Not reliable

Update: Yet again the selected time has come and the app has not alerted me to check in. If the check in feature is not reliable the app is completely useless. This keeps happening on occasion and it only takes one time for it to be disastrous. Funny that after so much time this company can’t fix this simple issue. Hopefully they are coming out with the update they promised, which there is still no sign of, where there is a much greater range of features and check in options, including being personally contacted for people who have no family and no friends. There are many like that Original post: The app does not reliably alert me when it is supposed to. Many nights I will not realize until it’s too late that it has notified my contacts. Another major problem of this app is that apparently, once it has notified your contacts it will not repeat the next day. That feature becomes deactivated. That is a major problem and flawed design. It should notify your contacts every single day until they check on you.

Response from developer

Hello, UPDATE: Dear David, although we do our best, there are technical components that are outside of our control. Like any technical company, we cannot guarantee 100% reliability. Seeing that you first installed the app in 2017, and we've checked in on you about 1,600 times - I think 99% is not bad. As a failsafe, if we do not receive your response for ANY reason (even if your battery is dead), our system still alerts your contacts - so the worst case scenario is a false alarm. I understand you'd also like a service that includes a personal response from an individual, but this is not something we offer. Our system is automated and does not include a human component, as described. Automatically pausing the account is definitely an intended feature requested by many users. Since Apple does not notify us when a user loses their phone or deletes the app, it’s important for us to suspend future false alarms for these cases. We feel it is quite reasonable that users confirm they are OK and are still using the app after we send alerts to their contacts. All the user needs to do is check-in, even if late, so we can send notifications to their contacts that they are alright, and we know to resume service.

It's great...when it works

I live alone and I just need a simple app that makes me check in every 12 hours or so, in order to notify my mom to come feed my cats if I die in the middle of the night or something. I feel so much better knowing that she'll be notified sooner rather than later if something happens to me. Unfortunately, this app is quite glitchy and sometimes stops sending me notifications to check in (common after a phone update), which means either my mom gets a false scare that I didn't check in (it's happened about 20x now in the year that I've had it) or it doesn't send anyone a notification and just stops working! Then I have to reinstall the app and it starts working again. I wish it was a more reliable app. I also wish there was an option to notify contacts after a different time increment of not checking in, like 2 hours as opposed to 30 minutes. Sometimes I am driving during check in and can't get to it within 30 min. However, it's still the best app for this purpose as it's simple and easy to use and doesn't have added junk I don't need.

Hello Christine, we are testing the next version of our app now, and hope to release it within the next few weeks. Please check our FAQ to make sure none of those things are causing your issues, as the app should not be "glitchy", but there are many things in iOS that can interfere with Push Notification delivery, on which we currently rely (future availability of text message check-in/response is also coming). As for the response time increment, that will also be part of the future release, alongside our web-based management system.

Great always but especially now

I got this as a senior but it’s now useful for everyone who lives alone no matter the age.

We're glad you're happy with it. Thank you!

Great customer service

With the new update I had a few issues. They gave me step by step instructions how to fix it. No waiting they were right on it. I use this app morning and night. It texts my son in 30 minutes if I don’t respond to the app.

Response from developer

I'm glad it's working for you now. Thank you for the kind review.

Excellent for those who live alone!

This app makes me feel safer. Without bothering my son all the time, he can know if I am in trouble. It’s very easy to set up the notifications. It reminds me when it’s time to check in. If I don’t check in after two reminders, then he is notified. So I feel like I am less of a burden. And he feels better knowing I am safe.
The best feature is the customer service. After one update, I had a problem. I contacted the developer, and they immediately contacted me back. They explained how to fix the problem, and it worked beautifully. Having such quick quick and accurate response is worth everything.
