Do not have GPS location turned on at all times. I try to optimize the battery usage and use services like GPS and Bluetooth when needed. Otherwise they are turned off. App uninstalled.

Latest update is really bad. It forces user to share location and info, and to bave location on at all time. Not just in the app. I do not want my location on, at all time. Also cannot use while battery optimisation is on. Before, this was not needed. Still no English option. Uninstalled

Very good idea, really badly made. Battery hog for no good reason (approximate location is available without using GPS). Constant notification that its using GPS that can't be turned off without blocking notifications from the app. "Needs" to use loud alarm in silent mode (no good information when or why). Will uninstall again. Maybe try a beta test before releasing something that will be uninstalled at once?

A good app... When it works, which it rarely does. Repeated notifications about events/information but as soon as I click the notification to open the app it shows "no new events" and when refreshing it directly displays the error message "no Internet connection". Having the app this unreliable, especially during a pandemic, is just a source of anxiety as opposed to a feeling of safety. It needs to be fixed. (running on Samsung galaxy S9, latest version android)

Places permanent notification about GPS usage. Stop that, and don't use the GPS that way. Use the location services properly and only use active GPS positioning when bringing the app up. A phone with the app and a drained battery is worse than a phone without the app but enough battery to be used in an emergency.

Hi, Can you add the option to change language to English. Thank you for the nice app. I can say it works as expected when I received an SOS alert for a nearby fire in one of the apartment, of course with the instructions that it's been handled

I wish that there was a function where you could att favourite locations i.e if you wanna keep track of your cottage and it's surroundings when you're not there. The GPS notification is extremely verbose and honestly annoying that it's constantly there.The information resources are little bit lacking and should be improved.It would be nice if you by yourself could set the radius that's interesting instead of basing it on the incidents character only. If you live in an very dense area you will get much more notifications, some that are not really relevant for you. If there are reports of issues that has been removed the notification should be deled instead of you opening a notification that leads nowhere. It's a good start but it needs to be refined and innovated.

The app and the concept in it of itself is good but I'd prefer not having my location be pinged 24/7 since it drains the battery like hell. Would be nice for it to ping my IP once in a while but not allowing it to constantly be turned on.

I changed my review. I followed your advice and updated ot (I thought I had all updates) and now it works perfectly and my battery lasts long as before. Thanks. ‐‐------- Latest update if the app causes tremendous battery consumption. I have uninstalled it until a better update with improved batteri use comes

Like the app. The position handling has to be fixed. I run android 10. The only way to remove the position icon is to block background positioning. Seems that the app maker don't know what they are doing. This works on other applications.

App doesnt work for me anymore. I have been in contact with the support and sent various pictures of all my settings. They replied in the beginning, but I guess they just decided to give up instead of helping me.. Last reply I sent with all pictures was on 13/07/22.. Case: 0994000000609

Can't turn off background location (or rather, I did in the app, but I guess the app thinks it knows what I want, better than I do) at least android tells you about this so you know and can decide for yourself if you want to keep the app or not.. For me, that choice is the latter.

I am in a huge traffic jam and the app shows absolutely nothing. Google maps shows red and that E20 it's closed. Been here for almost an hour and your app doesn't show any problem on E20. UPDATE: I un-installed and installed back the app. Now it works.

Consumes a lot of battery in the background. Which is counters its objective as it needs unrestricted battery usage to be effective, otherwise notifications doesn't go through.

It is using an insane amount of battery. I couldn't work out why my battery was down to 66% after 5 hours and this app was using it all.

With this app installed you won't have any battery to call for help if you need it. The idea is pretty neat but the execution is really bad. Uninstalled for increased safety.

Good app that I hope I'll never have to use. Haven't noticed any major battery drain problems with it either.

The app is great and it does its work, but its having a problem recently. It's telling me about location, that I should have it on all the time and I do have it on. Has been that for days now and its annoying.

Horrible. Swedish language only (foreigner can get lost, right?), and stays always on in the background. Burns 38% of my battery per day. And features are minimal. If you have GPS signal to use the app, better stick to Google maps instead.
