### 5/5 — Daughter starting college

*2022-09-30*

My daughter is a freshman in college this year. We provided her with the Katana safety wallet to stay connected plus have a great sense of security in a new town. She and her friend used the walk with me feature the other night after the football game while walking back to her dorm. She over the extra sense of security. I will also note she loves the wallet to keep her ID and credit card while out.

### 5/5 — This app does it job VERY PROMPTLY

### 5/5 — Cautious Dad
