Ratings and reviews

I had this app in the past and (thankfully never had cause to use it) it seemed to work ok when I opened it to familiarize myself with it in case I needed to use it. I just reinstalled it on my new(ish) phone because *gestures at the world in general* and... it won't even open. I tap the icon, it opens for like 0.5 seconds and then closes. tried deleting and reinstalling, tried restarting phone... nada.

Do not rely on this in an emergency! App constantly freezes, crashes, does not record more than a few seconds, and app opens by itself at times. It can overheat your phone. Not sure if they had a hack or not. Just use your phone cam and send it to a friend. This app is a great idea that doesn't work in practice. Best advice, have a dashcam that's constantly updating to the cloud, or cover your fellow protestors with phone cam coverage, so everyone has a piece of the incident.

Was very excited to have this installed. Opened it up and tried to go through the flow. Somehow this app had issues with LastPass I'd never seen before, but eventually I put in my contacts, and then it prompts me to take video...? I don't want to submit a video right now, and I don't want to have to put my trusted contacts info in before recording a police encounter. From what I can tell this is worse than Facebook Live or even just recording to your own device. The UI does not make it obvious what's going on at all.
