### 2/5 — Subscription

*2026-06-16*

I guess the app works as advertised but putting a subscription system in such a gimmicky safety app is crazy

### 1/5 — Yet another subscription app

*2026-04-19*

This model is really getting tiresome.

**Developer response:** Hi, thanks for the feedback.
The app always provides free access to your closest safe locations.

And if you like to access to the worldwide locations access and you don’t like subscriptions, you can get the lifetime access with only a one-time payment.
