Cool app. Couple of issues though - when I add a contact from my phone Contacts everything looks fine, however once I enter the Edit mode and hit Save - the contact list shows +44 country code on that contact even though I haven't changed that, and it already has its own CC. I think the same thing happens when I add a contact manually. The second issue is regarding sending the location - it just doesn't send it, even though the checkbox in contact Edit is ON, and it has permissions.

1. This Alarm can be used OFFLINE ✅ 2. Can send text message offline ✅ 3. Can send also the link of your location ✅ 4. Alarm is kinda Loud ✅ 5. Can customize motion sensitivity ✅ 6. Can be used as alarm when you're fully charge ✅ (to prevent damaging phone battery) IMPORTANT TIPS: - store at least 10 load for the TEXT MESSAGING. - always ON your LOCATION when you are outside. - tell your trusted contacts to give you LOAD or MB when you alarmed them. (for you to update more about ur situation.

Could you let us choose either we want to send message (SMS) or phone call ?? To me, I prefer just phone call and NO sms at all.

I feel much safer having this super loud alarm on my phone. It scares away the creepers fast. It's the only panic alarm app I've tried that actually works and is very loud. I believe it has already saved my life a couple of times at least. THANK YOU, SOS ALERT/PANIC BUTTON!!

Why is it soooo quiet. Whole idea is it needs to be loud even eat shattering. My other half wouldn't hear it if went off 2-3 feet away from him. For me basically worthless. Even when connected to sound bar. It's like it's talking softly, so it doesn't disturb anyone. It's called a panic button or panic alarm for a reason it should disturb people a block away otherwise what's flipping good is it. Also, why would any panic alarm make calls. They are for close danger and help. Notify ppl near you

I downloaded this app today. It asked me for a CC number to confirm my account. The CC declined, so I entered another which also declined and another which again declined. My bank then phoned me to say they had seen odd activity on my account. And indeed, a dating app started charging me $2.99 plus another charge for $29.99. Thanks. I have now had to cancel all of my cards. DON'T download this app. It's been hacked. And NO, I was not redirected or in an add or anything like that.
