When a disaster has struck during the night or under adverse conditions (ex. blacked out building), activate your Disaster ID app to help responders visually identify/locate you faster. The color code follows: Red = Children Green = Special Needs Blue = Adults Yellow = Service Animals/Pets Steady signal = I’m OK Flashing signal = Need medical assistance Try the updated version of the Disaster ID app called Visual 911+ app. Visual 911+ not only turns your screen into a visual signaling device, but if networks are up an running it also transmits your general GPS location to your family/friends via email when you activate an "Alert" status, including "I'm Safe". For longer lasting visual signaling capability purchase the original Everything/Tactical Lights at TsunamiLights.com .

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Sundoggy at 4.8 against Disaster ID's 3.0. Sundoggy also leads on update cadence (every 2 months vs every 21 months) and ratings volume (197 vs 2). Disaster ID's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and review sentiment (100% vs 89%). On price and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Sundoggy sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Disaster ID asks for nothing beyond the download.
Sundoggy holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Sundoggy has 197 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of Disaster ID's written reviews are positive against 89% of Sundoggy's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Disaster ID ships an update every 21 months, Sundoggy every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and November 2, 2026 respectively.
