What's New in Ping!

1.6

August 24, 2026

Hand over group: whoever manages the group can now hand it over to another member – in Settings, or when you leave the group or delete your account. You choose who takes over, and that person gets a notification. I can't right now: anyone who can't come says so with one tap. The others are then asked whether they can come. If nobody can, the app clearly points you to the emergency number – with a button that starts the call. “I'm coming” is now green and bigger. And when you join a group, it now says what to do with a new phone: type in the same name as before. If you are no longer in your group – because the group was closed or someone removed you – you now see that as soon as you open the app, together with what to do: just ask for a new code. Small improvements: Ping! reliably tells you when a new version is ready.

Der Familien-Notruf!

Die Idee ist simpel, aber unglaublich praktisch: Im Ernstfall genügt ein Knopfdruck und die Familie wird sofort informiert. Das gibt ein gutes Gefühl und sorgt dafür, dass Hilfe schnell organisiert werden kann.

Die App ist übersichtlich, leicht zu bedienen und funktioniert zuverlässig. Besonders klasse finde ich, dass kein Abo erforderlich ist und die App sogar die Apple-Familienfreigabe unterstützt. So kann die ganze Familie die App nutzen, ohne dass jeder ein eigenes Abo abschließen muss – ein wirklich faires und familienfreundliches Konzept.

Für Familien, die Wert auf Sicherheit, schnelle Kommunikation und ein transparentes Preismodell legen, ist Ping! eine absolute Empfehlung. Klare 5 Sterne!
