Leave a Review Parachute
Love this app!
I live in center city and love that I feel safe when I am walking home from work or a night out. This is such a great idea and easy way to keep my close friends and family in the loop!User living in Philadelphia

Awesome idea love it can't 5star yet...be great if after 10s it dialed out to the police...I say 10s in case you accidentally activate Witness. Also, needs a shortcut where if you tap the home button 3x's or the power button like on the Note5 SoS mode.Ceacretcrush
Needs a control
It's waaaaay too easy to open this app and get it started. If my kid opens this app, she knows she only has to hold her finger on the screen - anywhere inside of the circle that takes up half of the size of my phone - for only a couple of seconds and it'll start recording. Then I have to field calls from my emergency contacts as to why 'Parachute' is calling/texting/emailing them. Plus, now that it's called "Parachute" and not Witness, I have to constantly remind myself that it's not, in fact, a game and for the love of God, don't open this friggin thing because I definitely do NOT want my emergency contacts being notified in umpteen ways that I've activated the bloody app. Ugh. There should be some sort of trigger before it starts notifying everyone the second it's activated.Show lessLeaKendall
NO +1 (911) ALLOWED ON APP
Tried and tried to enter +1 911--NO GO. Apparently, for "regulatory reasons", this app DOES NOT ALLOW ENTRY OF "+1(911)". This makes this app pretty useless if you are say leaving work in a hospital when on call, & getting attacked in a parking garage, DESPITE TAKING EVERY PRECAUTION POSSIBLE. It's highly doubtful that any "friend" or "emergency contact" will be able to help you in the MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT, unless you get LUCKY ENOUGH for them to hear their phone ring when they are dead asleep. EVEN if they DO hear their phone ring, they won't have your EXACT location. Having NON-emergency operators "ping" your phone (& finding my killer on exactly which of 12 parking garage floors) will likely take up time that is probably the difference between life & death. Good idea, BAD execution. I DID enter the NON-emergency # for the police department, but in my city, our city limits include NINE COUNTIES. The likelihood of getting EMERGENCY help @ 3 A.M. by calling a NON-emergency number (that covers all nine counties) falls exponentially. Our "911" routes the caller to the closest station in the correct county.Show lessANON8887
Uber driver approved
Tested this and it works. I've been using Witness for personal protection when working late at night. I like the stealth recording. It will make me feel much safer using this. It took me a while to figure out how to get it to show on the notifications screen (you have to hit the edit button at the bottom). The only thing with the notifications screen is that I also need to put in my fingerprint to unlock the phone and that slows it down. Strongly recommendedShow lessLorieplatt
No configuration safety, not helpful
I almost never give applications poor reviews. However there is no excuse for not having a safety switch on this application for the purpose of setup and configuration. I accidentally triggered the app in the middle of setting it up frightening the daylights out of my dearest friends. Great idea. Horrible execution.Show lessCiaran Anthony
Witness A Great Safety App
This app is a must for every student who has a phone.
It can be the difference in an emergency situation.Wayne Schmidt
Must Have
Like others I was watching CSI cyber and heard this. I wondered if it was a real app and sure it enough it is. It does exactly what it states it does.
In case of emergency just hit the button, after set up, and location, voice, and video, are activated. A phone call goes to your emergency contact after a text is sent allowing them to know that it's been activated to to click the link from there text.
There are no directions in the app so you need to test it out to learn about it.
NOTE- Heed the warnings from others and try this using you as the emergency contact first before adding others. And only use in an emergency. Let your emergency contacts know about the app as well so they know.Show lessEman1061
