UrSafe: Safety & Security App

I've used this app for several years, but it is majorly glitching right now. When I access a Zoom link, it goes to this app. I have Zoom calls every day and can't afford any blocks to Zoom. I paid for a subscription because I am traveling in Malaysia, but I have deleted the app for the third and final time. Too bad because URSafe worked great since I originally subscribed in 2021, but I can't keep fighting it. If you fix the glitches, I may reconsider, but not with these issues.

I am a 911 operator and tested the 911 calling feature PLEASE DO NOT TEST YOURSELF! I am giving the app one star for not explaining this better. If you have it set to auto call emergency services it will announce "calling 911". In certain unsafe situations this may not be wise. Turning off automatic call, SOS opens your phone dialer with 911 already dialed, you just have to hit send. If you need to contact 911 silently, text to 911 may be a better option, check availability in your area.

Really love the app. I'm a delivery driver, so it's helpful to have an app just in case something goes wrong. Going to various neighborhoods that I'm not familiar with sometimes makes me a bit uneasy. The app allows a follow me feature, in case I'm feeling that I could be in a potentially dangerous environments, where it text my set emergency contacts a link of my location in increments of time I set (every 2 minutes, every 5 minutes, etc.). There is a Safe Word feature I like that allows me to set a unique phrase that's not common in conversation, that can't be easily recognized as me calling for help, that immediately activates the SOS feature that notifies my loved ones of my location (via text), starts a video live stream (set emergency contacts are sent a text with a link to view the video live stream), repeats my name, location and contact information out loud, which to me is equivalent to screaming for help, giving those around me vital information to assist me, it then dials authorities and has a feature set to actually call authorities automatically if you set the safe word. In our society with this new gig economy where so many gig drivers are being injured, murdered, raped, stalked, this is very helpful. This definitely gives me a piece of mind, for myself, and also for my younger siblings that go out and about in newer environments and my elders, who are elderly and suffer from dementia, and end up in random environments and need love ones to know that they are where they should be, and are safe.
