There needs to be a way users can correct a wrong address. It could save lives. Since I don’t speak the local language, it’s not possible to let the emergency staff know my correct address if I need to use the app. This could be an issue. Hope a solution is found. ### 1/5 — App locks up *2020-02-01, version 3.3.0* If you tap the share location or address and then press ‘X’ button to close the selections, it just locks the app and I can’t do anything???!!! Just have to force close app. iOS 13.3 iPhone X ### 1/5 — Need a reply and explanation why in order to function this app asks for access to all my Contacts!? *2019-08-26* This app opens by saying that it must have access to all my personal Contacts - which have NOTHING TO DO WITH calling for Emergency Help in other countries or while traveling! That is BOGUS - suspicious - and TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE! So I had to just DELETE this app - which would have been incredibly vital and important in so many situations. ### 5/5 — Must Have for World Travelers - Absolutely Best *2017-10-29* One of the very best app. Developers: it will be terrific if you consider adding more useful must have features for frequent world travelers. GREATEST APP. Thanks. ### 5/5 — Excellent idea, excellent app.✈️ *2016-10-31* I travel a lot and always wondered what I'd do if I or my wife or son really had an emergency. Then I found this app. Worries solved. Well-made, friendly app. Thanks very much! ### 5/5 — Great tool for the road *2016-10-27* Really handy when in locations without knowing the emergency numbers. This a must for someone who travels the globe. ### 5/5 — Great app *2016-10-16, version 3.3.0* It's perfect for what I need to use it for ### 5/5 — Extremely Useful *2016-10-12* I travel a lot so it is nice to know emergency numbers of different countries. Also great UI. ### 4/5 — Great app *2016-10-08, version 3.3.0* Will never travel without it! Must have ### 5/5 — A necessity for travelers *2016-10-07* If you plan on taking a trip abroad get this app. It's an effortless download and could be vital.
