NineOneOne vs Text911App

We really hope you never have to call 911, or any other emergency number for that matter. But because it could happen to anyone, anywhere, at any time, someday you may need to make that important call. Now you can place that emergency call with a minimum of taps on your phone and without having to fumble around with your keypad. THE GOAL The single goal of NineOneOne was to create an application for the iPhone that would drastically, yet practically, reduce the number of taps to make the call to 911. A typical call to 911 would take approximately SEVEN taps: Home, Phone, Keypad, 9, 1, 1, Call. We knew we could do better. NineOneOne reduces the required number of taps down to FOUR in its default configuration: Home, Launch App, Big Button, Confirm. This can be further reduced down to only THREE taps in a configuration setting, which bypasses the confirmation step altogether. SIMPLICITY • The Big Red Button leads the way to safety - large enough to find and tap in an emergency setting. NineOneOne prevents accidental dialing, while remaining incredibly easy and straightforward. • Accessibility: designed for sight- and dexterity-impaired users with a large tap target and Voice Over CUSTOMIZABLE NineOneOne's Emergency Number can be set to any number, and the Dial Warning can be disabled to reduce number of taps even further - allowing you to make your emergency call immediately. THE STORY NineOneOne was designed and developed by Evan K. Stone. It was inspired out of the simple need to be able to contact emergency services in one's area quickly. Other projects were put on hold to get this out the door and into the hands of people who needed it the most. "I designed this application because I was in a an emergency situation in my car and needed to contact emergency services. However, it was too difficult under the circumstances, and I was unable to make the call. What I really needed was an app that would dial emergency services easily and in a minimum of taps. That's how NineOneOne was born." — Evan K. Stone, Developer of NineOneOne

Text911 helps you prepare SMS messages with an emergency category, your own text and your latest available GPS coordinates. PREPARE A MESSAGE Use preset buttons for fire, accident, police or medical situations, or write a custom message. Add trusted contacts and review the message before sending. LOCATION WHILE YOU USE THE APP Location updates run only while the app is active and stop when it is inactive or in the background. If permission is denied or a GPS fix is unavailable, the app remains usable and shows that location is unavailable. Always check the location included in your message. LOCAL CONTROLS Manage emergency contacts, review a local action history and use an optional password lock. Text911 opens the system SMS composer on iPhone; you must confirm sending. Opening a composer or recording an action in History does not confirm message delivery. SMS requires cellular service, and text-to-911 availability varies by area. Call 911 when you can; text when you cannot. Do not send test messages to emergency services. No account or subscription is required. This independently operated app is not associated with a government agency or emergency dispatch service. Terms of Use: https://text911app.com/terms Privacy Policy: https://text911app.com/privacy
