Reply too a Developers Reply: I know exactly how to the use the app, that's not the problem. The problam is that this app doesn't provide a fast and easy and efficient way to summon Emergency Services if your having a life threatening episode which is the whole point of the app the begin with. This app should work exactly like a Life Alert button that calls for help at the press of ONE button, not 3, plus send, plus HOPEFULLY being able to relay information to a 911 operator.

I got one question to ask regarding the record video and audio. For those who subscribe it can have the privellege fo use it. The problem is if i didnt subscribe i still can use my own camera to record video and audio .

However, when triggering the alert via pressing the lock button, there is no acknowledgment or confirmation. The sender does not know if it is working. I suggest adding a vibration notification. EDIT: The v4.0 update added a vibration confirmation - great! However, the sos message is queued, waiting for the phone to be active and unlocked before actually sending, not so helpful in emergency. Plus, app continues sending message whenever phone is unlocked, must uninstall.

I paid for the monthly subscription and got an email a few days later saying it has been cancelled, which is a shame because it was working great for me and really gave me peace of mind as a woman living alone. If someone can explain why my subscription got cancelled when I didn't initiate it, I'd like to sign back up if it's a valid reason.

I thought this was going to be a great app but I have tried several times to purchase an upgrade so that I can have more than one contact. Every time after a few days I receive an email stating purchase cancelled. Not had this problem with any other app.
