Doesn’t work

I tried about 20 times to get a verification code and it never sends it. I have no confidence that this app would work in an emergency.

Awesome app

Great app… good job Ryan.

Notification issues

This is a fantastic app but notifications for iOS 13.6.1 are not working when sending from an Android phone. Safety updates require you to refresh each time for new information and I get nothing from maydays until I actually go into the app on iOS. So if the app is closed - nothing. I have location set for only when using the app on both phones. There’s a lot of potential here but it’s practically useless if the notifications don’t work.
I was also under the impression that the mapping and messaging system was internal. I’m a bit disappointed that it has to go through google maps on an Android device. Anything good seems to be in the paid version. You should be able to coordinate a crisis with your family as well as you can with a school.

Broken, orphaned app

App worked as described when we first downloaded it. After a few months it became apparent my wife and I no longer receive alerts from the app. We have both deleted and re-downloaded the app with no resolution to the issue. I have decided to delete the app as we are now several months in to the app not functioning.

I like the idea of this app. Since the intent would be to trust my family’s safety on this app even one failure is unacceptable.

Stalker awareness

In a time where the world is somehow oblivious to the dangers of domestic violence, stalkers, and sexual assault victims. Sometimes there’s one person aside from your dog that may know the truth. This is a start to safety and more women and children getting away alive.
