Fade: fall detector

Practically speaking this failed even basic tests. Did NOT detect falls when device was locked (which it pretty much always would be!). Took two minutes for a sms from my phone back to my own phone to come through. Release notes mention email services moved to an internal server of authors. Why would you want that?! Send email from configured provider on phone. If you trust the health and life of your relative to some free email server of unknown reliability and no SLA you can literally get someone killed..

Painfully dated, awkward and limited interface. Hasn't been updated in years and it shows. Not senior-friendly in the least.

So far ok. Just can't tell it I am ok. Have to kill the app. Also no way to control detect tone sound level. I will give it a 5 when these are corrected. I am disabled and hard of hearing.

Works as described, this app is also useful to alerting you should your phone be dropped without your being aware. The only issue that I have is the "The I'm OK" button not working for me. This is easy enough to overcome by closing and reopening the app.

Won't work says can't detect fall due to Display setting horizontal xyz. I go to where it directs me, but nothing is there for horizontal. So the first setting isn't configured. Why is this? What am I missing?

Am I missing something? In the description doesn't it say it will give a location of the person who has fallen, I can't see this, not even on the email. Also it says it will automatically turn on the loud speaker of the fallen phone but it doesn't seem to do this either. It would be perfect if it would do these 2 things. Overall a good app though.

GOOD APP. i love it. Need more settin feature required to use in commercial use. Like custome mail server setting. Inform to custome webserver through api. Alaram desible throug server or push notification. I not get email to my mailbox. Also auto start service after fall detection notification send

Well all i can say is every time iv had a fall since i installed this it has actually sent a text to my carer!!! So it does work!!!

I like this app. It's been one of the best out of the fall detectors I've tried. I wish it would allow you to have multiple contacts you could add. I wish it would also allow you to change the priority of which method it tries to contact first. I would like to receive a text/email first so I know where the location is.

Can you develope for samsung gear S3 smartwatch...sometimes i dint have my phone when I fall, but always have my watch, great job!!!

Too much false alarm... Need to improve

Does not work on Google Pixel XL

Despite restarting the phone and reinstalling the app, all I get is a message in the top right saying 'Service stopped'. No hint as to what.

The app registers the fall but doesn't trigger the alarm.. Shame, this is exactly what I was looking for

From RelativeLayout to LinearLayout. Good job QA testers.

Calibration fails

Works well

Good job people

Broke my Samsung Galaxy S4 mini trying to get this to work. From smacking it on my hand, the dining room table to throwing it across the room. Graph shows movement, but no call or sms. Won't be installing on my new phone. Will look for a program that works.

bug : it send sms when i shake it .

I've thrown it on the couch to test it while in "motorcycle" mode and it detected an accident. I wish I could edit the messages it will send.

hi, this is a great apps..i m currently doing a almost same apps with this apps, but i dont know how many threshold i should set on the apps..

Either overly sensitive or not sensitive enough. Tried it on both my S3 and my S5. After a few hours of experimenting I'm afraid I have to uninstall from both.

So far ok. Just can't tell it I am ok. Have to kill the app. Also no way to control detect tone sound level. I will give it a 5 when these are corrected. I am disabled and hard of hearing.

It has good potential. But it has few drawbacks that makes it not ready for emergency. At least not for elderly. 1. It does not restart on system restart. 2. It stops detecting after one detection. 3. It send message to only one person.

I have a spinal injury and this so far as I've tested works. I feel safer trying to walk without an assistant

Calibration fails

It sends a text correctly and attempts the phone call, but a robo-female voice says "Could not complete your call. Please try again" This is on an Android/Google Nexus 5.

Practically speaking this failed even basic tests. Did NOT detect falls when device was locked (which it pretty much always would be!). Took two minutes for a sms from my phone back to my own phone to come through. Release notes mention email services moved to an internal server of authors. Why would you want that?! Send email from configured provider on phone. If you trust the health and life of your relative to some free email server of unknown reliability and no SLA you can literally get someone killed..

I agree with Aaron. Good idea though...

I love the app.. but I can't really use it yet. I want to use it for my grandmother, but she does not really know how a smartphone works and she forgets/does not know how to startup this app and activate it. I need this app to have a option to auto start when the smartphone starts up and to activate/arm itself automaticly. My grandmother should only need know how to charge it and how to turn the smartphone on. Who can I contact about this?

I'm sharing with all my friends and doctors The green squiggly line is fascinating My new security blanket Thanking the developer Wish I had it a week earlier. Very sensitive, even on low setting.

However, using Samsung Galaxy Note 3 there is a couple of issues. False activations trying to get phone out of bags pockets etc is a pain. Can you get this to work with galaxy gear watch. Then even whilst phone is charging or drug induced somnambulance is covered?

You need the ability to set the recovery sensitivity, I only have to rock my phone slightly to deactivate it and being a motorcyclist this could easily be falsely disabled by writhing in pain.
