No Apple Watch app?

This is required for schools, and teachers and councilors often rely on Apple Watches. As a teacher moving around campus carrying supplies, my phone is easy to accidentally leave behind. I would feel so much better if this could integrate with a cellular Apple Watch, which I would always have strapped to my wrist. Other than that, it has always worked well in drills, with a great design. Hopefully I will never need it for anything else!

No “alarm” sound when activated

My phone does not alert me with a loud noise. I get a small “ding” on my watch and maybe a small noise on my phone. I’ve seen other have this problem too. Other people in my same office get a loud “alarm” noise when their’s goes off, but I don’t. I’ve messaged support and they “tried” to help me, but I sent screenshots of both my app settings and phone settings, then a separate message about how both times it was activated Friday at work it did not alarm (as per my email, but to confirm nothing was “fixed” on their end) and I have yet to get a reply still 2 days later. My app isn’t working an intended to notify me of an urgent situation and no one cares to help me fix it, I guess.

No audible alarms even with critical alerts enabled.

Despite having every possible iOS notification setting enabled—including Critical Alerts, Time Sensitive Notifications, sounds, and persistent banners—the Rave Panic Button app consistently fails to make a sound during drills or emergencies. I’ve confirmed volume settings, mute switch, Focus modes, and in-app settings, but the app still remains silent. For an application that’s supposed to be used in life-or-death situations, this is unacceptable. If alerts cannot reliably bypass iPhone’s silencing features, the app loses its core purpose. Until this issue is fixed, I cannot recommend relying on it for real emergency communication.

What the heck man

Can’t even sign up with My phone number because some fatty took it from me?? I didn’t even get a register text yet it’s registered what the heck man.

(This isn’t a joke)

Needs Apple Watch extension

I am an SRO in a school, I wear a Apple Watch, and when my phone is on silent the do not disturb bypass will not work while my Apple Watch is connected to my phone. I have to keep my phone on silent in order not to disturb classrooms. They definitely need to give some attention to making this work with watches as well.

FAQ

What does the Rave Panic Button app do?

The Rave Panic Button app is designed to reduce the time it takes for help to reach you during an emergency. It allows users to quickly activate emergency alerts, which can include dialing 9-1-1 and notifying on-site personnel within their organization.

How does Rave Panic Button help in emergencies?

In critical emergencies, activating a Rave Panic Button can initiate a 9-1-1 call and simultaneously alert individuals within your organization. For less severe issues, the Staff Assist feature can notify on-site personnel without dialing 9-1-1. When a 9-1-1 call is made through the app, critical incident information is automatically sent to the 9-1-1 dispatcher.

Is Rave Panic Button free to use?

The Rave Panic Button app itself is free to download and use. However, its full functionality and benefits are realized when your school, business, or organization subscribes to the Rave Mobile Safety service.

What are the requirements to use Rave Panic Button?

To fully utilize Rave Panic Button's features, you will need a data connection and access to your phone's location services. Enabling notifications and keeping your phone connected to Wi-Fi is also recommended for optimal performance. You must also be authorized by a participating organization to use the app.

Can I use Rave Panic Button for any emergency?

Rave Panic Button is designed for both critical emergencies requiring a 9-1-1 call and lower-severity issues where on-site assistance is sufficient. The app provides distinct options for each scenario, ensuring appropriate action is taken without dialing 9-1-1 for non-emergency situations.
