I was unable to even login due to the screen not scrolling to allow verification input. Attempts to adjust the screen led to me being locked out. Maybe it’s because the app is so old even if it claims updates in the last year….also, the app support page linked in the app no longer exists. ### 2/5 — Does not work *2023-07-06, version 4.3.3* Subscription to premium never worked - charged me for free trial & then didn’t activate. In theory seems nice but every time I click anything in the app at all it says it’s a premium feature then asks me to pay. After paying it doesn’t activate. Straight up fully failed. ### 4/5 — Let’s try this out *2023-02-28, version 4.3.3* I am travelling with my sister to some exotic place and have just installed bSafe to keep us safe and sound ### 3/5 — Needs work *2022-03-29, version 4.3.1* The ideas for this app are cool, but it needs a lot of work. The advertising is extremely misleading and it’s hard to find accurate information about it. Firstly, it’s not free. I’m more than happy to pay $1/24 hours or less than $2/month ($20 billed annually) for something that could save my life. But I don’t like that the app’s not upfront about it. Secondly, the app doesn’t work great. There should be a save feature so you can save your preferred settings. For instance, I love the fake call option. However, I have to take the time to select how soon I want to get the call EVERY TIME. I just want to save the settings so that I can select the fake call option when I’ve been dragged into an uncomfortable situation/conversation and easily get away. This would still require me to press 2 buttons in the app if I didn’t already have it open. But the way it’s set up now, I’d have to actively look at my phone and reset the fake call settings in plain view of someone unwanted. Also I thought it would be cool to customize your SOS button so it could make fake calls while sending an alert to your friends, not just have a blatantly obvious alarm. But the app’s technology is nowhere close to that. - My speech activation didn’t work after the initial test - The FAQ page is just a 404 Error code - I have to reset the alarm, view, and fake call settings EVERY TIME The app’s just really not where it should be. I honestly don’t understand the website. There is no tutorial, no information about payment, and it doesn’t even have a link to the app. I mean, how are people supposed to buy/use your product if they can’t find it on your website? Look, I get it. You have to make money, especially for such an advanced app. And I like the story and the motivation behind it. But you need to be upfront with people and provide a quality product that’s worth it. Otherwise they’ll see it as dishonest and not trust the app. Seriously, I’d pay $40 or even more a year if the app did what it was supposed to and wasn’t misleading. So you just really need to think about it from a user/customer’s perspective. I already paid for premium, but since my friends are having trouble getting my invite, I think I’ll look elsewhere. ### 1/5 — Lost location multiple DAYS *2021-07-25, version 3.7.5* I purchased this after reading reviews thinking it would be a good app to have on her phone. I did research, read reviews and endorsements and they were favorable to this app. However, her location has “been lost for 32 DAYS!” DAYS!!!!!!!! What good is an app that is supposed to help you know your loved one’s location and she’s been lost for over a month. I paid the premium price hoping we could avoid issues that tend to come with “free versions.” I’m so incredibly disappointed and now need to research and find an app that works. ### 1/5 — Verification text is useless. *2021-07-03, version 3.7.5* I’ve tried multiple times in multiple ways to register and use this app but no matter what I try, it doesn’t send the verification code. So I’ll probably go with a different app, one that works. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2021-06-08, version 3.7.4* I can’t even get past the sign up page. It sends me verification codes but there’s not where to enter them ### 1/5 — Do you care about women’s safety or money? *2021-05-12, version 3.7.2* Absolutely disgusting that you have to pay for most features on this app to work when the intention is to keep you SAFE. Safety should always come first over profit... ### 1/5 — Glitchy, subscription scam, unsafe *2021-04-29, version 3.7.2* Tried to access the premium features by subscribing but the app kept asking me to subscribe again and even then for more money, a separate fee for 24 hours in addition to the subscription to unlock the features that I had already unlocked. What? In the end I was not actually able to access the premium features even though I did subscribe. It just failed. If the app wont work properly under normal conditions I certainly would not trust it in a stressful environment. Delete app. ### 1/5 — Can’t Even Log In *2021-04-20, version 3.7.1* Can’t even log in to the app because the mobile verification field is behind the “Next Step” button that doesn’t disappear or move. Really glad to see some User Testing ### 2/5 — Purchase???!?! *2021-03-27, version 3.7.0* I'm 14 years old and I want to find a good app that I can use with my best friend so that we are both safe. I don't have a job therefore I don't have a lot of money I don't want to waste the tiny bit of money I do have on this app just to use something that should be free! I understand that they need money to continue working but I find it ridiculous that we should pay to use the SOS button or something else so valuable in a crisis ### 3/5 — Rate *2021-03-17, version 3.7.0* App is good it just shouldn’t cost money to have full access to everything especially if it’s for your safety ### 1/5 — the paywall is just outrageous *2021-03-17, version 3.7.0* thank you for profiting off my fear and making me PAY to feel safe (: ### 1/5 — I should not have to pay to be safe. *2021-03-16, version 3.7.0* This was not what I expected. It is not made clear when I downloaded the app that all of the safety features on this app come with a cost. It seems ridiculous that I have to pay to stay safe. ### 1/5 — Scam. *2021-03-15, version 3.7.0* They charged me way more than they said and they wont give my money back! ### 1/5 — Good ideas but have to pay for them *2021-03-15, version 3.7.0* Ok i don't understand this app. As a women it is bad enough that i am scared to go for a walk on my own, the fear of being taken advantage of and many other threats. This app has the right ideas, giving people the safety to go out on their own. But you have to pay, i think thats unfair. Its taking advantage if the situation, not helping the situation!! ### 1/5 — Terrible App *2021-03-15, version 3.7.0* Forces you to pay for all the important aspects. Which honestly make zero sense!! Why would you want to use this app if there is an app like Life 360 out there that does it for free. ### 1/5 — makes you pay for basic safety? *2021-03-15, version 3.7.0* i downloaded this app to use so i would feel safer at night. i then come to find out that you must pay for any function that is useful, so basically you’re forced to pay. absolutely ridiculous given the app creators make themselves seem like they wanna help other people but instead they make you pay for everything. very disappointing and would not recommend. ### 1/5 — disappointed *2021-03-15, version 3.7.0* Why create an app that profits off the traumatic experience we have to go through, to make this app truly helpful it should be free. stop profiting. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Terrible! *2024-10-23, version 4.5* The fact that you have to pay to use this service is disgusting ### 1/5 — Searching for a body. *2024-08-18, version 4.4.4* I get the idea behind the app, but I wish there was even a way to get organizations to sponsor this? Anything. Some of the women who are most at risk, can’t afford $.99 C for 24 hours of safety. I hate to say it, but this app makes me just as mad right now as the reason behind its conception. It’s not help if it’s not helpful. So as I now today search my property for a woman’s body, and I’m trying to find apps we can share around, there’s nothing effective unless you pay. What’s the point? ### 1/5 — I want this to work so bad *2024-07-18, version 4.4.4* I was excited by this app and have been trying to use with clients at risk for dom. vio. situations. It works maybe 10% of the time. There are several issues. It will not send guardian request easily. You have to make several attempts. When checking a location it is rarely accurate or very delayed. I have tried to use this while trying to get law enforcement to a location to just discover they are no longer at the location sent to me when the alarm went off. Please please fix these issues! This app could truly be a life saver!! ### 1/5 — App not working. *2024-05-06, version 4.3.8* I’ve downloaded the app, set up an account, paid for premium subscription, and now when I log in it’s making me sign up again. So I have signed up again, but the screen never changes. I think there’s a bug in the app, as it worked perfectly when I signed up yesterday? ### 1/5 — Buggy and Flat out doesn’t work *2024-03-09, version 4.3.5* Totally unreliable. Tested it at length with my husband. We could not get him connected as my guardian. Deleted and re downloaded the app and it consistently crashed. Could never trust it when it counts. So disappointed because it is a GREAT idea with awesome features advertised. ### 1/5 — Invites don’t work *2023-09-02, version 4.3.5* My neice sent me an invite to be her guardian and no matter how many times we tried clicking in invite link (from both sides) it didn’t work. Very frustrating Also the app doesn’t even show that I am in guardian mode though I selected continue as guardian when I set it up. Very minimal menu items ### 1/5 — can't register *2023-09-01, version 4.3.5* The code does not come when confirming the registration, and then it says suspicious activity. Already wrote about this in the form on the site, but there was no answer. ### 1/5 — Failed subscription, no response *2021-12-25, version 4.2.4* I was hoping the other reviews were random, but I had the same problem. I paid for the premium subscription but the app stayed at free level. No response to email. No response to support request. Several days later. Still completely unusable app. ### 1/5 — doesn’t work *2021-12-15, version 4.2.4* fails after asking for your name. ### 1/5 — Bit sad *2021-10-24, version 4.0.1* Charging 89p 24hrs use of the ‘Fake call’ feature when it could save a persons life… ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great App *2025-06-18, version 4.6.2* This app I’ve given to my family members to keep everyone in the loop of where we are in case an emergency happens. You never know when you might need it. Very grateful to have this new technology! ### 5/5 — Button Purchase *2020-12-25, version 3.7.0* Where do I purchase the button that works with the app? ### 5/5 — Best Personal Safety App *2019-05-30, version 3.6.2* BSafe is an awesome app with revolutionary features. It helps people of all ages, demographics, and genders to feel more safe while walking alone at any point in the day. Although some features are similar to other safety apps with the tracking on a map and sending the location, BSafe offers so many new and important features. The voice activation to start voice recording is one of them—it really changes the way assaults can be dealt with. If you start recording audio and the perpetrator takes or destroys the phone, any audio is saved and sent toBSafe so you can use it in the future to prove your case. Some other features are Follow Me, a video recorder, an alarm, and a fake call. App is definitely worth a try, especially for incoming college students!! ### 5/5 — Love It!! *2019-05-16, version 3.6.0* I'm honestly just leaving this review because I love the app, even though I haven't used it in a while. I also think it's funny that people are downloading a SAFETY app with audio/video recording and a feature to set your Guardians, who are supposed to be people the app contacts in the event you can't access your phone in time to notify them you're okay. Don't get an app that does that if you don't want to use those features??? It seems pointless to me. If you're just wanting the location services, use the ones on your phone I guess. Don't leave a bad or lowered review because you don't wanna use the functions it has and then not report any bugs or issues the app is having for them to fix. Seems pointless and petty to do that, to me. Anyway, I love the app and even though it's been so long I can only imagine it's gotten better since the last time I used it. Thank you to the bSafe team for doing what you can to keep the world a safer place!! ### 5/5 — Works great! *2019-03-29, version 3.5.5* Can't wait for this to get rolled out all over the country! It's going to save so many lives. A must have for you and your loved ones phones! ### 5/5 — Awesome idea! *2019-03-29, version 3.5.5* Just love this app. Had a few issues in the beginning. But the company was great in helping me figure out what was wrong. This is a must to have on your phone! ### 5/5 — Extra Family Safety *2019-03-29, version 3.5.5* Probably one of the most useful apps on the Internet. Works brilliantly! I am using it every day, as long the data connection on the other phone is switched on or there is WiFi everything is working perfectly ### 5/5 — Works well in areas with low network.. *2019-03-05, version 3.5.3* I feel so SAFE now!! Easy to use app and the ring looks great too if you have one. Only the user needs the app and to create an account, which is free to do. You can pay for an all alerts (police, fire, ems) if you want too, but it's not required. Love this ring and love this app ### 5/5 — Audio recording feature is useful *2019-03-05, version 3.5.3* Great app, very easy and simple user interface! Its just like you are safe with your family by informing them in a second... Good work bSafe team.!!! ### 5/5 — Mindblowing *2019-03-05, version 3.5.3* The developers have done a perfect justice with the capabilities on an Android Smartphone. And Moreover the Cause of this application is really great. I STRONGLY RECOMMEND ALL OF YOU TO TRY OUT THIS APPLICATION. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
