Watch monitoring
Response from developer
Thank you for your feedback! RscMe continues monitoring in the background, so you don’t need to keep its screen visible. After starting monitoring, press the Digital Crown once to return to your normal watch face. To make this automatic, open Settings on your Apple Watch and go to General → Return to Clock → RscMe. Choose Custom → Always and turn off Return to App under When in Session. This only changes what your watch displays and RscMe monitoring will continue. We appreciate your feedback and will make this clearer in the app. Jan from RscMe
Inactive constantly
Not reliable
Response from developer
Hi Lisa, thank you for sharing this, and I'm sorry the experience felt unreliable. One important thing: your Watch was monitoring and you were protected the whole time. The bug was only in the notification as the iPhone lost contact with the Watch temporarily and incorrectly reported monitoring as stopped, even though it never actually paused. Version 4.0.5 is now available on the App Store. It keeps Watch and iPhone in sync every 90 seconds in the background, so these false alerts won't happen again. Jan from RscMe
A bit bare bones…
Hoping the app can and will do what it promises, a bit disappointed in the lack of phone-side app features though.
Response from developer
Hi B.G., thank you for your feedback and for supporting RscMe. We understand your concern about verifying that alerts will reach your emergency contacts. The current version includes improvements to monitoring reliability, and we’re also evaluating additional testing and verification features for future releases. Our goal is to keep the app simple while ensuring that emergency alerts work when needed. Thank you for your suggestions and for helping us improve RscMe. — Jan, RscMe Team
Doesn’t send alerts
Response from developer
Hi, thank you for your feedback — and I’m sorry for your experience. What you’re describing can happen due to recent changes in how iOS handles background access to health data. In some cases, alerts may not trigger reliably unless the app is actively opened. We’re fully aware of this limitation and are currently working on a new version of the app that uses a different technical approach to improve automatic alert reliability. — Jan, RscMe Team
