See what users say about us:

★★★★★ - “I work as a lobbyist in downtown DC, my daughter was home (30 minutes outside of DC) and my husband was at work in Fairfax City (45 minutes out). I was in a cab, so didn't even know the earthquake had happened until I got a panicked call from home, where it was much stronger, and pulled up at my building to see everyone streaming out. I used the app to let my husband know I was fine and I used the app to figure out where my husband was and since we couldn't communicate easily, it was how I knew when he was able to head home and the progress he was making. Also told my daughter to use the app so she could track my progress home in all the traffic leaving downtown since it was very difficult to communicate via cell and even the texts were very delayed.” - Melissa

★★★★★ - “Very useful. It's nice knowing where someone is when they are unavailable to answer the phone. Keeps you from worrying all night.” - Darryl

★★★★★ - “This app is fantastic and haven't had any issues with it thus far. It's pretty accurate with the GPS locations, too. My daughter knows it's on her phone, and actually thinks it's neat that she can see where I'm at, too. (There's also rules in place, she won't tinker with this app unless she wants to lose her phone.) Two of the biggest features I love about this app is the Check In and the Panic features, and the map icons that show sex offenders, hospitals, police and fire departments. Truly amazing app!” - NoNameFace
