Review summary

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.

2024-02-27	Ke*****	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

2023-06-09	Ga*****	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...

2023-01-04	Da*****	The idea is great but it doesn't work. I don't care about sweatcoin or tracking. I want someone to get a message if I crash. Issues: 1.Tracking usually doesn't work. The map shows movement but no record of km. Worked about 1 in 5 starts. 2.Battery use: 5-10% per hour! 3.False alert when I was home, no sound, just vibration so I didn't notice in time to cancel the countdown (30s: can't be changed), the app crashed at 0 + didn't send the alert. No point if no alert! 4.Needs mobile data to work?

2022-10-21	Jo*****	Doesn't do what it was advertised to do. Meant to earn sweatcoin for using it. My balance has been 10 since I referred two people. It's not moved and it's been on constantly. Also the sweatcoin is for raffles and money off. They aren't actually for buying anything with. 🤔

2022-09-20	Be*****	The app got so much potential but the bugs make it horrible. I run 12km every morning and sometimes I only get lest than 1 sweatcoin. Sometimes the app closes on it own. I am from hiking after ending the activity it shows that I only walked 0.9km over a distance of 8km. Something is really off with the app.

2022-07-04	Ya*****	I have an account in flare, i've used it when i installed the app from sweatcoin, but since i updated it, i can't login. I do the "forgot my password" and complete the procedure, but it says "wrong information" while it's the correct username and password. Please fix this bug.

2022-07-01	Se*****	Amazing! Can you make it so it doesn't need internet unless you go to the shop tho, because sometimes my Internet doesn't work and GPS doesn't need internet unless you want a precise location. The app is good overall! I don't need a sim to send an emergency text which is good. Keeps getting better and better!

2022-07-01	se*****	This app is amazing and it is very efficent. I have tested it if the fall the detection would work and most times it did. It is also very good at detecting false alerts. But my major problem is when the screen is off. The notification doesnt help and the only way to contact someone is to open the phone which might not be possible. So i wish when a fall is detected even if the phone if off it will show a full screen pop up to help. Great app though!

2022-06-28	Al*****	The application is now unusable it doesn't even register I've left the house no tinkering will sort the problem. I changed my phone recently and will allow some of the kms racked up to be awarded but not all it's like it gives up working through the day. Used to be functional before all the tinkering and upgrades now it's just a mess. Wish I could leave a more positive review but it sucks now. What phone does this app work perfect on!?
