User Reviews

Red Panic Button is praised for its lifesaving concept and simple design, with real-life anecdotes of helping responders. However, many reviews cite reliability issues after updates, contact-management/paywall hurdles, a non-quick panic workflow, and limited watch-use. GPS accuracy and regional limitations also show up. Overall, the idea is valuable, but current execution, costs, and usability require fixes to be reliably effective in emergencies.
Pros
  • Potentially lifesaving emergency alert that can notify contacts quickly.
  • Simple, handy design that is easy to use when functioning.
  • Positive real-life anecdotes where it helped responders arrive faster.
  • Useful concept for discreet, non-verbal signaling during emergencies.
Cons
  • Reliability problems and bugs, especially after updates and on certain devices (e.g., iPhone 12).
  • Contact management is broken or blocked (cannot add contacts; family sharing issues).
  • Pro upgrade is required for essential features (multiple contacts, customizable messages) and is perceived as costly.
  • Cumbersome, multi-step panic flow that is not truly panic-friendly in urgent situations.
  • Apple Watch usage is limited (often still requires iPhone to send) and GPS/location accuracy can be unreliable.

I thought this used to sound an alarm

It used to work great. Now on the last update it doesn’t work on iPhone 12. My iOS is up to date. Please fix it.
