year for the privilege to play it. This seems like a "single purchase" type of app. I will be honest, I have not tried it. I downloaded it, then saw the $10/month price tag and was immediately looking to be rid of it. The only places that would conceivably pay the subscription fee are actual firehouses, and they have ACTUAL PUMPS that they can practice on. And, many of them are looking to get the real pumps out to cycle anyway. This is a scam.
Edit: they have asked for this review to be removed as "defamatory". I have admitted to not playing the game. But the idea of charging people $100/year for access to a game is ridiculous. Sounds like they may be embarrassed by the business model. I was going to ask my firehouse if this was something they would be interested in, but the ongoing cost is untenable.
Loved it but
Didn’t know how to get the tools since it all costs money
Great training addition
Looks hella realistic and you can refresh your pump skills in your living room
Great but needs more due to subscription
From what I was able to see it's a great start and informative for training but I think charging a subscription price should not be a thing until the "game/sim" is out of beta. It would be cool to see portable pumps added aswell as other truck models with less tech and or more tech. The controls also need work.
