What the Users Are Saying...
US APP STORE
Nice emergency app.
Much more inclusive than the usual flashlight type app. Includes other things such as SOS signals. There is also a guide that explains how and what kind of emergency signals to use. I would recommend adding an emergency guide that tells you what to do on hiking/camping/etc emergencies, such as for snake bites, broken bones- how to do an emergency splint, or how to start a campfire without matches or a lighter.
Quite Nice.
This is a pretty useful little app, and I found it to be more polished than some other distress signal apps.
Why Should You Get It?
It does not depend on internet, so you can access it anytime, anywhere on your devices.
Great utility like Morse Code comes together inside this app!
Continuously improved and added features in the future!
It is cheap, at USD1.99.
Ad-free forever. Even my free apps are ad-free!
