RedContact puts the people and emergency numbers that matter most one tap away. It's made especially for elderly people, and for the moments when you're stressed, in a hurry, or simply can't find your way through a crowded phone. Set it up once and every important call or message is a single, unmistakable button. Give RedContact to your parents or elderly relatives, and you'll know they can always reach you when they need to. ONE TAP, NO CONFUSION • Large, clear call buttons that are hard to miss, even under pressure. • No need to aim for a small button: tap anywhere on a contact's row (the photo, the name or the number) to call. • Made for everyone, and especially suited to elderly people and anyone with visual impairments. • Choose how your contacts appear: a scrollable list of large rows, or one contact per full-screen page that you swipe through. YOUR PERSONAL CONTACTS • Pick the people you'd want to reach first, straight from the Contacts app on your iPhone. • Add as many as you like, then reorder or remove them at any time. • Setting it up for someone else? Add the contacts and numbers for them once, and all they have to do is tap. • Share your whole address book with RedContact, or only the few contacts you choose. The app works either way. CALL OR SEND YOUR LOCATION • Tap a contact to call them right away. • Or switch to message mode and tap to prepare a text that includes your current location and a small map, so the other person knows exactly where you are. • You always check the message before sending it, and you can cancel at any time. • Your location is used only while you are sending a message. EMERGENCY SERVICES, YOUR WAY • Set up police, fire, ambulance and any other service you might need: mountain rescue, roadside assistance, your doctor, a poison control line, and more. • Add as many services as you need, each with its own name, number and symbol, and edit them in place. • Fill in all the right numbers in one step by choosing your country from a built-in list of default emergency numbers. • A big red circle dials each service with a single tap. ON YOUR WRIST • RedContact is made for Apple Watch too. Your contacts and emergency services sync from your iPhone automatically. • Scroll with the Digital Crown, tap, and you're calling. It's just as quick as on your iPhone. THOUGHTFUL DETAILS • Choose light or dark appearance, independent of your iPhone's system setting. • A short built-in guide walks you through setup, and you can reopen it at any time with the Help button. • Available in English, German, French, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese (Brazil), Japanese and Simplified Chinese. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No accounts. No sign-up. No ads. No tracking. Your contacts and numbers stay on your iPhone and Apple Watch. No clutter, just fast access when it counts. Please note: RedContact makes it easier to reach people and services, but it does not replace your iPhone's built-in Emergency SOS. Check that the emergency numbers you set up are correct for where you are.
