This is meant for emergencies & as advised by BCC for upcoming Ctclone in Brisbane. Once initially set up, the app will NOT open again. Useless & worrying that this is obviously not up to date. ### 1/5 — Riddled with errors *2024-09-11* For contact info for people you live with there is space for only one phone number, instead of space for home, work and mobile phones numbers. After adding contact details for a person in your support network there is no ‘save’ button, so it is erased when you leave the page. The idea and purpose of the app is excellent but the app itself is riddled with technical and design issues like these. I’m surprised that an international organisation with the gravitas of the Red Cross would not have a professionally designed and smoothly functioning app. I have deleted it. ### 1/5 — I like the idea but it unusable on an iPhone mini *2023-11-19* I think this is a great idea but can’t get past the second screen to confirm a passcode. My phone keyboard hides the button and entering return doesn’t work. ### 1/5 — Needs work *2023-09-18* Great idea but poor execution. Please redo the UAT & give it a tweak based on the results. Lots of potential here but it doesn’t function the way it should. ### 1/5 — Seems great but won’t let me finish *2023-06-23* App crashed while entering insurance details and continues to crash when entering pin. Seems great but can’t access ### 1/5 — Crashes when adding contacts *2023-01-05* I can’t get past adding one of the three suggested contacts in Step 1. I tried to report issues and he Apple support Lynn within the App Store information for the app, and the page for providing support was not found. ### 1/5 — Feedback in app doesn’t work *2020-10-28* Developer Feedback in app doesn’t work - just get a blank screen. Can’t seem to find the list of items for my grab bag in the app. Would be a useful place to have it in pdf format to print or a link to the Red Cross www? Thanks ### 1/5 — Does not work *2020-03-14* First thing the app wants is to set up emergency contacts. I’ve tried in two versions on two devices and every time it crashes. Seriously - fix the app! ### 2/5 — Frustrated User *2023-09-25* There’s no provision for resetting your password which reduces the Apps use ability. There’s also no way to remove medical conditions if entered incorrectly or they’re no longer applicable. The concept is brilliant however in it's current version it only allows for users who fit within a narrow range of parameters. ### 2/5 — Inaccessible, broken in dark mode *2022-07-10* The app is impossible to use with dark mode on. Additionally, it does not support large text sizes (which is crucial if you need glasses to read). Some of the app is impossible to use with large text on. VoiceOver support is rudimentary. This makes it very hard for me to recommend this app ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Practical & comprehensive *2019-05-17* Great app for the whole family ### 5/5 — Wake up time *2018-10-23* This app made me realise that I am no way prepared for an emergency event. It helps me plan ahead giving support numbers etc for my area and ideas on how to pack and prepare what’s needed to grab and run to a safer area. It helps me connect to family friends and community. I really love it. God bless one and all as they try it out for themselves. Amen ### 5/5 — Informative *2018-04-16* This app opens your eyes as to what you could be missing in your emergency kits. I thought I had everything I needed but this app just let me know a couple more things that may be useful. Great app. ### 5/5 — Key 3 is even more useful than it seems *2017-10-14* Setting my different contacts for the different types of support I might need was a really useful exercise. And it’s great to know I can text them all at once if I ever need straight from the app. Can’t wait to see what features get added in the future! ### 5/5 — Fantastic, easy to use *2017-10-12* Great product, makes disaster preparedness easy!!! ### 5/5 — The most important app in my phone. *2017-10-12* It's about time that an app like this has been developed. It's tailored for me!! It looks great and I can now plan with my family for emergencies. Go Red Cross! ### 3/5 — Need to be able to delete incorrect information *2023-09-30* I agree with the review above mentioned the adding of medication. Please allow to delete duplicates and correct the information added. ### 3/5 — Great content but the UI is hard to use *2023-09-27* This app is a great idea and has really good content and information but I found it to clunky to use especially as someone with a disability. I just wanted to give some constructive feedback to help improve it :) The medication section was very limited in it’s entry, I have lots of different types of medication and dosages in both ml and g, not just 1 “pill”. It also was hard to add in individual conditions, I could see them duplicate when I edited the title/condition but couldn’t delete the incorrect ones. Sections such as Response Capacity only had a small text box to type into, make it hard to review what was written. Adding Contacts was a bit difficult as sometimes it wouldn’t confirm with the “done” button, and in terms of UI, having the Select From Contacts bottom at the button instead of the top was a bit confusing for me. I got a bit frustrated and didn’t finish to the export stage so not sure how looks but I think it’s a really good feature. ### 3/5 — Great idea but…. *2023-09-18* This app does help in reminding me of what I need to do to prepare for an emergency, however…….. it doesn’t display properly on my iPhone, so once I’ve finished entering information the “done” tab is missing or is under other text, and if you use the back button you lose the information you’ve entered. Also, if I have more than one device it doesn’t appear to share across devices, so I have to enter it twice. Is this right or am I missing something? ### 3/5 — Crashes when adding contacts *2022-06-08* When I try to add the three personal emergency contacts requested, the app crashes every time. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
