Features & Capabilities

Openroad automatically detects car crashes on Android (8+) and connects you with trained crash responders standing by 24/7. It uses industry-leading, battery-efficient location technology to detect collisions in any vehicle and can dispatch emergency services even if you can’t respond. Key features include precise location sharing with family, a Crash Scene Guide with step-by-step post-crash instructions, hail forecast alerts, and arrival/leave notifications for loved ones.

Built over six years of location and crash-detection engineering, Openroad works without hardware and aims to get help fast when every second counts. For support or feedback, contact hi@getopenroad.app. Important: Openroad is an emergency aid and should not replace other safety tools or official emergency procedures.

User Reviews

Users appreciate Openroad for its quick and automatic crash detection that notifies emergency services and contacts, giving them peace of mind while driving. However, many express concerns about privacy due to extensive phone permissions and data monitoring. Frequent app crashes and false alarms triggered by dropped phones reduce trust and usability. Users also desire more emergency contacts support and better reliability in notifications. Overall, the app is valued for its safety promise but hampered by technical and privacy issues.

Pros

Automatically notifies emergency services quickly after a car crash, providing peace of mind to users.
Provides safety and assistance features, making users feel protected while driving.
Easy to download and set up with simple initial use and helpful emergency contact notifications.
Helps in notifying family or emergency contacts after an accident, which is appreciated by many users.
Gives users peace of mind and confidence knowing help can be summoned quickly in emergencies.

Cons

App requires full access to phone permissions, which concerns many users over privacy and intrusive data use.
False positives when the phone is dropped cause the app to incorrectly call emergency services or contacts.
App crashes frequently and shows instability on Android devices, affecting usability.
Limited emergency contact options and failure to notify all emergency contacts consistently after a crash.
Poor user interface and vague feedback on how to use the app; some users experience persistent freezing or unresponsiveness.

Recent reviews

So far so good on 911 assistance when I was in a crash. 2 was actual accidents and a few were when the phone fell into the floor from the seat while driving. However it does NOT call my emergency contacts and on one accident in December my husband was 15 miles or so on down the interstate before he knew I had crashed behind him. PLEASE find an update to fix this option. Also would like the option to add more than 3 emergency contacts!

The access to phone permissions is concerning. Yeah feedback on your driving is great but what's to prevent the app data from being used against you in an accident? Nothing in the FAQ spells that out and without phone permissions the app doesn't work. Does using Android Auto show as using your phone? I'd rather use an app that isn't so intrusive.
