User reviews

Doesn't work well

Installed fine. Tried to create an account through the app, it wouldn't accept any details. Went to the duress site, eventually managed to create an account (ran into issues there as well), went to sign in to the app again, refused details (saying invalid). Couldn't confirm whether it was free for personal use or not and at minimum cost of $23.99 per month -- no thanks. Don't waste your time, use the Emergency SOS function of your phone if need be.

Feels great having backup walking home from work

I typically get off work around 9PM and as of last week my trek home was pretty damn scary. I just chuck on the monitoring when I’m feeling...a little unsafe and it takes the edge off the police are only a tap away. Cheers guys for helping me feel safer walking home :)

Feeling a lot safer

I downloaded this app a while ago and I’ve used it to monitor when I’m walking home after work and it gives me such a peace of mind it’s awesome!! Hopefully I’ll never have to alert the police but I definitely feel safer with duress! Thanks guys!

Incredible app, can see why it’s recommended

This is the only app I have found that connects to the Police and tells them who you are, where you are and live video without having to call 000 - a full blown security service in your pocket. Forget the other apps who send a message to your contacts, this connects to Police. Well done!

Fingerprint instead of PIN

The app asks for a pin when you open it.

It should also allow you to use your fingerprint so it’s quicker to run.
