Simultaneously, it places automated phone calls informing them of your distress and location. Designed for simplicity, the app supports up to five emergency contacts and multiple devices, making it ideal for personal or family protection. The app operates seamlessly once set up, running in the background and requiring Bluetooth and location services to be enabled. Its non-intrusive approach means emergency contacts receive standard texts and calls without needing the app themselves. Plegium ensures rapid, automatic, and reliable communication during emergencies, making it a globally unparalleled personal safety product. ## Rankings - #389,204 — Overall ## Permissions and access ### Permissions - `android.permission.ACCESS_ADSERVICES_AD_ID` - `android.permission.ACCESS_ADSERVICES_ATTRIBUTION` - `android.permission.ACCESS_BACKGROUND_LOCATION` - `android.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION` - `android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION` - `android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE` - `android.permission.ACCESS_WIFI_STATE` - `android.permission.BLUETOOTH_CONNECT` - `android.permission.BLUETOOTH_SCAN` - `android.permission.CHANGE_NETWORK_STATE` - `android.permission.FOREGROUND_SERVICE` - `android.permission.FOREGROUND_SERVICE_CONNECTED_DEVICE` - `android.permission.FOREGROUND_SERVICE_DATA_SYNC` - `android.permission.FOREGROUND_SERVICE_LOCATION` - `android.permission.FOREGROUND_SERVICE_MICROPHONE` - `android.permission.FOREGROUND_SERVICE_SPECIAL_USE` - `android.permission.INTERNET` - `android.permission.MODIFY_AUDIO_SETTINGS` - `android.permission.POST_NOTIFICATIONS` - `android.permission.READ_CONTACTS` - `android.permission.RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED` - `android.permission.RECORD_AUDIO` - `android.permission.SYSTEM_ALERT_WINDOW` - `android.permission.VIBRATE` - `android.permission.WAKE_LOCK` - `com.android.vending.BILLING` - `com.android.vending.CHECK_LICENSE` - `com.google.android.c2dm.permission.RECEIVE` - `com.google.android.finsky.permission.BIND_GET_INSTALL_REFERRER_SERVICE` - `com.google.android.providers.gsf.permission.READ_GSERVICES` - `com.plegium.android.DYNAMIC_RECEIVER_NOT_EXPORTED_PERMISSION` ## Review summary Users appreciate the safety features of the Plegium app and device, noting ease of use and effective protection.
