Doesn’t work

I tried about 20 times to get a verification code and it never sends it. I have no confidence that this app would work in an emergency.

Awesome app

Great app… good job Ryan.

Notification issues

This is a fantastic app but notifications for iOS 13.6.1 are not working when sending from an Android phone. Safety updates require you to refresh each time for new information and I get nothing from maydays until I actually go into the app on iOS. So if the app is closed - nothing. I have location set for only when using the app on both phones. There’s a lot of potential here but it’s practically useless if the notifications don’t work.
I was also under the impression that the mapping and messaging system was internal. I’m a bit disappointed that it has to go through google maps on an Android device. Anything good seems to be in the paid version. You should be able to coordinate a crisis with your family as well as you can with a school.

Broken, orphaned app

App worked as described when we first downloaded it. After a few months it became apparent my wife and I no longer receive alerts from the app. We have both deleted and re-downloaded the app with no resolution to the issue. I have decided to delete the app as we are now several months in to the app not functioning.

I like the idea of this app. Since the intent would be to trust my family’s safety on this app even one failure is unacceptable.

Stalker awareness

In a time where the world is somehow oblivious to the dangers of domestic violence, stalkers, and sexual assault victims. Sometimes there’s one person aside from your dog that may know the truth. This is a start to safety and more women and children getting away alive.

Great app

This app is a fantastic way to easily give piece of mind with kids on school

Fantastic

I got my family to download this I think it’s a great product with tons of potential to save lives and help keep families businesses and schools protected.

Perfect app for those with families

I could not ask for a application more tailored to alerting you of potential danger that those you care about could find themselves in. In a time of stress there is nothing complicated to navigate in order to summon help. Great app, great UI, great idea, and a great developer. Thank you Cleckner.

No one to contact for help

I was so excited about this app as we need it desperately for our family. The ease of use is fantastic. However, after downloading, getting verified, and adding/accepting the contacts, I noticed that every time I reopen the app, I have to go through the whole verification process before I can even get to the alert button! How does that help anyone in an emergency?

I have searched through everything on the app and the website to find help for this situation to no avail. All I can find are FAQ’s that don’t address this problem, and no way to contact someone for help. I even went to the App Store again to see if I could find a way to contact someone there, but all of the links were bad.

I just don’t understand why someone would create an app to help people, but not provide help when the app goes awry.

Response from developer

We are so sorry to hear that you are having troubles! This is very strange and NOT what should be happening. Have you tried any of the contact methods within the app or on our website? We even have a method to chat with us live in the app (and on our website) and we see no record of you contacting us there nor from the multiple contact forms on our website nor our phone number. Please reach out to us so that we can help you.

Not impressed.

Just downloaded Mayday on both my phone and my wife’s phone. My phone shows I’m connected with her but on her phone it shows I need to add her back and is waiting. We both have each other on but the app won’t let her add me. If an app can’t start off right I don’t know if I can trust it.
