| 2020-11-28 | I can't do anything with this. There are no news articles. I clicked the bar three times it would not let me into the actual Aspire app. The only thing is done so far is turn on my location and give me numbers for abuse shelters. I can't add my contacts or anything to the app. | ||

| 2020-10-31 | There's no news articles??? The whole point is it's supposed to be disguised as a news app, but it just says "no new articles, check back soon". You can easily apply to be on the Dr. Phil show, but they can't be bothered to fix the most basic aspects of an app that is meant for emergency situations, which is super sleazy. I didn't try any of the emergency functions, but I wouldn't trust them to save anyone's life cause this thing is a mess. | ||

| 2020-08-26 | This app would be amazing if it worked. The distress message does not work and I would not recommend this. It needs serious updating. The idea behind this is amazing, but the fact is that the app doesn't work and is essentially just another news app. | ||

| 2019-06-03 | I'm downloading this app now but reading reviews, I'm hesitant. I know my note 8 has an SOS option in my settings! so for anyone who cant get this app to work, and you have a note 8, check out the SOS option! IT DOES WORK!! I'm not sure what phones have it but if you're in a dangerous situation, please check your phone!! I have a friend who wants to leave so I was looking at this for her. she has an iPhone. I'm going to play on the app but I'm also going to check her phone for the SOS option! | ||

| 2019-04-19 | very offended that nothing in this app actually works. this is trash. I set my contact and triple tapped the top bar and NOTHING! I SHOULDNT BE TRICKED INTO DOWNLOADING A "LIFE SAVING" APP THAT DOESNT ACTUALLY WORK AND GIVES ME A FALSE SENSE OF SECURITY!! I COULD HAVE DIED IF I TRUSTED THIS APP TO SAVE ME! | ||

| 2019-04-07 | I tried this on both of my daughters iPhones and my android and none of us can get the test run to work. I was feeling really confident about this app considering it is endorsed by Robin Mcgraw and my daughters safety is incredibly important. Hopefully I'm just doing something wrong but I really hoped it would potentially be an additional part of my girls safety. | ||

| 2019-04-02 | it did work. it sent my message silently to my wife, although it said the address was 1005, instead of our actual address of 1000. That COULD be a big deal if it sent the wrong location when someone is trusting that their location is being sent correctly. it did have alot of different resources under the education tab. HOWEVER, I echo what others have said, How do you let people who might need this app know about it without also letting the abuser know? | ||
