### 5/5 — I use this app just about daily!

*2019-04-06*

Really glad I found this app. I’ve been using it for a few months now. With an overly anxious mom and sister, I can let them know when I get home at night without having to remember to send them a text (and they won’t have to call to check in). Also super convenient to let my friends know I got home safe from a night out. I just set this up and forget about it. Any bug fixes were taken care of pretty quickly when I first started using it. Overall, great app!
