### 3/5 — Great concept

*2017-05-05, version 1.0*

I love the idea of this app. I am LGBT and this is extremely useful. However, contacts do not work for me so I can't add them.

### 1/5 — This is bad!!!!!

*2019-01-26, version 1.5.2*

It doesn’t keep u signed in!! That’s what it’s supposed to do right?!?!

### 1/5 — Animal shelters

*2018-12-26, version 1.5.1*

It only shows animal shelters when I look up shelters...

### 1/5 — Silly nonsense

*2018-06-02, version 1.5.1*

This app hides itself as a math tutor? Isn’t the community this app intends to aid supposed to be proud and courageous, yet hides and identifies itself as a math app???

Click on Shelter and you get Shelter Insurance or Animal Shelter. Click on hospital and you get Animal Hospitals. Click on Emergency and you have to play 21 Questions to get an answer. 911 still works on any phone.

This app sounds like a pity party for a selective group. Enjoy if you like to scribble down reminders of why you’re depressed and set yourself a timer to go back and remind yourself.

### 1/5 — What’s the point of the app?

*2018-05-29, version 1.5.1*

Essentially it’s a maps app. The hospital list is incredibly limited. The nearest hospital to me appeared in NYC. Takes WAYYYYYY too long so sign in. Honestly, you’re safer by using the emergency mode already integrated in your phone which calls the police and sends your location and text to your emergency contacts. The incident reporting thing isn’t more helpful than the notes app in iOS. The buttons in incognito mode don’t do anything making it incredibly suspicious.

### 1/5 — App keeps crashing upon opening

*2017-05-06, version 1.0*

App keeps crashing upon opening

### 2/5 — Help Please!

*2022-10-10, version 1.6.0.1*

It keeps kicking me out. It seems like such a great app, but I can’t even make an account. Please fix this!!

### 2/5 — app keeps kicking me out

*2020-08-21, version 1.6.0.1*

every time i try to log in from the fake math help screen,, it kicks me out

### 2/5 — Keeps kicking me out

*2020-02-08, version 1.6.0.1*

I’ve had the app before and it was great but after updating it it just keeps kicking me out of it for no reason. Please fix this

### 2/5 — Huh?

*2018-09-02, version 1.5.1*

I totally understand the use of this app (actually not really) and it really could be helpful. However, I downloaded it from the App Store onto my iPhone 6 Plus, and I cannot access it from my home screen. Poof, it’s gone. It’s not here. I don’t know what to do. The only way I can access it is if I go to the App Store. Therefore, if I was in a real predicament this would be no use. Also, I have tried numerous times to alert my emergency contact but your dang app failed to do that for me. Thanks for nothing, I would like more queer features, por favor. 

Your feared queer, Magdalena.

### 2/5 — Nice design, but poor functionality

*2018-06-14, version 1.5.1*

It has a nice and unique design. However I can’t even use the app because I don’t remember what I signed up with. There’s no feature to help you if you forgot your password and there’s no sign up button on the login page so i’m stuck. App is useless.

### 5/5 — I feel safer

*2019-06-04, version 1.5.2*

Really like that you can set a timer and create contacts of different priorities. Nice that there is option to make it more discreet for those who want it to be. Editing contacts could be more intuitive.

### 5/5 — My favorite app, ever.

*2018-06-01, version 1.5.1*

I love it! It’s so wonderful. Saved me in many difficult situations. I use it every day and it helps me so much.

### 5/5 — Amazing!

*2018-02-26, version 1.5*

Is this app amazing? Incredible? Spectacular? It’s all of the above! I have recommended to it to several friends of mine who have felt insecure and it has helped them tremendously. The idea and concept of this app is absolutely stupendous. For those who feel unsafe and unadvertised, please get this app and recommend it to others. It’s apps like these that shape together a bright and safe future.

### 5/5 — <3

*2017-12-29, version 1.0.1*

I absolutely love this app. I found it through tumblr and have had it ever since. I've thankfully never had to use it to date, but I have recommended it to some less fortunate friends of mine. I love the idea, I love the execution, it is an amazing app and I wholeheartedly support it.

### 5/5 — Amazing concept

*2017-05-07, version 1.0*

I found you through instagram and this is a very helpful app for people in tough situations. It always crashes when I try to turn on incognito mode, just thought I'd bring that to your attention. But an amazing app.

### 5/5 — Grateful

*2017-05-07, version 1.0*

This app is amazing and it helps me feel safe. 10/10. It's very user-friendly, easy to understand, and cautious for you. The creator deserves all the love in the world.

### 5/5 — AMAZING!!

*2017-05-05, version 1.0*

Absolutely love this app and the idea of it is so beautiful and really can save a lot of people's lives. It's an amazing creation. 11/10 recommend!

### 4/5 — So close!

*2018-05-31, version 1.5.1*

This is a great app! And a great idea. I tried to investigate the location feature, though, and it keeps crashing on me. Fix that and it gets a fifth star!

### 3/5 — app crashes when i look at my location

*2018-07-02, version 1.5.1*

i think this app is absolutely spectacular, and the moment i saw it on the news i downloaded it. as a pansexual, i sometimes fear what people might do if they find out like i like the same sex, nonbinary people, and people who’ve transitioned. my only thing is that every time i try to look at my location, the app sends me back to my home screen. could this be fixed soon? thank you 💖💛💙

### 3/5 — Issues with incognito

*2017-05-07, version 1.0*

I absolutely love the app and the idea but I can't seem to get incognito to work. When I activate it the app just crashes and when I reopen nothing has changed.
