About Emergency Contacts Alerter Pro
If you ever dial the emergency services, Emergency Contacts Alerter will send your contacts an emergency alert via SMS message.
Features;
- Sends an SMS message to up to 5 pre-selected contacts when a call to the emergency services is made.
- Settings allow you to require approval before a message is sent.
- Your locale is automatically detected and the correct emergency numbers used.
- Hundreds of countries emergency details are detected.
- Include your location in the SMS message.
Permission breakdown;
-Process outgoing calls
The app needs to be able to detect when an outgoing call is made, so that it can check if you have just dialled the emergency services.
-Read Phone State
A message to your contacts isn't actually sent until you hang up the call to the emergency services. This permission lets the app detect when this happens.
-Send SMS
This is a no brainer. We need this permission to send the SMS messages to your contacts!
-Vibrate
Occasionally, when approval is required to send an SMS and when the results of sending an SMS message become available, the app create a notification. We also make the phone vibrate so you know that this has happened.
-Read Contacts
The app needs this permission to show you a list of contacts to choose from.
-Access Fine Location
This means that we can get your location, which can be included in the messages sent to your contacts.
-Receive notification that the phone has finished booting up
The app periodically checks which country you are in so that it can keep a track of which emergency services numbers it should be listening out for. This permission allows the app to detect when the phone turns on so that it can set itself a reminder to check where you are. Currently, this check happens every 24 hours.
-Internet Access & network state
As part of ensuring that the app works as intended, any crashes are captured and sent to me so that I can see what happened and get a fix in place as soon as possible. This permission allows the app to send the crash information online.
