User reviews

We'll see...

I havent used it yet of course and I am using the free version, therefore you get one contact and one secondary alert phrase.

Audio Doesn’t Work

This is a great idea for an app, and it does give my wife comfort when she walks alone in the local area from time to time.

However, whilst the video clip option works well, the audio clip option does not. The file comes out corrupt and cannot be read by VLC or Windows media player, nor can it be converted to say MP3 or four as the file is in error. Shame. I hope the developers will do something about this.

No sound?

I thought this used to sound an alarm

Update crash

It used to work great. Now on the last update it doesn’t work on iPhone 12. My iOS is up to date. Please fix it.

Response from developer

Extremely limited

Extremely limited and doesn’t do what I thought it would.
