Notifications not really custom
Custom notification sounds are only a set of xmatter sounds unlike it’s Android app counterpart that allows access to all your truly sounds. Android version made it easier to differentiate between properties.
Landscape Mode and better notification sounds
The app does what I need when I’m on call, but we truly need better notification sounds that can alert but won’t startle. We could also truly use a landscape mode on iPad. My sits in a Magic Keyboard all day long, so getting an alert and then having to take it out of the Magic Keyboard to interact with the content is a frustrating experience.
Works great
Does what it needs to do, sufficient customizations. Only thing, response from Apple Watch is not recognized and keeps reminding on watch until you open the iPhone app. Please fix this, used to work well a few releases ago.
i don’t like xMatter
because it means I need on call
Clicking ACCEPT or REJECT from Lock Screen does nothing
I hate having to unlock and open the app just to accept a page. I always forget when I respond to an alert that in need to unlock before accepting the alert via the notification, otherwise responding does nothing. If you need to ensure it’s me that’s responding, prompt for biometric verification like other apps.
Overall great application
However, it does not rate a complete 5 stars because is missing one thing. Allow the ability to override silent features on the iPhone. Developers, please allow the ability to add override so if I want to place my iPhone as silent at night, xMatters would still make a paging sound if I get paged at night.
Responding from lock screen doesn’t work
When responding from the lock screen, responses are not submitted. Must unlock and open so to respond. Waste of time responding from lock screen
