Earlier quoted context omitted.

Wait till you try the Android app. I have no words.

Ryan from the PagerDuty support team here. Have you tried any of the newer versions? They're greatly improved. If you can pass any feedback along to support@pagerduty.com it would be much appreciated.

The number one thing this app should do is show me correct information. Don't ever show me cached version of the page from 30 seconds ago while you load. The only indication that I'm looking at a stale page is the teeny tiny loading bar at the top. I would rather see a blank loading page than the wrong information.

Oh and once the loading bar finishes, the list of alerts changes right out from under me and I often end up tapping on the wrong one. It makes me want to throw my phone.

PagerDuty is awesome and so is their android App. We've hooked our entire probing(system test) and code instrumentation through riemann to pagerduty. Each time a developer starts a new branch she can deploy it on the cloud, get into pagerduty console and within a few minutes check if there are any regression failures. Furthermore, production alerts make a "snake attack ssss" notification on my android (which by now everyone recongizes) and if they are not auto-resolved within 10 minutes I get a phone call, and if I don't acknowledge it, another engineer gets a phone call... It took some time to tweak riemann to avoid the pagerduty throttler but now it works great, and makes our product even greater.

I would only wish pagerduty added a regex filter in the incidents view. It would help us alot.

Maybe now their iOS app will show you when you're on-call next without having to jump through hoops..

You can pull in an iCal link from the web UI, if you weren't aware. That way, it will nicely with the rest of your calendars in the apps you already use on a regular basis.
