The panic needs to be a one step process. This one is a two step process: 1) hit the button, 2) tap “send text” which includes a giant link to your location. ### 1/5 — Crashes *2014-11-17, version 1.3* Not working, when try in settings to set the email or txt the app crashes every time ### 1/5 — Crashes!!!!!!! *2014-11-10, version 1.3* Don't waste your time!!!! ### 1/5 — Crashes on IOS8 *2014-10-26, version 1.3* Crashes when trying to set the emergency contacts ### 1/5 — seemed good, but crashes. *2014-10-09* I didn't even get to test this app. Great concept however when I went to configure the SMS alert, the app crashed. ### 2/5 — A bit shaky? *2014-09-27, version 1.3* Upgraded to OS8 and now it just shuts down when you try to open the app. ### 1/5 — It crashes. *2014-08-21, version 1.3* Im trying to set it up and cant link my facebook account with it i guess cause i refuse to download the facebook app. When i try to set it up with sms it crashes. Delete. ### 2/5 — Fix pleeeeease *2014-02-25, version 1.3* Won't let me set the alert via SMS, it closes the app whenever I tap it ### 2/5 — Help me app *2013-11-10, version 1.2* Not very accurate. 0.3 miles off where I actually was. ### 3/5 — Crashing *2013-04-06, version 1.1* Crashes when I try to set up the SMS alerts ### 1/5 — Keeps crashing *2012-12-31, version 1.1* Install this app and tried to set it up but it just keeps crashing ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — no bueno *2023-10-30, version 1.7* I really need this app but it wont let me set it up and the settings etc home page each line is superimposed on top of the other. I tried to delete and reload nothing changed. ### 1/5 — Failed Me - Do NOT Bet Your Life on it *2019-10-10, version 1.7* Not long after I downloaded this app, I needed to use it. Cons - GPS location did not post or send. Preset message “self edited” itself, shortening the message and leaving out info. Without sending the location, it does no good. Keep looking for other apps, this one is broken. Maybe it is IOS 13.x, but not taking any chances, deleted the app as it is broken. ### 1/5 — Terrible *2018-04-07, version 1.7* The app closes itself when setting up, pointless! ### 1/5 — It doesn't work and I'm lying bleeding to death on a quarry *2015-07-22, version 1.4* Ow ### 1/5 — Crashes Still-Deleted *2015-02-18, version 1.3* I would of thought by now that with as many statements regarding it crashing when putting phone numbers and emails in, it would of been fixed....nope....looked cool, but i wasnt looking for cool, i was lookin for useful so now its gone, i cant imagine how many would have this app if it functioned right, but with as many others out there i guess i wont know ### 1/5 — Nice idea but crashes *2015-02-17, version 1.3* This is really needed but it crashes every time try and set up an alert... ### 1/5 — Crashes. *2015-01-22, version 1.3* Very poor. ### 1/5 — Crash *2015-01-21, version 1.3* After selecting SMS message, it crashes every time. This app should be removed from the App Store immediately. ### 1/5 — Crashes Every Time! Please Fix! *2015-01-16, version 1.3* Every time I try to register an email or sms text, the app crashes every time. When is the developer going to fix this issue? If they have no intentions on fixing the issue, Apple needs to remove from the App Store. ### 1/5 — Crash crash crash *2015-01-07, version 1.3* I would no recommend getting app until they fix this problem? ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Thanks for not charging *2019-10-25, version 1.7* Apps such as Safe Trek charge a monthly fee for use. This app performs essentially the same function for those that can’t afford their safety. Although I haven’t had to use it yet, it offers great peace of mind, especially being accessible from my control center ### 5/5 — Perfect *2018-06-20, version 1.7* This app works great if you have family or friends who are disabled. They can send a message letting you know they need your help or can set it up to contact emergency help. ### 5/5 — Easy to set-up *2015-09-11, version 1.4* This program is easy to set-up. Hard to rate because I haven't needed to use it! But, I feel better knowing I have it. Thanks for making this program. ### 5/5 — Excellent *2014-01-31, version 1.3* Works great, as a person who is a diabetic and on insulin and also suffers absence seizures this app is a life saver and I have tested it out. I use a medical assistance dog and now with this app it has given me that little bit more independence. Thank you. ### 5/5 — Works exactly as advertised! *2013-06-09* This little jewel could be PRICELESS in an "emergency" situation - including if your house is suddenly surrounded by heavily-armed UN-Constitutionally-motivated forces attempting to deprive you of either your LIBERTY or your WEAPONS! All it needs is a "user-optional" function included that will DELETE all info regarding WHO was notified AFTER you send out the "SEND HELP" message. ### 5/5 — Brilliant! *2013-03-16, version 1.1* Make sure every member of your family puts this app on their phone. ### 5/5 — Review *2012-04-20, version 1.0.0* This app is definitely one of my top ten's. I will recommend it to all my friends :) ### 4/5 — Good App *2012-09-09* Works well except a few less buttons to push when sending for help would be better ### 4/5 — Better to be safe than sorry *2012-04-26, version 1.0.0* I feel better having this App incase something were to happen~ ### 3/5 — Close, no cigar. Too many steps. *2017-04-27, version 1.4* My Samsung G6 has an integrated app that only requires pushing power button 3 times. You never have to take phone from pocket. Assuming you have about 5 seconds to react to danger, this app has too many steps. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
