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.

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
Does not update reading
Response from developer
Hi, thanks for sharing your experience — and sorry this was frustrating. On iOS, apps have very strict limits on background heart-rate updates, even if the phone is unlocked. This can sometimes result in delayed or infrequent readings, which unfortunately affects alert timing. This is an iOS limitation we don’t fully control, not something the app intentionally does. Thank you for trying RscMe and for your honest feedback.
Garbage
Response from developer
Hi! Thanks for the feedback — and sorry you had trouble setting things up. You should definitely be able to add an emergency contact and test the app before needing to pay. Just to clarify: RscMe uses SMS to send alerts, which is why we use a credit-based system. We don’t collect subscriptions or track your data — each alert costs a small fee to keep it simple and transparent. If you’re stuck on the contact screen or something’s not working, please reach out to us at info@rscme.com — we’re happy to help get it working for you. Thanks again for trying RscMe.
Didn’t send alert
Response from developer
Hi! Thanks for your feedback and for using RscMe. Sorry the alert didn’t go out — that shouldn’t happen. Could you please email us a screenshot of the app to info@rscme.com? We’d love to check what went wrong and help you fix it. Thanks again for letting us know! Jan, RscMe
