A few notes: I kept the description honest to exactly what you confirmed (rostering + SOS/alerts, manager-side only) rather than padding it with checkpoint scanning or biometric claims that aren't in this app Play Store review flags descriptions that promise features the app doesn't have. If you add features later, the bullet structure makes it easy to slot in another section.
