September 19, 2022

‣ Parachute is now ready for iOS 16! ----- Recent Updates (parachute.live/new) ----- Introducing Superlock ‣ Superlock locks down Parachute during an emergency, so an unauthorized person who grabs your phone will not be able to stop the recording ‣ Parachute is, once again, the first in the world to offer this advanced and powerful feature ‣ Superlock is for people who use Parachute in situations where there is risk of their phone being taken away from them by an attacker, police officer or other unauthorized person ‣ Superlock keeps your phone locked while continuing to record and live-stream your video, audio and location undisrupted ‣ Get the full details at parachute.live/superlock Parachute would like to acknowledge Daniel for their assistance with Superlock Introducing Checkup ‣ Checkup is a powerful new Parachute add-on that checks up on you every 12 hours and alerts your friends and loved ones if you don’t mark yourself safe ‣ Your friends and loved ones receive life-saving information, like your last known location and your emergency notes ‣ With Checkup turned on, every time you launch Parachute it automatically marks you safe and saves a breadcrumb with your location ‣ Location breadcrumbs are a privacy-preserving way to keep a life-saving location trail that helps others retrace your steps, but, unlike apps designed to share your location 24x7, Parachute only shares this location trail if you miss your checkup ‣ Checkup keeps a rolling trail of your location breadcrumbs for the past 10 days, while deleting any older breadcrumbs ‣ Get the full details at parachute.live/checkup Introducing Multi-Camera Video: A World First for iOS ‣ Capture video from both the front and back cameras simultaneously with the Multi-Camera add-on ‣ The Multi-Camera add-on is open to all Parachute members running iOS 13.0 or newer on iPhone XR, iPhone XS, iPhone XS Max, iPhone 11 and iPhone 11 Pro ‣ Get the full details at parachute.live/multi-camera Introducing Parachute Micro at just US$2.99/year We are always working to make Parachute more accessible to everyone around the world. We are excited to introduce our newest and most affordable membership ever, Parachute Micro Yearly, designed for light use. With Parachute Micro Yearly, you can activate Parachute up to 3 times a year, with up to 10 emergency alerts per incident Ultra Wide Camera ‣ Parachute now uses the ultra wide camera on the new iPhone 11 and iPhone 11 Pro, so you can capture even more of the scene on video. This expands the camera’s field of view to 120 degrees, revealing parts of the scene that would have been off camera with the standard wide camera Get Notified ‣ You now have the option to receive a push notification when your early access request is approved ‣ Just tap on the add-on you would like to request early access for and then choose to get a push notification when you have been approved ‣ We will be launching many new features in the coming months, so this is the best way to stay in the loop Do you have a Parachute story to share? We would love to feature your story in our next video. Send us an email or video about it at stories@parachute.live and we will send you back a Parachute goodie bag!

Does it need an update

Seems great

Some features don’t work well

Great app especially in these times. But the Siri activation doesn’t work. And lockdown mode doesn’t work if someone just locks the phone.

App doesn’t work anymore

Don’t waste your time and money, this app is dead. Web page is unreachable with security warning and the app can’t connect to the service. Just hope no one uses it and as a life threatening emergency. Don’t understand why an app that is not functionnal and not updated in the last 3 years is still being offered.

Protecting the world? Don’t make me laugh!

Make sure to do a test run. I have done two so far and THE AUDIO DID NOT WORK! This company has no business making an app designed for life and death situations. Also, the video cut out multiple times, saying it was because the app was running in the background WHEN SUPERLOCK WAS ACTIVATED!!!

Membership

I love this app. But can’t get ahold of developers to respond to my emails about my membership
