### 4/5 — Not sensitive enough

*2025-07-18, version 1.4*

We tested it, put the phone into the bag, then "stole" the bag. We had to shake it hard to make it alert. Could you please add a sensitivity slider? And a custom sound recorder (to record a "this bag is stolen" + the alarm sound again) because in a hospital, a simple alarm can be extremely  confusing and scary. :)

### 5/5 — You are our hero

*2025-07-16, version 1.4*

My gf just goes into the hospital for chemo, and was afraid of theft. Your app is just what we need. A Pro version could povide a widget. ;-) Plus there should be a timer while nurses can move it a little. A tolerance timer. :)
