If your phone or service provider is blocking communications from Flare, changing it to a different one may help. • The name of the screen you are on is now shown at the top. • Minor layout adjustments to improve readability.

Mine won't connect

I ordered 3--one for myself and 2 for my daughters. I tested one so I could set it up for my daughters easily and it won't connect to the app. I've tried multiple times and installed and deleted and RE installed the app....but nothing. This is frustrating. Haven't tried the other two bracelets yet and am hoping that it will be easy to get a replacement for any that don't work (because I love the idea of the product).

DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY

This half the time does not work it doesn’t do safety when it’s not working you have to check it but you shouldn’t have to do this is had more issues. It’s a Friday night and yet it’s not connecting. You shouldn’t have to check it every time you go out going on three weeks off and doesn’t connect to Safari so you don’t get the fake phone call or let your crew know so I have an Invisawear also best one you might not get the fake phone call but at least if you’re in trouble it’ll connect to your people. not only that I was in law-enforcement so you can pay the $19.99 a month and ADT will call you. It will video if you’re getting in trouble if somebody’s following you give us officers more of a description of your incident unlike this not working can’t get a fake phone call. Can’t let your crew know. It is free if you do not want ADT to be a connection for you. I never paid it because I had the flyer to make the fake phone call to scare them away but yet what does that do?

Do not buy this bracelet

Save your money. It’s extremely shady there’s only positive reviews on the website. All the negative reviews here should tell you this company is a scam. My bracelet and app don’t work. Sending back for a refund. It also apparently only last a year and you can’t charge it.

Security Flare

I recently bought 2 flare bracelets. It’s easy to set up the bracelet with the app. The app walks you through each step. Once you’ve completed the set up process the app wants to perform a test run. It will notify your crew whomever you designated to receive notifications in the event of an emergency. You have the opportunity to decide what the notification will be. Example: I’m caught in a tough spot. I believe you only have a one line message to send your crew. You can also notify 911. This is a helpful and beneficial feature. What I thoroughly enjoy about the bracelet is it’s comfortable and that it doesn’t look like it would for security. From what I understand there’s different styles of bracelets. I highly recommend this bracelet and the app. for any young or elderly person. C

Trash

Absolute garbage. Literally just got the bracelet in the mail today and it doesn’t work. It looks like it’s already been used because it’s scratched up too. Even though it’s broken straight out of the package, you don’t get your shipping refunded AND you have to pay to have it shipped back. Great first impression. What a scam.
