What's new in v4.18.4

Previously, alerts used only two sounds (Siren for high severity, Chimes for the rest), making it difficult to distinguish them by ear. Organisations can now use their own tones to help you recognise urgency and react faster Organisation contacts now appear on the Home screen, enabling you to swiftly call or email the correct team Option to search field report types rather than scrolling through the full list

Description

From the listing uploaded by “appupdater”.

The BlackBerry AtHoc mobile app brings the industry’s leading crisis communication capabilities to the palm of your hands. During an event, users can receive critical alerts, and easily share pictures and videos from the field back to their operations centre to enhance situational awareness across the organisation. Users can also send one-click duress signals or even share their real-time GPS location to promote enhanced awareness of their location for added security and protection. In addition, system operators are able to send alerts and manage their system while on-the-go, helping to get the word out and ensure safety for their people. Learn more about BlackBerry AtHoc's Mobile Apps here: http://www.athoc.com/products/mobile-notifier-apps.html Note: • Use of the BlackBerry AtHoc mobile app requires an Organisation Code from your system administrator. • The BlackBerry AtHoc mobile app uses GPS services when location tracker feature is ON. Continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life.
