Snug Safety Check-in Daily
I have been using Snug since my new senior housing facility did not have much of an emergency 🆘, and inquired on Google for something to fit the bill so to speak. I found this app on the Apple App Store and felt it would handle what I was concerned about. ‘Let me tell you, it does’. I one time forgot (in the beginning) to check in (I have the premium service @ $99/yr), and I have my brother listed as a Contact person. They called him, he called me, they called me, would call 911 shortly if I didnt respond NOW! My Time Limit was set at 12 Noon, I reported in at 12:02pm. So, I now have changed from 00:01-11:59am to check in daily, to 00:01-13:30, or 12:01am to 1:30pm daily. I now check in mostly mid mornings.
It’s good to have, works in all of contiguous 48 states, where ever your cell phone is located. BTW, age 84 and now a widower.

Loving it
I live alone and my love ones are a distance away from me. I don’t drive and I feel so isolated. If something were to happen to me who would know? The snug app gives me a chance to prove I’m alive. The response makes me feel as though someone is watching out for me and watching for my signal. It is indeed reassuring. My mood is so much better just from having this app. I love it. My family loves it as well. They have a chaotic schedule (to me) and tell me how reassured they are about my safety and condition. Thanks Snug.

Safety and awareness
It’s very beneficial for me to check in on a daily basis as it keeps me on track to make sure I’m okay every morning. My major concern, and it doesn’t have anything to do with Snug, is that if I don’t respond, I don’t have someone to check on me on a timely basis. The person who is my contact doesn’t make the effort to check on me if I don’t respond. She rarely, if ever, responds to anyone quickly. She’s always more involved in her own life (self, family, and then friends). If I don’t respond, I’d appreciate it if Snug could/would contact a call center or emergency personnel to make sure I’m okay. I’ve never needed someone to be contacted, but just in case. I don’t have any family and very few close friends.

A Snug hug
Since I have no one that calls me on a daily basis to check on me ( I’m 76 and not in great health) I signed up for snug to check up on me, and if I don’t respond within a certain time they will contact someone that can come and check on me . I have a little dog, and if I fell and wasn’t able t get to a phone I wouldn’t want to lay here for hours or days ((as some have in this community) without someone coming to help me and take care of my little dog . With snug I feel more secure now . I’m sharing snug with friends that also need a snug hug🥰

Mr Pete
Snug is FANTASTIC app that I’m thrilled with. This is one of a very few app reviews I have ever written. I would rate it much higher if it were possible. I am using the free version which fits my needs perfectly.
I am a sole caregiver for my wife with Alzheimer’s. I’m in very good health but my wife is totally dependent on me. I had to add special inside locks to prevent her from getting out of the house. Having done that, she’s trapped if something happens to me at night. Snug lets me add our daughter and her husband as emergency contacts to be notified if I fail to “check in” at a preset time. It works flawlessly to ensure my peace of mind and our daughter’s as well that I’m alright each morning. I even tested it this morning to make sure it was reliable and did exactly what it’s intended to do… Verify that I’m ok!

SNUG- a great answer!!
I have had two different friends living alone that have endured medical problems in which they were unable to reach a phone for help. It was 2-3 days later before they were discovered. I am in excellent health, but living alone myself, this has always been a concern of mine. Anything can happen! Snug has solved that issue. With a daily check, I know I will not have to go through the hours of not knowing if anyone will find me. Snug has relieved my mind.

Perfect check in app
Living by myself, I wanted a check in app that could notify my friends, without being obnoxious about it, and not relying on them having the same app. This Snug is perfect! Only notifies if I miss, gives me plenty of warning to check in, easily seen on my phone, check in is simple, the last known location is great, and I really love all the motivational quotes after checking in too :) My friends appreciate the painless effort on their side, and are looking at it as well. This meets all my needs and I feel comfortable with it. Definitely eases my worries, having Snug here!

Response from developer
Thanks for the wonderful review. So glad that Snug helps ease your worries!
Safety at home
I love Snug as it works well for me. Because I live alone, my biggest fear is that I will fall and there will be no one there to call 911 or no one there to know what’s happened. If something happens to me now after a period of time, snug will call my family. I feel much calmer about my life. I know that somebody will be there for me. My biggest fear was that my dog would be left alone crazy as it sounds but now I know she will be taken care of !
What a great idea!

Live alone? Use Snug!!
Living by yourself can be exciting, fun as well as work. You’re entirely responsible for your apartment, home, etc. It also means that you always need to be aware, safe and responsible. What if you happen to trip on a loose carpet when you first got up this morning and injured yourself or possibly worse - are unconscious. Who would know? With Snug you will check-in online on a daily basis at a pre-set time that you set. This takes literally seconds. And if you miss checking in at the time you have designated, a contact which you selected - such as a family member or close friend or a favorite neighbor - will receive an online notification from Snug that you have missed your check-in time. You control when you check-in and who you prefer Snug to contact should you miss your check-in time which you set for yourself. It’s simple to set up and definitely worth giving Snug a try.

Great app - one major glitch
I’ve been using the free version, which has all the features I need at the moment. Thanks! I’m sure I will need the paid / premium version at some point :)
The one huge glitch is that the app apparently does not recognize a change in the time zone. I live on the West Coast but went to Hawai’i to house sit for two months. I verified within the app that the time zone was changed to HST and was no longer set on PST. I left the check-in time limit set at 10:00 every morning. However, the app began notifying me three hours too early at 4 a.m. that it was time to check in. At 6 a few mornings I got the warning message asking me if I was OK. And then one morning I slept late and it called my contacts at 7 a.m. It is three hours earlier in Hawai’i. The app does not recognize changes in the time zone - even when set to a new time zone. I did send screenshots of this issue to SNUG support but did not receive a resolution. Maybe in the next update?
