Features & Capabilities

The Mayday Safety app enables two-way emergency alerts, sharing precise location when data is available, and real-time feedback between users and the people or organizations that can help. It supports sending alerts to multiple groups and lets responders see who is safe on a map, improving coordination during crises.

Designed with input from U.S. Special Operations veterans, the app brings battlefield-grade tools to parents, teachers, and individuals seeking a clear method to communicate. It is not a replacement for 911. It emphasizes simple, reliable communication, privacy considerations, and practical examples such as school safety, family check-ins, and nearby responder engagement.

User Reviews

Users praise Mayday Safety for ease of use, fast multi-contact alerting, and family/school safety benefits, but multiple reviews note persistent verification code failures, unreliable notifications, and poor developer support, raising reliability concerns for emergencies.
Pros
  • Easy to use with a simple setup and a user-friendly UI.
  • Allows quick, multi-person alerts with precise location sharing.
  • Provides peace of mind for families and organizations (schools/daycares).
  • Free version is straightforward and functional.
  • Strong value for organizational safety with a dashboard (Mayday Pro).
Cons
  • Activation/verification codes are frequently not received, making setup unreliable.
  • Notifications are not reliably delivered across iOS/Android and may require the app to be open.
  • Support is slow or unresponsive when issues arise.
  • Reliability concerns: some users stop receiving alerts after months.

I tried about 20 times to get a verification code and it never sends it. I have no confidence that this app would work in an emergency.

This is a fantastic app but notifications for iOS 13.6.1 are not working when sending from an Android phone. Safety updates require you to refresh each time for new information and I get nothing from maydays until I actually go into the app on iOS. So if the app is closed - nothing. I have location set for only when using the app on both phones. There’s a lot of potential here but it’s practically useless if the notifications don’t work. I was also under the impression that the mapping and messaging system was internal. I’m a bit disappointed that it has to go through google maps on an Android device. Anything good seems to be in the paid version. You should be able to coordinate a crisis with your family as well as you can with a school.

App worked as described when we first downloaded it. After a few months it became apparent my wife and I no longer receive alerts from the app. We have both deleted and re-downloaded the app with no resolution to the issue. I have decided to delete the app as we are now several months in to the app not functioning. I like the idea of this app. Since the intent would be to trust my family’s safety on this app even one failure is unacceptable.
