Review summary

Users find the app's core panic button feature simple and effective, with GPS location working well enough. However, the widget is notably unreliable or often fails, which frustrates users who want quick access. Multiple contacts are not easily managed unless purchasing the Pro version. Support for wearable devices like Galaxy watches is lacking, limiting usability. Location updates can be inaccurate. Additionally, pricing and customization options are unclear, leading some users to question upgrading.
Pros
  • Simple and easy to understand concept.
  • Basic panic button feature works well and sends alerts quickly.
  • Automatic GPS setup provides location data with alerts.
  • Free version offers some functionality without payment.
  • Quick to install and start using.
Cons
  • Widget feature is unreliable or non-functional, sometimes disappearing or not responding.
  • App does not support multiple contacts easily unless paid, and contact list integration is limited.
  • Poor or no support for wearable devices like Galaxy watch or Android Wear app.
  • Location detection can be inaccurate or fail to update properly in some cases.
  • Lack of customization options and unclear or missing pricing for Pro/upgrade features.

This app most certainly does not *need* video and microphone and phone access to send SMS messages. First red flag. This app used to be good, but I wanted to have more than one contact, so I bought the paid version, and now I can't even see the list of contacts it has added to that contact list. Second red flag. I'm out, I regret paying for this?

installed the app thinking it would be good for my elderly Mother. I tested it by pressing the panic button but never had an alert come through to my phone so uninstalled the app. 3 days later I get an alert saying she was in trouble and dated 3 days ago. Junk app!
