3.9 out of 5, based on 522 reviews.
What people like
- Helped contact emergency services very quickly.
- Precise location helped friends guide rescuers.
- Simple and easy to use interface.
- Great for sharing exact GPS coordinates.
- Includes helpful CPR refresher guides.
What they complain about
- App crashes immediately when you open it.
- Location data is often inaccurate or wrong.
- Calls to emergency services just drop out.
- Red text on black background is hard to read.
- Critical info is buried deep in menus.
Easy and accurate
The recent update has given the app a nice clean, easy to use front screen. I haven’t had to use it in an emergency as yet. Being an occasional grey nomad I often promote the app amongst other travellers.
Wrong suburb
Has me in another suburb and glitched and put me 4 streets away not great for a life saving app
Hard to read Latitude
Only one complaint . The latitude is in red on a black background and is hard for me to read. I’m red/green colour blind but my wife (not colour blind) also says it’s dull. I suggest you either reuse the blue or use a neutral colour like light green.
dangerous app
you want an emergency team to come to your home? Good luck with that! Test on my home showed address in a street 100 metres away,and a house number range ot 18 ie:accuracy within 100 m radius Wierd, as pin on map was accurately on my house,so software issues,not gps Not reliable Therefore dangerous
Font colours in app
Opened app 1st time on trails. As a red green colour blind male, I found it very difficult to read the red text on a black background. Otherwise great idea.
Absolutely fundamental
This app should be mandatory for smart phone users.
Crashes
App crashes seconds after opening it which is really dangerous if people rely on it in an emergency.
Works well
Can you add the ability to copy and paste the GPS location from the app to be used in an SMS or email?
Great idea
It is a great idea, but I would like to use it on my iWatch and it doesn’t seem to be compatible. Am I wrong? Can use be fixed?
Feature request
Allow GPS coordinates to be copied. Would be very useful with Telstra Starlink SMS
Top safety app
Great app so simple to use definitely a lifesaver would like to have an option to add my contact person.
What happened
My wife was bitten by a snake two weeks ago. During the 150km drive to the hospital, I used the Emergency + app to call 000. The call simply dropped out. I called 000 instead from my keypad. Didn’t really inspire me with confidence in the app.
Great idea - COLOURS NEED WORK
The app provides a great long for position and helpful refresher (eg CPR) but the colours need to be changeable - the deep read (eg for Latitude) is almost unreadable.
Good concept but let down by inaccurate GPS locations
This app would be a great deal more reliable and useful if you could store addresses, such as your home, work, etc. Perhaps you regularly visit a place where you feel vulnerable, such as car park, pedestrian tunnel, etc. If you could store those locations and easily select the right one, perhaps suggested by GPS proximity, when you accessed the app, then this app would serve its purpose much better.
What 3 words no longer displayed
Since the update this week what 3 words is no longer displayed as a location option. Can only see ///.
Will this work on my iPad?
It’s the 2018 model 4, with 15.8.3 software. I don’t have a Smartphone and have been told I won’t be able to make Emergency calls on my 4G feature phone after the 3G network is shut down, which is incomprehensible to me. I think this is a great app. Hope I can use it.
Another 000 failure
How many lives lost? Not backwards compatible for earlier operating systems defeats its fundamental purpose. Who approved this change?????? No longer functional.
Attach emergency vehicles to app once available
Hello Team, I know emergency vehicles are tracked, can you add the attached vehicle when it is the persons turn in que. Maybe, also show all additional call outs on screen, it’s the only way to get more vehicles and operators in service. People need to see how many vehicles there are and how many call outs they attend, or are needing too attend turned on including the person using the apps
Needs Amber Alerts & Apple Watch Support.
As a former emergency responder, I think ‘Emergency Plus’ is a fantastic idea, and I especially like that the application can automatically display one’s exact location using multiple methods, with varying degrees of accuracy. The application does need a fair bit of work however. Firstly, there is “critical” information deep within the menu that many people would not know are even there… For example, to find the ‘CPR guides’ and ‘fire alerts’, one must click the three lines in the top-left corner, followed by clicking ‘More Information’ and then finally, the drop-down arrow next to either ‘Royal Life Saving’ or ‘Fire Alerts’. This is way too many steps to access “critical” information during an emergency and to be honest, most people probably wouldn’t even realise that they could find “critical” information like this deep in the menu. It would also be nice to see ‘Apple Watch’ support integrated. Just about everybody has an Apple Watch these days and adding support for these products would not only allow callers to use ‘Emergency Plus’ independently (i.e. when their smartphone is not physically with them), but it would also make the process of talking to emergency personnel easier (e.g. callers can refer to their Apple Watch for location information without needing to drop their smartphone away from their ear). Things like fire alerts could also be delivered to one’s Apple Watch product in real-time, even if their smartphone is not physically with them at the time. I also don’t understand why there is no support for ‘Amber Alerts’ whatsoever. I rarely know when ‘Amber Alerts’ have been issued, because I don’t listen to commercial radio or watch commercial television, and I don’t use social media, so the only time I know there’s an ‘Amber Alert’ active is if I just happen to drive past one of the dynamic road signs (i.e. the LED road signs that change)… If this application supported ‘Amber Alerts’ or better yet, supported ‘Amber Alerts’ AND ‘Apple Watch’ products, I could be notified in real-time whenever an ‘Amber Alert’ is active. Another important feature which is lacking is support for notifications and by integrating such functionality, ‘Emergency Plus’ could deliver real-time notifications for Amber Alerts or emergencies (accidents, natural disasters, severe storms etc…) to anybody in the affected area… As with other (third-party) applications, users could optionally permit their location to be shared in the background, to fine-tune the delivery of such notifications. ‘Emergency Plus’ is an invaluable application to install on one’s smartphone, but it still has lots of rough edges and to be honest, it almost feels like a beta (“draft”) application… Whilst I’m sceptical, it would be nice to see this application updated to address these criticisms.
CPR - no audio
I can’t get the audio to work on my iPad or iPhone for all 3 royal life saving CPR videos
i reccomend downloading!
this app helped me contact 000 swiftly when i needed it earlier today. i highly suggest this app to everyone as it is very useful in contacting the service you need quickly.
ios 18+ :(
luckily never needed to use this app, and glad i opened it before i did. unfortunately the app is unusable unless you have ios 18, as it crashes seconds after opening. sure it’s great but not scooping out a thousand dollars for a new phone.
Please make the screen flash
Great app 4.5 ⭐️ What can make it a 5⭐️ is the addition of a metronome in the app to help with CPR cadence. A flashing screen would be so much easier.
Please update
GPS needs to have bigger text if you have lost your glasses there’s no way you can read the coordinates atm
Absolutely a must have
I recently had a motorcycle accident on a dirt road in the middle of nowhere. Knowing I had a broken leg I needed help ASAP. Calling 000 and using the Emergency Plus App my friends were able to guide Emergency services to our precise location. Within 60 minutes I was receiving the help I needed and was airlifted to the nearest Hospital. I'll never travel anywhere without the latest version of this app. Greater than Five Stars!
App crashes after opening
The app keeps crashing after a few seconds of being opened. Any rectification? 1 star only because I cannot use it!
Amazing but needs watchOS
As someone who was in scouts and was a leader this app is an amazing development in Emergency Communication. It may have even been able to have MFS attend a fire a person died quicker due to confusing entry points. The only issue I find is it should have a watchOS companion app. This would allow use while out exercising, or even quicker access if the phone is say in a bag or something.
Promoted to class
I have promoted this to a class but think it should be available to more devices. For example, the iPad and browser. I assume it has to do with maintaining the full functionality of the application.
Great app
This app looks great. We were made aware of it in a first aid class. My instructor suggested that having a list of where the defibrillators are around you in the app would be really helpful, too. Maybe in the next update? Thanks!
Grandma
Yes you can open the app but why can’t you save it to your Home Screen!
Closed captions
Haven’t had need of the app and hopefully never will but it looks great. Love that NRS link has been added for Deaf & Hard of Hearing individuals. All you need now is to add closed captions to your CPR videos 👍🏽
Please add copy function. Missing function!
Can you please add a copy icon/function so we can copy location details into a text message, email, etc. It’s an obvious feature that’s needed please! Thank you.
Medications
Would be good to have a list of the person’s medications to communicate with emergency services.
App not working on iPhone 8
With the recent problems with apple iPhone 8 it seems that this app may not function. Each time I open it now it closes down
Link to AED location map needed
A link the the automatic external defibrillator location map by NSW gov would be very handy on this app.
Great app, but why is it orange?
In my panic I tried to look for this app but swiped past it a good few times as it looked like a bunch of other apps I have. Maybe needs a redesign, like blue and white checkers, which is far more recognisable to the brain especially in panic mode?
Great app!
This is a great app. It would be even better if we were able to nominate it to not be archived to the cloud automatically if not used.. because you don’t need it, until you do!
Crashes upon opening
Crashes within seconds of opening the app… so not all that useful in an emergency
Must have app. Excellent
Would be great to see public AED locations included in the app
Needs Defib locator
Great app but seriously lacking without defib locator. There are other apps for this in WA and TAS but I can’t find one for NSW that is easy to use
Excellent app
Would love app to include metronome for CPR rate. Doing CPR while waiting for ambulance can save lives but doing it at correct number of compressions is necessary.
Crashing
App crashing within 3 seconds of opening it
Beware what3words
Caution when reading out what 3 words over a phone to emergency services: their word list has similar sounding and pluralized words that may be misread by the operator and there are many examples of positions several km away with similar sounding names. There is security research on this topic. I would suggest incorporating other open source position readout protocols with better core technology.
