Does NOT Work! Doesn’t send message to emergency contacts
I’m SO glad that I decided to get with my family and “test” the app because they never received any text or alerts!! I checked my internet connection, deleted and redownloaded the app, everything I could possibly do and it still doesn’t work.
So scary to think I (or any user) could be in a situation and thinking I had reached out for help and they’d never know.
If it doesn’t work anymore they should just take the app down due it could cause extremely dangerous situations.

Amazing App!
Clearly people don’t read or even look at instructions. This app is very easy to use once you figure it out. You go to the four little lines in the top left corner, click Help, then the Get Help button. It will then take you to where you can add trusted contacts. You can type a message that will be sent, you can choose to send a voice message, and a location. To alert your trusted contacts you tap the tool bar at the top (the green bar) 3 times at any time! What ever you set to be sent will then send to said trusted contacts. I love this app so much it makes me and my daughter at ease when we are every away from each other.

For the lady above
Go up to the left hand corner on need page and pull up how it works and help. It’ll take you to where you add names etc…it’s kinda confusing but it has to look that way.
Good
It saved my cousin idk what all the bad reviews are about probably people who can’t read! It clearly states how to set it up……. I swear our world is full of such entitled people….
Great App for Domestic Violence
Robin, this is an awesome app! Wish I had this app when I was in an abusive relationship, but then smartphones was in its infancy. Luckily I eventually left and I met my current husband who was patient with me (due to PTSD, anxiety, etc) and very understanding when he knew my past with my family (disowned) and my past abusive relationship. I couldn’t ask for a better man/husband. I’m keeping your app on my phone if I need it for myself or for someone who I care about. I love everything that you and Dr. Phil does to help others. Love you guys! Melinda G.

Please correct …
On the help tab section that prompts users for emergency contact data, please correct the spelling of ‘receive’. Remember it’s I before E, except after C. It’s not spelled recieve but receive. Thanks
I’m using the Aspire application in case I ever get adducted. I was kidnapped as a child and it’s always in the back of my mind that it could happen again. Ever though I’ve given my husband access to track my iPhone when I’m traveling on the long trips in my car, he doesn’t automatically do. In the event that I ever run into trouble, I can send a quick alert to him & the police. My husband can then quickly follow up with the police. I hope that I never have to use this application but it’s nice to know that it’s here in case I do.
I’m giving the application five stars because I think the overall concept is fabulous. I am not in an abusive relationship but I can see the potential of the application for those that are in unhealthy relationship. It also has other uses as I described above for myself. Please do fix that one spelling error though. Thank you.

I love this app!
Definitely my new favorite app. It’s such a good way to keep people safe & learn a little too if needed. I wish I would’ve had this months ago when I was going through a situation it was definitely needed in. Five stars!!!! Love it.
Need help
I bought this app and it’s not even working. It is not showing any news and not allowing me to put in any information.
Excellent concept and idea, but doesn’t work in application
I absolutely love the idea and concept behind this app. The issue I have is it has a lot of bugs, so many that it really doesn’t work in application. They should make it to where it can access your contacts so that you don’t have to manually type in phone numbers and names. Also, it’s next to impossible to find stuff within the app after you’ve entered it. Plus, I constantly get error messages when trying to update contacts and messages to send out.
I really love this as an idea and truly hope that they work out the bugs because it could really be a lifesaver if it worked right.

It doesn’t send my location
I tested the app, it sent the message every time I tapped 3 times. My location services are turned on but it won’t send my location. I don’t know how a person can send help if they don’t know where I am. Good in theory but it needs work before I have my daughter download it.
How does it help?
Not sure how it’s supposed to help. I need help getting out of an emotionally manipulative relationship I don’t have any emergency contacts except the person I’m trying to escape from. I just don’t get how a news app is supposed to help?
Have heard good things but..
I think I would really like this app, but when I try to add a emergency contact it keeps telling me to check my location settings and try again. My location settings are what they should be so until it will let me add a contact the app is useless 😅
Can’t use it. Something is wrong
It doesn’t work for me. I don’t understand the “go” button. Where is it? When I tap the green bar 3 times nothing happens. Can’t even add a contact. When I complete the info then hit ‘add contact’ the wheel turns and turns and then times out. Once I got a name in and tested it with her but nothing happened when I hit the go bar 3 times. No one is contacted and no one is alerted. I would rather just 911 than to figure out the app while I’m being abused

Awesome
What a wonderful idea. It works really well! I tested it and all of my contacts I added received my distress message. It gives me a little peace of mind. Thank you!
I figured it out
The app tries to be as simple and less obvious on purpose. It can feel like something’s missing but it’s all there. The “get help” option will get you started. I hope to never have to use it but glad it’s here if needed.
This is an essential resource for everyone!
I am so grateful for this life-saving app! My husband and I teach self-protection/defense classes together. Many women who attend our classes are seeking education and resources to protect themselves from domestic violence situations. We recommend the Aspire News app to ALL of our students!

Good idea
This app is a good idea but I’ve tried to add a trusted contact and can’t because it won’t let you scroll down or say “finish” with a section and move on to the next one so you can’t click “add voice recording” or “send my location” or click add contact so that really needs to be fixed. I know on my keyboard I can simply click done but once you get to the message, it just adds another line onto it.

I’ve had no issues
Maybe I just got lucky but I’ve had no issues with the app! As someone who was previously a domestic violence victim this app is so so important to me. I wish it existed back when I needed it. I tested out the alert thing and it’s worked every time and got my location correct, which is surprising because the Uber app never even gets it right. You can tell when it sends the message because after you tap three times on the tool bar the white words subtly blink once. I didn’t even catch it the first time I tested it.
Also- for those saying you can’t save contacts or anything, after you go through the intro click on the menu icon in the top left corner. Then click on help. And then click on get help. You’re able to add your contacts right there!

Not accessible to screen reader users
If you are a blind person in a domestic abuse situation, you can feel further abused by downloading this app and not being able to use it. Because the app was not coded correctly and the developers really don't care, as a voiceover user on the iPhone, you won't even be able to get past the get started section. Even if you can find someone to help you get past this section, I have very low hopes that the app would even be accessible at all based on what I experienced. I'm glad that I was just thinking of getting this as a back up measure and that I'm not actually in an abusive situation because if I were, this would have brought me down to my lowest point. I deleted it off of my phone, and I feel sorry for the other blind people who are trying to depend on it and who can't use it.

X in the Corner Issue
I love this app and although I hope I never have to use it, I am grateful that it is an option for me. I was reading reviews and many people could not find the X in the corner. The X only appears when you are in the Help section. Nowhere else. And to notify your trusted contacts and local authorities, you tap three times at the very top of the screen where it is green. It has the small icon with the white lines. Hope this is useful!
