Companion: Personal Safety App Reviews

I come home from work very late at night, and as parking is limited in my neighborhood, sometimes I park as much as half a block or more away. I notify a friend that I know is up and he accompanies me virtually until I get home. Then I notify him that Im home and safe. I feel so much safer knowing there someone that will know if I have a problem and call the police, although the app itself will also call the police. Important for anyone who is walking alone and feeling a little nervous about where they are or the time of night. I told all my friends to make sure their kids have it so their kids can let them know when theyre feeling a little nervous about walking somewhere etc. no, the app is not always on and following them around! They have to turn it on, notify the parent or friend, and then turn it off when they get to their destination. I think some people think that its watching them all the time; it only is when you want it to. I have friends in other countries that have their kids use it and it works well for them as well.

This app is very good. The only thing I would really like to have is to change between walking and driving.

This app is wonderful! I really like the fact that its free. Compared to Safe Trek, this app is 10x better. Its free and you dont need to worry about possibly releasing the alarm. Also, your friends can track you rather than a virtual person. Love, love, love this app!! 10/10!!

I use this app when I go running late at night. I feel so much more safe with this app

This app is great and makes me feel safe when I feel worried or in trouble

I love this app. Its super accurate, and I once tested it, crossing a street multiple times and making designs-does a spectacular job of tracking your route. It also tracks speed and motion, and if it seems like youre going faster than usual/nervous, it will ask you to confirm you are okay or else it will contact your companion. This app has made my boyfriend and I feel much more secure when I travel alone at night and I feel its necessary for anyone who walks alone to be safer.

The new update is night and day. The reliability and ease of use is similar to uber. I have never read a description that so vividly and accurately captures the user friendly functionally of the app in harmony with its good hearted values on display. We should cherish these apps that leverage technology to empower us all to live safer more comfortable lives!

This app is just amazing. Its interface is smooth and everything works as it should. The tracking is great and always works. I love it, it makes me feel safe and comfortable all the time whenever I walk, ride a bike, or Im in the car.

I use this every time I leave a bar, go on a night walk alone, or feel unsafe and it makes me feel comforted and people I just left or I am meeting also feel comforted knowing I am safe. This is an awesome app and I would recommend it to absolutely everyone.

I love to use this app while my friends and I walk home. This app makes my feel so much safer.

So Im new to the app, I havent actually had to use the I feel nervous or call the police. But I guess the only problem I see with the app is that I dont know whether the other person is watching me or not? If theyre not on the app it all comes through like a text message and they may or may not view it? Correct me if Im wrong. But I do think the app is brilliant! I love it so far.

As a mother, I like the fact that my kids can find help quickly and accurately. Can a similar ap be created for drivers? My mother sometimes gets disoriented on the highways. The hands free version, of course.

Love this newest version of this safety app. Its seamless and spot on. Our College student uses almost everyday. Great job on this updated version! Love the separated touch for Im nervous or call police. Very user friendly. Excellent !

This is such an amazing idea, and I feel much safer when Im traveling anywhere.

You get what you paid for. Its eh.

Didnt get a chance to use the app, because it keeps crashing. Great concept though!

Does not work. I put in my location and it crashes. :(

Very glad the app has been updated. The new interface is amazing and extremely easy to use. I tend to use companion 1-2 times per week when I leave the library or bar when Im not with friends.

This app gives me a sense of safety. I do not live in the best town so to know that someone knows where I am when Im by myself!

Trying to figure out how to use this. Typed in an address. But after I select the auto fill address and press return, it wont return back to the map. Just stays on the search address page with a blurred background. And cant figure out how to add a companion (contact) to escort me to my location. I have went through the "how it works" instructions several times. Nothing to answer or fix the questions. Please help
