RIDGID Radio 4+

This app is well put together with multiple tabs for navigation. Swiping will also bring up the menu for faster navigation, particularly useful on the larger screen iPhone models.

One issue with the app, which seems like it would be a very useful feature on the job site, is the inadequacy of the voice messages portion recording a message for PA playback causes the app to crash, either when pressing the mic button early, or letting the recording complete.

One nice feature would be allowing a longer message to be recorded, as right now (even if it worked) you can only record a maximum of ten seconds. This could be circumvented by either allowing a direct voice over without recording, or utilizing a longer recording option.

All that being said, it would be a great app if the announcement feature was better implemented.

I just recently bought the Ridgid jobsite radio. I have 3 different jobsite radios, but decided to try this one because I recently bought a Ridgid hammer drill set. The first thing I tried once I opened this app was the audio recording. As soon as I went to play the recording I just made, the app crashed immediately. I tried a few more times with the same result. The app says there was a fix to this problem in April, but it's not working for me. Hopefully this will be addressed. Otherwise this is a great app, unique and the only jobsite radio I know of with something like this.

Great product, I love my RIDGID radio, comparable price to other quality radios except this one has some use for utilities that really give me more bang for my buck. With today’s technology advancing, I assume it would be pretty easy to add a microphone function to the app so I can use my RIDGID radio as a loudspeaker for giving my crew instructions during briefing and maybe do a little karaoke and some fun stuff with it also!

I think it would be cool if I had a rigid radio that was also a car battery jumper, and a stationary LED light fixture!
