### 1/5 — Won't even complete registration...

*2019-11-20*

I spent over an hour just trying to get the necessary verification email and it just didn't happen. Nothing wrong with my email, nothing in Junk, just nothing. Literally useless.

### 2/5 — Read the description CAREFULLY

*2018-12-30, version 1.0*

Very deceiving! Not only do you have to pay for the app, you have to PAY to use it. It allows only ONE emergency contact unless you pay for a subscription.  The other available (FREE) apps are every bit as good. Save your $$
