PrepperApp

Read full description

PrepperApp helps you stay calmly prepared for a power cut, a storm, a flood or another emergency. One number shows how many days your household can manage, you make an emergency plan together, and SOS and first aid are always close at hand. HOW TO START The starter card "How to start prepping" puts the first five steps and a checklist for your household on one page. Print it and tick off what you already have at home. TODAY One honest number: this is how many days your water and food will last. The app counts 3 litres of drinking water and 2,000 kcal per person per day and compares that with the advice for your country. Only drinking water counts as water. You see your weakest point and your next step straight away. SUPPLIES Scan the barcode, photograph a receipt or take a photo of your shelf. You see what expires soon, get a recipe idea for what needs eating this week and one summary a week. The shopping list fills the gaps. ONE EMERGENCY PLAN FOR THE WHOLE HOUSEHOLD Write down what you will do in a power cut, a fire, a flood and more. Agree on meeting points, make an evacuation plan and add your children's school or childcare and your pets. Share out the tasks, pin the meeting point in the family chat and run a 10-minute household drill together. One map shows meeting points, hospital, AED and drinking water, even without internet. Print the whole plan as one PDF; after six months the app asks whether everything is still right. With "Are you safe?" you say you're fine in one tap. You can also make your emergency plan for free on prepperapp.net and add it to the app with your account. SOS AND FIRST AID One tap on the red SOS bar: call the emergency number, share your location, open guided first aid or text your emergency contacts. The app never calls by itself. Your SOS goes to your household and your buddies, and for each person you see what happened to it. The CPR timer ticks the rhythm and tells you out loud when to give breaths. SOS and first aid also work when you're not signed in. OUTDOORS Record your walks, with your route in gold, the elevation profile, your pace and your photos. On the way you see your turn-back time and how long your battery will last, and there's a Battery saver mode. Keep a trip day by day, with the emergency number and plug type for each country. LEARN A learning path of twelve lessons, guides and practice questions, and the Coach for questions about your own preparation, always with a source. ON YOUR IPHONE AND APPLE WATCH During a walk, distance, time and your turn-back time show on your Lock Screen. Widgets for your Home and Lock Screen, including an emergency card with your active plan or emergency contact. Ask Siri for your emergency plan, search in Spotlight and add SOS or Start walk to Control Centre. If you like, save a walk to Apple Health. On your Apple Watch: your days, compass, SOS, emergency contacts, emergency plan and medical card. YOUR DATA With a free account, your supplies and household move to a new phone. Your medical profile, medication and document vault stay on your phone. Family chat is end-to-end encrypted, and if you turn that on for your household too, only your household can read what you share. No ads, and our servers are in the EU. FREE, WITH PRO AS AN EXTRA The core of the app is free, including the emergency plan, the starter card, SOS and first aid. Pro adds unlimited supplies (free up to 10 products), all emergency plan scenarios, the document vault and the Coach's AI help, among other things. You buy Pro once, with no subscription. On iPhone, members of the same Apple family group share Pro. In English, Dutch, German and Spanish, with checklists and government advice for countries including the UK, Ireland, the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, Austria, Spain, the US, Canada and Australia. PrepperApp does not replace the emergency services. In acute danger, always call the emergency number.
