Ratings and reviews

Here is a hint for those from the U.S. trying to use this app but couldn't get the verification code. I ran into the same issue not receiving a text to my main phone number. However, as I registered the app using my Google voice number, the verification code went through and the app is activated. Also, multi language suppory is still available. One just has to get through the first step of selecting the preferred language in Spanish, then the rest will take care of itself.

Seems a good idea, so installed and got the code (UK phone) OK. However, it seems you can't set up the SOS button with the 'authorities' as Guardians. As I am a solo traveller this makes it somewhat limited value since in an SOS situation it's the emergency services I'd want first. Bug? or by design?

I had a friendly response using this app This app was designed by the Guardia for English. It is comforting to know if you enable location you do not have to try and explain where you are contacting the Guardian from. Also preset problems on screen for quickness. Phone or message or call back. Excellent.
