Comments on WatSAFE for Android

★★★★★ Still has bugs Maps for shuttle did not load and flashlight did not work. Would prefer more control on emergency contact buttons due to how big a deal a false trigger would be. Focus should be on push with ability to toggle 911 emergency dial. Other contacts should be at least off of main page of the app. Alarm is cheesy high pitch three burst pulse would be universal strobe sos function might also be useful

★★★★★ Nice features and resources, glad the campus is taking safety seriously

★★☆☆☆ Black screen It loads, then the screen goes black, and nothing.

★★☆☆☆ Why is there a "call 911" button? What if I accidentally open the app, or if it opens in my pocket? I can already call 911 from my phone. That's what a phone does.

★★☆☆☆ Utter garbage. They tested the emergency system this morning and when in the afternoon there was an actual stabbing on campus, they decided to not use the app to alert others. Utter failure of a system.

★★☆☆☆ I opened the app and was trying various features. I click on a "Waterloo Region Crisis Supports" link. Page not found <3

★★☆☆☆ The app does not open at all on Huawei p20. The watsafe logo appears and then my phone freezez and Crashes to home screen after 5 minutes.
