Life happens. Leave nothing unsaid. If Required gives you a private place for the things your family may someday need to know — from the words you want to leave them to the everyday details only you know. Write a letter to your kids. Leave instructions for your family. Explain where important documents are kept. Tell someone where to find the spare keys, the safe, family photos, digital assets, or something tucked away that nobody else knows about. You don't have to put everything online. If something sensitive should stay offline, simply leave directions to where it can be found. You decide what to leave. You decide who receives it. You decide who you trust. Choose trusted confirmation contacts and require one, two, or three confirmations before your information is released. Your notes stay private until your conditions are met. And with Personal Follow-Up, there's another layer of reassurance: if receipt of your notes isn't confirmed, a real person — not AI — follows up with your chosen contact by email, text, and phone. Use If Required for: - Personal letters and messages - Things only you know - Important instructions - Locations of documents and valuables - Pet care details - Family photos and digital assets - Directions to information you prefer to keep offline You don't have to prepare everything today. Start with one thing they should know. Add the rest when you're ready. **For everything you know. For everyone you love.** Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: If Required at 5.0 against The Healing Network's 4.5. If Required also leads on update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). The Healing Network's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 3) and ratings volume (10 vs 2). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
