## What is Emergency Phone Numbers?

Keep the phone numbers that matters on your iPhone, wherever you are.

With Emergency Phone Numbers you can see all the emergency numbers (Police, Medical and Fire) of over 130 Countries. You can even add a personal important contact which is easily reachable (a family member for example).

Maybe you don't need it now, but when you go to a foreign country on holiday or for work you'll have all the emergency numbers in your iPhone. If you need help, just slide your finger to call and the phone will automatically dial for help. 
With the simple "locate me" button the app will automatically find the emergency phone numbers wherever your are.
The app tells you your exact position and coordinates (latitude and longitude) so you easily know where you are.
Beautiful design and super easy to use.

For anyone who travels,this is most important to have.Very grateful for the kindness of the FREE provider.You save lives!

### 5/5 — Well designed app

*2018-07-15, version 6.0.1*

First of all, I love the orange background color. The developer has thought into the details of an emergency app. Yes, there is no better color than orange in case of emergency.

The buttons displayed are minimum and the learning curve is really fast. The layout screen is simple. The operation is very straight forward.

Improvement? I hope the incident location could be displayed during the call. No one wanna flipping the screen to-n-fro during the call.
