Companion: Personal Safety app good for
I love this app and all of its features, but none of the buttons elements are labelled for voiceover excess ability. As a result, blind users, like myself, are unable to deactivate or prevent the automated alarm. Otherwise, its perfect!
It has all the right features, and I have used it on multiple occasions. The alert mode is great, and I have actually used it to save my life. A must have for anyone waking around Kate at night.
This app is a complete necessity! Everyone should download this app, no matter their age. Walking alone is always a scary thought, and Companion allows its users to walk alone with no worries or fear - Companion users always know there is someone watching them walking home in order to make sure they arrive at their destination safely. I 100% encourage everyone to download this app! Share it with your parents, your children, and your friends!
I use it every night that I come home late and it works like a dream
Great idea! Hope bugs get worked out but one should not rely on just one app for safety. The first defense is always self defense. There needs to be an Apple Watch version too. It would work great on that!
Great updates! I think this is the best idea for those of us who walk daily!
Some bad moments
app doesnt update my location to the link
phone had data i know through other apps but it didnt update companion web link
The app wont let me follow my friends when they add me as a companion. Please fix!
My friend introduced me to companion because she wanted me to be her buddy, and she told me how much safer she felt knowing I was keeping watch.
One night, I decided to use it on a 4 block walk in downtown Los Angeles. My friend messaged me, "I dont see you."
Turns out that the app told her I got to the destination already when in fact I had just left my car. I got to my destination safely thankfully, but that is a very dangerous bug.
This app is a great idea, but until it is fixed, I think it is more dangerous because it gives a false sense of security.
I wanted this app to see if my kids where ok and set it up and my daughter set it up also it dosent work...
Too unreliable - if you genuinely have an emergency this app isnt going to help
Registration impossible, process blocking on gender selection.
App seriously crashing every single time on iOS 7.
Great concept, though...
