Help is only the tap of a button away.

HOW TO USE: 

Register and confirm your email address and cellular number.
Add up to 5 trusted contacts’ (cellular phone numbers), using your native address book or manually.
Your trusted contacts will then either accept or decline the invitation. (Hey, it's a big responsibility. Go easy on them.) 
Once your trusted contacts are confirmed, you're all set! 
When you need to reach out for help, simply open the app and tap the large, red notOK Button.
A message along with your current GPS location will be sent to your contacts that reads: "Hey, I'm not OK! Please call, text, or come find me.”
If you do not receive a response from your trusted contacts, you have the option of contacting a local warmline or the Crisis Text Line for further support. 
Update your support crew when you're feeling better by pressing the green button.

### 2/5 — Loved the app but now I can’t even sign in, or sign up

*2023-11-12*

Not sure what’s wrong but I can’t sign into the app or create a new account. It’s just frozen. Really sad about losing this app.

### 5/5 — Thank you

*2023-10-20*

This is compatible for visually impaired users and i am so thankful. I used it when i was suicidal and the people i had on my contact list came right over.  Thank you so much. You saved my life.

### 3/5 — Still Operational?

*2023-09-17*

I cannot create an account with my iPhone, and an email to the support address bounced back undeliverable. I’m hoping this didn’t go away— great tool!

### 2/5 — It wont let me pass the sign in

*2023-09-12*

I’m a new user, I tried to make an account, I filed out all the boxes but it won’t let me sign up. So I’m sure this is a great app, if only it would work for me

### 1/5 — Can’t get it to work

*2023-07-22*

I have heard wonderful reviews about this app but I can’t get past the first sign up page. When I press continue nothing happens.

### 1/5 — Won’t let me sign up

*2023-07-16*

Tried multiple times to sign up. Entered all my info, click sign up and nothing happens. Tried deleting and redownloading the app. Still doesn’t work.

### 1/5 — Good in theory

*2023-06-27*

App won’t let me sign up. Used w several devices on several different operating systems. Please fix or this is no good to anybody

### 1/5 — Not working

*2023-05-13*

I’m new to this app and it will not allow me to create a login

### 1/5 — Oh well.

*2023-05-12*

I'm not okay. And the app won't let me create a new account. So I can't comment on anything besides the sign up page. Which is, obviously, broken. Don't know what to do.

### 4/5 — Ignore old reviews, this app is free

*2022-12-26, version 1.4.5*

What a great idea! Other suicide prevention apps offer techniques and suggestions—those are valuable but in the moment sometimes all you need is to know is that someone cares. Then later, when you’re feeling stronger, you can explore further. One star off for the forced sign up—people should be able to explore without making a commitment.
