## Description

To maintain your privacy, emergency info is only shown if red "Show Emergency Info" button is tapped - this prevents others from overseeing sensitive information while you're accessing other widgets.

Enjoy!

## Review summary

Overall, users praise ICE for making emergency information accessible on the lock screen, including name, blood type, and ICE contacts, often via the Today widget. It’s simple, useful in real emergencies, and highly recommended. Repeated downsides are readability (dark text on dark backgrounds), limited space for details, and inconsistent setup instructions across iOS versions that can render the widget unusable. The app meets a critical need but needs better contrast, more info capacity, and reliable enabling guidance.

### Pros

- Provides emergency/ICE information on the lock screen, so responders can access your name, blood type, and contacts even when the phone is locked.
- Easy to use and simple, a friendly tool that many users would recommend to others.
- Useful in real-life situations (lost phone or requiring quick access for emergency personnel).
- Enables access via the Today widget, extending availability of ICE data from the lock screen.

### Cons

- Readability/contrast issues: black text on dark backgrounds makes information unreadable; users request color/contrast options.
- Limited space: only a couple lines for info, not enough for conditions, allergies, and multiple contacts.
- Widget/enabling instructions don’t work reliably across iOS versions, making setup confusing or unusable for some users.
