## What is SeizAlarm?

Help when you need it – SeizAlarm detects irregular movements. 

SeizAlarm is a user-friendly iPhone and Apple Watch app that allows those with irregular movements and other disorders to alert emergency contacts when they need help*.  

FEATURES:

- Detect abnormal or irregular movements via the motion sensors on the iPhone and/or motion sensors or heart rate sensor on the Apple Watch.  Sensitivity controls allow you to set customized settings specific to you.  When irregular movement is detected, emergency contacts will automatically be contacted via multiple channels (phone call, text message, and email). 

- Send immediate help requests manually to emergency contacts. 

- Also available is a manually activated time delayed help request feature (via the "Time Delayed Help" button) that can be helpful. You are able to custom set the delay time in the settings.  When an irregular movement warning is initiated you will see a countdown which can be extended via the press of a button.  If you end up becoming unresponsive during irregular movement then once the timer ends then a help request will be sent.

- When a help request is sent, your contacts will be contacted with GPS coordinates (if available), so they know exactly where you are.  

- You are also able to track your irregular movements with robust logging features. A log dashboard gives you a high-level view of past events.  You can also export log reports. 

- SeizAlarm also supports multiple emergency contact support, so more than one person can be contacted when you need help. 

- Optional audible siren and/or custom voice message that plays if a help request is sent.

- International phone number support for emergency contact(s).

- Now supporting "Family Setup" watches! 

Help is just a button press away. Start taking back your independence today. Carpe diem–seize the day!

For questions or feedback, contact us at contact@seizalarm.com. Your input is vital in improving future versions' detection accuracy and reducing false alarms.

NOTES:

*New accounts receive a 2-week commitment free trial of the help request service which allows the user to manually or automatically (via irregular movement) request help from emergency contacts.  Once the trial ends, the user must subscribe to the help request service to continue to have the ability to request help.  The help request service is an auto-renewing cost of $17.99/month or $179.99/year.  

* SeizAlarm is NOT an FDA approved medical device.  SeizAlarm does not prevent seizures, should not be used for diagnosis, treatment, mitigation or cure of any disease and is not a substitute for medical care.

* Continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life.

* Recommended placement of the iPhone for irregular movement detection is on the arm using an armband.

* Longer sessions of Watch based irregular movement detection and heart rate detection may dramatically decrease watch battery life.

* Subscription automatically renews unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period.

* The payment will be charged to the user's iTunes Account at confirmation of purchase.  The account will be charged for renewal within 24 hours prior to the end of the current period, and identify the cost of the renewal.  

* Subscriptions may be managed by the user and auto-renewal may be turned off by going to the user's Account Settings after purchase.  

* No cancellation of the current subscription is allowed during the active subscription period.  Any unused portion of a free trial period, if offered, will be forfeited when the user purchases a subscription to that publication.  The robust irregular movement log features require no subscription.

### 1/5 — BS

*2026-07-12, version 6.6.1*

It already sucks having epilepsy. Forced to quit working entirely. Kind of savage to have to pay for this…

### 2/5 — Too many false alarms

*2026-07-09, version 6.6.0*

False alarm went off frequently notifying emergency contacts unnecessarily. These occurred when cooking, walking, and even when my Apple Watch was not on my wrist.

### 2/5 — Payment issues

*2026-07-07, version 6.6.0*

Adding to a previous review and removing some stars because the renewal process via Apple was really atrocious, initial payment rejected by either Apple or my carrier and now I’ve set up a new plan and not entirely sure if the app will work. Also, there are far to many plan options with little to no advice on the difference. Great app when it works but the payment issues and lack of information are off putting.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2026-06-29, version 6.6.0*

I had a 7.5 minute TC seizure with a a heart rate that exceeded 157 BPM. The watch and phone are new and set up for most sensitive. It caught nothing and alerted no one. My husband was home so HE caught it and intervened. Would not recommend. We checked all settings from phone to watch to the app itself. The 4.5 stars reviews are BS

### 5/5 — So far the best Seizure Monitoring App for Apple

*2026-06-09, version 6.6.0*

I’ve been using this app for a couple of years now after trying a few others and also the Empatica device. So far this is the best I’ve had. Yes it does pick up on false seizures from movement of your hand like washing hands or scrubbing dishes, or if you’re moving over rough terrain. However so long as you stop the alert fast enough, it’s all good! I don’t mind the odd one here or there. The fact that I can add an indefinite number of carers on and switch them off as needed is awesome! The app synced to my Apple Ultra 2 watch no problem. My only issue is that with the new update came the snooze monitor - what is it? You do t have any info on it in your tips or FAQs.

### 1/5 — Does nothing but drain my battery

*2026-05-21, version 6.5.6*

This hasn’t helped me at all.

### 3/5 — Latest update problem

*2026-05-07*

This app is great however since the latest update it only really works with the watch, when it’s open on the phone the phone is far too sensitive and just closing the app sets the alarm off.

### 1/5 — In this economy?!

*2026-04-23, version 6.5.6*

Great until they made you pay to use it. Paywalls with no back button. That earns one star.

### 5/5 — Seizure 2/21/26

*2026-02-24, version 6.5.1*

My fiancé had a seizure while I was at work. I got the distress alert from this app and tried calling him to make sure it wasn’t a false alarm. Well he didn’t answer his phone so I went into panic mode. My neighbors were able to get into my house and confirmed that my fiancé did have a seizure. I’m very thankful that this app works. Saved my fiancé’s life.

### 2/5 — Did not work for me

*2026-01-24, version 6.4.9*

I have the epi watch and app so decided to compare with this app and my Apple Watch - it did not pick up seizures so for me it does not do what it is meant to do. It’s confusing that some reviews highly commend this app and others have the same experience as me.
