Nice idea, but it needs a lot of work. First of all, it has the same issue as every single other "Swiss made" app: there's no separate language setting. Every single Swiss-made app (except the brilliant SBB app) defaults to the device language. All of them. It's just lazy and bad programming! There are real reasons to keep the device in one language and decide, on an app-by-app basis, which language to use. But all Swiss apps are terrible at this. Every single one of them.

Excellent idea, but if screen lock and clock or screen saver block the QR code, it cannot be accessed. Shame, but unworkable as screen lock clock cannot be disabled in Android. Uninstalled from 4 mobile phones for this reason. Will have to use default Emergency facility which limits notes to too few characters.
