### 1/5 — app not used by life alert please

*2022-11-01*

### 5/5 — Professional Operators

*2021-07-23*

They were here in a very short time and the care is wonderful. It is wonderful to have Life Alert and know someone will be here to take care of you.

### 4/5 — Easy to use.

*2021-04-05*

I fell and hit my head on the dresser and got a bump. Couldn’t get up but Life Alert has always been there when I needed them. They took me to the hospital.

### 5/5 — Helpful in Emergencies.

*2021-03-23*

This app is super helpful for emergencies, subscribed this app for my Grandmother and she is very happy with the services.

### 1/5 — NOT FOR UK

*2021-03-05*

Why is it on UK App Store???

### 2/5 — Good Company/BAD Salespeople

*2017-08-17*

I recently called Life Alert after watching their commercial, to obtain more information about their company and pricing tiers. Had a good conversation with the first salesperson. She explained everything EXCEPT the fact that you'll be locked into a three year contract.  That's a major fact they conveniently forgot to inform me. I told them I would have to think about it because I did not want to lock myself into a 3 year contract at $49.95 for the basic service.
.    Received phone call just now from a different salesperson about why I didn't sign up.  Told him my reason that I could not afford their basic services and especially not for three years.  This man tried VERY hard to talk me into it. I flat out told him to please stop trying to talk me into it because I won't change my mind.  The guy went right back to trying to pressure me. I had to tell him "NO" 4 times, I would not change my mind. When he ignored my 4th request, I got so aggravated I told him I was hanging up and I did not want this company to contact/call me again.
.    What a shame. I respected the company enough to give it a few stars,(were it not for the fact that I respected the company, I would have only have one star) but now am so angry I won't consider this company in the future and will advise anyone thinking of signing up what I went Thu.

### 1/5 — Lacks AppleWatch support & should be WAY EASIER to sign up

*2016-12-21*

This is a good idea that is stuck in the Analog World.

- No Apple Watch support
- No easy sign up plans

Move to the 21st Century, LifeAlert, please.

### 1/5 — Save your money!!!

*2016-08-03*

Life Alert costs $50/month with 3-year contract. They are rude, their equipment is primitive. I fell and called 911 to have professional assistance rather than have my blood pressure raised. Go to Walmart and try their units. I wish I had never signed. Can't wait for contract to end.

### 1/5 — Do not fall for this-you will never get up

*2015-08-30*

Bad company to do business with  
Associates are not aware of the product they are selling
Test calls-imitating an emergency-took an average of 2 minutes 15 seconds to reach a human
Rude bully like behavior
Even called me a 'piece of work'
Terrible

### 1/5 — Help me

*2014-11-15*

First alert is better. Atleast the manager won't cuss you out in Hebrew there
