Features & Capabilities

911HelpSMS is a vital safety extension designed to help you instantly share your precise location with emergency services and your loved ones. With a single tap, the app sends an SMS containing your GPS location directly to 911 and multiple family members simultaneously, ensuring faster response during critical moments. This extension emphasizes ease of use, allowing users to know and report their position quickly before making an emergency call.

Please note, due to an Android OS limitation as of July 2018, devices may need a few minutes after powering on to accurately acquire GPS data unless Google Maps is used. This delay may affect how quickly the app can retrieve location information following a cold reboot. Beyond this, 911HelpSMS offers a straightforward and reliable way to enhance personal safety through rapid location sharing in emergencies.

User Reviews

User reviews of 911HelpSMS highlight its potential value for emergency assistance, especially for users who cannot call 911. The app is generally easy to set up and has helpful customer support. However, major concerns include inaccurate GPS locationing, occasional false emergency alerts sent without user initiation, and limited support due to many emergency services not accepting text 911 messages. Users also report setup difficulties and app compatibility problems on some devices. Overall, the app shows promise but needs improvements in reliability and wider emergency service integration.

Pros

Helpful in emergencies when it works; some users reported successfully receiving assistance.
Straightforward and easy to set up for some users.
Good customer support; responsive and helpful to users' issues.
Potentially useful for those who can't make voice calls, such as deaf users.
Allows contacting emergency services via SMS, useful when calling is not an option.

Cons

GPS location accuracy is poor or unreliable, risking sending help to the wrong location.
The app sometimes sends false distress signals without user intent, causing emergency contacts to be called unexpectedly.
Limited support depending on local 911 services; many departments do not yet support text-to-911, limiting app usefulness.
Difficult or confusing setup, including issues adding emergency contacts and verifying the phone number.
App compatibility issues with certain Android updates and devices, causing it not to run properly or install fully.

I've allowed all permissions but the app won't install because it says there are still permissions that are denied

I used the app to text 911 dispatch I got on with them briefly and then they immediately after they said that they were sending someone out to me and asked me a few questions I answered another question and they immediately disconnected I apologize it the way that I'm typing this is confusing it's a 1:33 in the morning and I'm tired it felt like someone was trying to break into my house but it was just an animal outside after I contacted them and after I did everything the line disconnected
