| 2024-09-16 |  | | 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. |
| 2024-08-16 |  | | 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. |
| 2024-07-07 |  | | 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. |
| 2024-07-02 |  | | Very good but I wish there was an english option. |
| 2024-04-20 |  | | 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 |
| 2024-02-21 |  | | 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. |
| 2023-01-14 |  | | Says it doesn't work properly if it cannot log location at all times. Which drains the battery. Has to uninstall. |
| 2022-10-15 |  | | 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. |
| 2022-08-15 |  | | 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 |
| 2022-05-15 |  | | 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. |
