Ratings and reviews

"When speaking is dangerous" -accessos.io Live mode, yesterday: Had different difficulties (vs test app mode, too fast to screenshot) inputting the details, but I think I managed to "type here" the crime in progress. After completing it, I got 3 CALLS (missed, phone on DND) & a text message within the same minute as each other from two local area code numbers, but not ones I could associate with my local PD. The first text message said "We are calling you, please answer." the rest, Kafkaesque.

Hoping for more features... I remember hearing about this app months ago, but wasn't able to download it right away. I have now and primed it, but it looks like after first opening it you are only able to contact emergency services. It would be nice to prime the app more with mine (and my family's) details like blood type and etc. It would also be nice to set this app as available from the lock screen in case of emergency as well. A test use/ Walkthrough would be helpful as well.
