About this app

SMS Text 911 your location information with one tap.

Know where you are before calling 911. The App will also text multiple family members your location when you trigger a 911 call.

July 2018 WARNING:
Android OS has a possible bug. When you shut down your phone and do a fresh power on, the phone will need a few minutes to get its GPS location. Any App that makes use of GPS is affected by this bug. The only App that is able to get your GPS location quickly after a cold reboot is the Google Maps App. If you do perform a cold reboot, you will need a few minutes for the phone to set up its GPS location for Apps that use the phone's GPS data. If you did not perform a cold reboot, then the App should not have trouble getting GPS data from the phone's built-in GPS system.

This app looked very promising and, after verifying my county uses text 911, I installed it. The setup is straightforward and easy to use. When I got to adding my contacts, I was only able to add one person. You can add more with the pro version (oh great!). When I checked the price on the pro version, it was only .99! Awesome! I'll be buying the pro version NOW. Just found out the pro version is on the Play Pass Family Plan! You guys rock! 🤘

As a 911 operator and police dispatcher, please Inform those that download this that most departments do not have text 911, it's in its infancy and only being used in a small number of departments. We also dont get a list of meds or medical problems. GPS is also known to be inaccurate more than not. It shows in the general area of, which can be a 1 block radius or several miles. The only way to accurately get a loc is they the phone carrier, which can only be done by law enforcement and cell companies have strict criteria to allow it. I work in a large city and we have no way of receiving a help request from any app. The most reliable and fastest way to get help is to call 911. If someone sent this hoping to get help in our dept, it would never come as we wld be unaware of it. Maybe a good way to keep in touch with family and friends.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts. We do mention several times in the software that not all counties support Text 911 and we also provide a link to the latest listings of areas supporting Text 911. We encourage users to make use of the Smart Location feature to compensate for the flaws of GPS. Our goal is to create the ideal 911 phone dialer.

See my original poor review below. I was immediately contacted by the vendor who was very helpful and worked through the issues with me and now the app works as expected. Welll done. The problem was a result of the Android 9 update. App will not run on Google pixel XL with latest Android update. It did work prior to the update. Tried to uninstall and reinstall but still not working
