iRescue: SAR Team Availability5.0.13 - App Store

iRescue shows your team who is available right now, and makes booking on and off a single tap. Built by an on-call firefighter for volunteer search and rescue teams.

WHO'S AVAILABLE, AT A GLANCE
- A live team list with everyone's status, rank and qualifications
- Cover bars for every role (team leaders, drivers, first aiders and more) turn orange or red as cover drops
- Low team alerts when your station falls below the levels you set

YOUR STATUS IN ONE TAP
- Available, delayed, unavailable, course or leave
- "Back at..." timers book you back on automatically
- Geofencing changes your status as you arrive at or leave the station*

PLAN AHEAD
- Book time off on the calendar - whole days, or from a start time to an end time - then change or cancel it any time
- Set your rota once, with shift hours if you work shifts: you're only unavailable while you're at work
- Set your day hour by hour: tap or drag the hours, then pick a status
- See the whole team's day, with how many are available each hour

CALL-OUTS THAT GET THROUGH
- Mobilisation alerts that sound through silent mode and Do Not Disturb
- Answer "I'm responding" straight from the alert
- See who is responding and how far away they are

AND MORE
- Station chat, events and training
- Dark mode, set for the whole team by your station or by you
- Sort the team list your way, choose which view it opens on, and show ranks if you like
- Face ID / Touch ID app lock
- Contracted hours tracking*

FOR STATION MANAGERS
Station managers can run their station from the iOnCall dashboard on a computer: availability planning, rotas, crewing rules and call-out history.

* Included with a subscription. Your station may already cover this for you.

Version History A big update, much of it from crews' feedback.

NEW
- Calendar: book time off for a day or a run of days, with start and end times if you need them, and tap anything under "Coming up" to cancel it or change it
- Set my rota: set your pattern once and the app follows it - with shift hours, so night and day shifts only book you off while you're at work
- A new Edit availability screen: your day in colour, tap or drag the hours, then pick a status
- A new Team screen: your status as a coloured pill, solid status icons, unavailable crew dimmed
- Dark mode across the whole app (Settings > Appearance: Light, Dark or Automatic), and your station can set the default
- Settings > Crew list: sort by rank, availability or name, show ranks, and choose which view the list opens on
- Your next planned change is shown under your status
- The Overview shows how many are available each hour
- Answer a call-out straight from the notification: responding, delayed or not responding
- Auto book-off: say how long you're available for and the app books you off on time
- Quiet alerts when you're booked off (optional)
- Your station's own logo in the app
- "Re-register this device" if alerts ever stop arriving

IMPROVED
- Picking your current status again clears an old "until" time
- One set of status icons everywhere
- Faster, clearer status picker and booking screens
- Lots of smaller fixes and tidying 5.0.13 18h ago New
