User reviews

Wont work with numbers outside continental US

Cant confirm numbers out of the mainland US.

Does not work

Despite emailing support, the app does not send SMS messages to the contacts. We still got billed though.

Crashes on Apple Watch

So disappointing.

Do not buy credits!!!

But the app and it has a great concept, I bought 10 credits which are supposed to be used to send SMS alerts to your designated contacts, how ever this clearly isn't the case, for one it uses more than one credit for each alert and 2, the designated contact isn't notified. Don't waste your money.

Does not connect well with iPhone 6 and 1st gen Apple Watch

Not an app that does what it promotes on the box, pity!
If I did work, I would hope a help app is something you can access quickly from the front screen somehow but it was not a thought the designers had if they can fix the bugs..
