Very good app protected app very nice thank you 👍🏻
This is a fantastic App- well done & lade out . It holds information regarding important Contacts/ medical issues - ( that could be improved rather than tick boxes. It has the brilliant idea of a QR code creation for the Lock-Screen (Option). This helps emergency services obtain your vital information. A beautiful App- as well as free. A highly recommended emergency App- It even sends your location with your SMS text message. You won't be disappointed if they improve on the personal info entry
👍👍👍👍👍
Excellent idea, but if screen lock and clock or screen saver block the QR code, it cannot be accessed. Shame, but unworkable as screen lock clock cannot be disabled in Android. Uninstalled from 4 mobile phones for this reason. Will have to use default Emergency facility which limits notes to too few characters.
Stürzt täglich mehrmals ab. Evtl. Problem infolge Bluetoothverbindung? Bug über den Androiddialog beim Abstutz der App vor mehreren Tagen gemeldet, Reaktion Null. Wenn ich bei Anrufen immer die Abstutzmeldung wegklicken muss, bevor ich den Anruf bearbeiten kann, fliegt die App weg. SCHADE, ansonsten eine sinnvolle/nützliche App. QR-Code exportierbar oder auf ein eigenes Hintergrundbild anwendbar wäre top.
Die Notrufnummern funktionieren auch beim Reisen gut. Grüsse ans Android Weekly!
