User Reviews

Users appreciate the app's innovative personal protection features, including fall detection and emergency contact integration. However, many report stability issues such as app crashes, login problems, and inaccurate tracking. False alerts and missed notifications cause frustration, along with high battery usage and reliance on mobile data. While some praises highlight responsive developer support and valuable functionality, common bugs and usability problems hinder the app's effectiveness and reliability for safety purposes.

Pros

Great concept of personal protection and incident detection using phone sensors.
Effective fall detection with good false alert filtering in many cases.
Ability to add emergency contacts directly from phone contacts.
Free basic version with affordable premium options.
Frequent updates and active developer support for some issues.

Cons

App frequently crashes or freezes, especially when switching to background or mobile data.
Tracking and distance recording often inaccurate or fails to start properly.
False alerts triggered by normal phone movements or notifications missed due to subtle vibration.
Difficulty editing emergency contacts or login issues preventing app use.
High battery consumption (5-10% per hour) and requiring mobile data to function fully.

Recent reviews

I liked the idea of this app, so i set it up, but then discovered that some things are broken - for instance I can't edit my emergency contacts, which basically renders the app useless, as it can't send alerts to anyone. Logged a support call about a month ago but have had no response. Deleted my account and uninstalled the app

Often crashes, hangs up as soon as it was put in background. Nice to have the option to collect sweatcoins, but no option to transfer them to sweat wallet, therefore since no access to them, these are just like numbers in a video games. Looks good, but worthless...
