Emergency Button
Free AppAbout Emergency Button
Define a phone number and/or an email address and whenever you press the big red button, the distress signal will be sent out to these recipients along with your GPS/Network location (a google maps link) and a personalized message.
If you or a loved one ever walk through a dark alley, travel abroad or just need to alert someone of your whereabouts - this button will simplify explaining exactly where you are. Help can come faster and within GPS accuracy.
Emergency Button will only work if you're in a place with reception to at least send the SMS text message or email.
The widget can be added to your homescreen by home->menu button->add->Widgets->Emergency. The widget has 2 buttons and you have to press both within 5 seconds to make the app fire the distress signal. The double button is designed to minimize false positives.

You must make alternative communications arrangements to ensure that you can make emergency calls if needed.

SERIOUS ERROR The time is local, not UTC as stated. OTHER Like many others, I would like to be able to send the message to more than one destination. John

Not so healthy person .,. great 2 ICE, EMERGENCY CONTACT, as no need to use contact list, quick and easy one touch.. Also good as the EMERGENCY CONTACT can speak to doctors or people with you, and explain what they need to do to make you better., and treat you.

Great. A two-click widget for my wife to use in a crisis. It satisfies the golden rule of KIS (keep it simple).

It works but I am unable to add more than one contact, I need to add multiple contacts. If this was an option I would pay for it.

only 1 email address and 1 sms alert for free is NOT ENOUGH (there re plenty of other apps out there with more than that for free). Keeps on running on the background consuming RAM. GPS address wrong by 500 mts. what about giving me emergency numbers of different countries and alerts also for g+, facebook, twitter, etc.

Should definitely bring back the previous version of a two button tap activation, that version had the right design as the idea is to be able to activate quickly during an emergency - this new design has too many prompts (before sending a message) which defeats the purpose of an emergency button altogether. The two button design was what made it better than other emergency apps available, this new design has lost that advantage and has made it just like all the other apps. The screenshot still shows a two-button activation widget - which is misleading.

Works perfectly on my Droid. More contacts are needed as one may be in closer proximity to one over the other or the level of ones expertise. Patricia

I need to be able to set sender email address instead of using application's email. It is a privacy issue. Hope you understand.

Always shows same WRONG location when location found! Can only send to mobile phone number and I need to contact my home. Conceptually - being a recovering heart patient I would love to have it use GPS and Landline phone numbers.. I will watch for any feature improvements. Thanks for your efforts to date.

In Case of EMERGENCY CONTACT as no need to use contact list, quick and easy one touch.. Also good as can speak to doctors or people with you, and explain what they need to do to make you better., and treat you. However option to add extra Alarm number/contact don't work.
