Users appreciate having emergency contacts integrated with direct dial options. However, reliability issues appear as accessibility services often disable themselves, causing the lock screen widget to disappear. Android's task killing and phone restart security can block app functionality, while the lack of computer-based editing and unclear emergency alert features detract from the experience. Overall, it is highly valued but could benefit from improved stability and convenience features. ### Pros - Easy to use with intuitive customization options for detailed medical records. - Allows emergency responders to access critical medical information without unlocking the phone. - Includes lock screen widget with double-tap feature for quick access to medical info. - Enables adding emergency contacts with direct dialing capabilities from the app. - Highly valuable for people with complex medical histories to share information with healthcare providers. ### Cons - Accessibility service frequently turns off unexpectedly, causing issues with lock screen widget availability. - App sometimes gets killed by Android task killers or optimization features, impacting reliability. - Medical info access may be blocked after phone restarts due to security settings requiring unlocking first. - No option to edit or update medical records from a computer, making updates inconvenient. - Lacks clear instructions or functionality for sending alerts or emergency SMS messages to contacts despite having premium features. ## Similar extensions and apps - [Medical ID](https://chrome-stats.com/d/app.medicalid.free) — 854,352 users, 4.63 / 5 - [Emergency Info Card](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.emergencyinfocard11.emergencyinfocard) — 48 users - [EmergencyID](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.mycompany.emid) — 10,779 users - [Med ID](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.taskharmony.med_id) — 93 users - [ICE Medical ID: Emergency Card](https://chrome-stats.com/d/tech.chitwansoft.emergencyinformation) — 402,551 users, 3.37 / 5 - [MyMedicalCard](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.blumotech.mymedicalcard) — 13 users - [SOS ID / Medical ID](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.LSN_Studios.Notfall_ID) — 157 users - [Meditag](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.meditag.meditag) — 19 users - [CONSIS MedID](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.consis.medid) — 6 users - [MyID – Medical ID Profile](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.myidband.myid) — 109,405 users, 4.63 / 5 - [SOS Card](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.soscard.app) — 16 users - [Rescue ID](https://chrome-stats.com/d/gr.infomax.rescue_id) — 34 users --- Source: [Chrome-Stats](https://chrome-stats.com/d/app.medicalid)
