PulsePoint for Ventura County is down... but my bot for the dispatch is not!

Anyone else having #PulsePoint app issues?
Easily half of the calls in the list view have an address listed but nothing shows up on the map view.
who is a #PulsePoint aficionado?
Is your agency's pulsepoint prematurely closing out calls or it it just the Sac County area?
Elsewhere someone just asked a good question: "You like #WatchDuty better than #PulsePoint?"
They're rather different. PulsePoint is going to give you dispatch and other info depending on your settings. Might get news of a new fire start in the area sooner than WatchDuty. Bonus points for being able to turn on scanner audio.
But once a fire is going and growing, WatchDuty is going to be people like Ben (@ai6yr) & a few other scanner & disaster trackers who will be feeding all sorts of info - images from webcams, screenshots of air traffic sites showing the air support locations, maps of evac zones, etc.
Ideally you'd have both if you're in a fire prone area.
