Ratings and reviews

I just installed the app and finished setting it up. It is exactly what is needed. Especially if you are alone and or not at same location as family it will notify 4 contacts with my position and an ability for them to also select the map that's sent with my physical location. And the welfare check ability is perfect. Don't need family to call me it will contact them if I don't answer in 15 minutes. If this is something you can use for a buck a month I encourage you to try it. For free. Even.

However, when triggering the alert via pressing the lock button, there is no acknowledgment or confirmation. The sender does not know if it is working. I suggest adding a vibration notification. EDIT: The v4.0 update added a vibration confirmation - great! However, the sos message is queued, waiting for the phone to be active and unlocked before actually sending, not so helpful in emergency. Plus, app continues sending message whenever phone is unlocked, must uninstall.

This app has a lot of useful features that was released in the new update. I find it very helpful, especially for the children when they go to school and any other places. They don't like me tracking them which this app does not do. It simply alerts me, with their current location, only when they go out of their safe zone. This seems to be a nice balance between tracking and safety which my family is happy allowing, without being overprotective
