In fact there is no journal. What you write is sent to you via email! And it appears you can only record one instance. Really disappointed. Tonight I’ve had to put up with pretending to care about my abusers silly stories from 10 years ago, had a remote control thrown at me plus multiple slamming doors and no where to record this. Not great. ### 1/5 — Unreliable + Waste of Time *2020-11-05, version 4.0.9* Used it to record something, when I stopped the recording it automatically deleted the entire thing saying something along the lines of the file bring too large to send/save. Complete waste of time I could’ve just used the default voice memos that are in all iPhones. Important evidence that I really needed was deleted/not saved thanks to using this app. ### 2/5 — Don’t rely on the audio recording *2019-12-15, version 2.1* It doesn’t work and only sends a couple of seconds at a time ### 1/5 — Ms *2019-04-02, version 2.1* How on earth does this damn thing work - honestly?? Is this all the help available for women in a terrible situation !! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Stopped working - blank screen *2024-07-27, version 5.4.9* Worked at first, now when I try to open there’s just a dark screen. Started working again. I tried sending video, but the email didn’t have the content. This is not good for people in abusive situations. It needs to be 100% reliable. ### 1/5 — Does not work *2023-05-22, version 5.0.5* It just sends you round in circles selecting language and icon… unable to get beyond that set up to see or do anything else. ### 1/5 — Don’t waste you time *2023-04-01, version 5.0.5* Only actually shows weather and 2 options. Can’t navigate it at all… useless ### 1/5 — Can’t get into the app *2023-01-05, version 5.0.5* Is this app decommissioned? I note the user comment above which suggests putting fake weather content on the front/loading page but I can’t get past it? ### 1/5 — the app is not working *2022-12-08, version 5.0.5* i’ve tried to access the app but i’m stuck on the weather page, this could potentially be dangerous. pls can u fix it :/ ### 1/5 — Couldn’t get any info or get the app to work *2022-11-14, version 5.0.5* This app literally just worked as a weather app? I’m so confused. I only had two buttons one was weather right at the time and another was weather for the next three days. No other options or anything relating to domestic abuse at all. If I wanted a weather app, I’d have downloaded one. Really not great when this is meant to support victims. ### 1/5 — Useless *2022-10-30, version 5.0.5* Is this some kind of cruel joke???Useless. Just a fake weather app that doesn’t even work for weather, let alone domestic abuse advice. No instructions. When a person is suffering abuse, the last thing they need is an app that doesn’t work and just makes them feel even worse. ### 1/5 — Does not work *2022-04-03, version 5.0.2* I have tried several times this app does not work, won’t come of weather & does not let me set up. ### 1/5 — Weather app *2022-02-22, version 5.0.2* Can’t seem to get off the weather part of the app, no help at all ### 1/5 — Can’t get out of the weather setting *2021-11-06, version 5.0.1* :-( ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Really fab app! *2022-05-09, version 5.0.3* This app is great! It allows you to learn a lot about the different types of DA, how to get help and the types of support available as well as giving you ‘real life’ case studies to test knowledge and understanding. It also has a journal feature which enables you to record incidents. Very useful! ### 5/5 — Better than the regular news app *2021-02-24* Very accurate weather prediction!! I was not disappointed when I downloaded this! 🥰 **Developer response:** Hi karly.samson._., Thanks so much for your review! Much appreciated. - Bright Sky ### 5/5 — great *2021-02-23* this app is so much better than my phone’s weather app and so much more accurate in forecasts. highly recommend. also very easy to navigate **Developer response:** Your review is very much appreciated shadowhunterrunes! Thanks, Bright Sky ### 5/5 — Really helpful *2020-09-10, version 4.0.8* Got what I needed to seek help. Wish I’d known about this earlier. ### 4/5 — hello *2021-02-24* do you guys have one for the US and thank you!. **Developer response:** Hi danisunflower88, Yes, we're working on a US version as we speak! Stay tuned for more news. Thanks, Bright Sky ### 3/5 — Good idea but too obvious *2019-03-20, version 2.1* As soon as someone selects a language, they’re taken to a screen abuse abuse support. You should: - put in some fake weather content - provide details (on this page, and when you install the app) on how to navigate to the abuse support content ### 3/5 — Review *2018-05-22, version 2.0.2* Good but when calling 999 it shows on phone call history which is dangerous! Also I agree the app name can be simply searched on google to see that it is a domestic violence app 🙁🙁🙁 ### 3/5 — Not loading *2018-05-19, version 2.0.2* Unable to load I have tested my network and that seems OK ### 2/5 — Confusing *2022-01-24, version 5.0.2* Struggling to work out how to use it! I can Only see weather. The reviews indicate that individuals have been put into further danger due to issues with the app. I hope the creators have addressed this. ### 2/5 — Too covert *2020-06-05, version 2.1* I’m unable to get it out of covert screen to input and save details. No info button even covertly. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
