Safe2Say PA is an amazing concept, but it was poorly executed. First off, the app looks ancient. The dimensions are too small and it’s very dull. I think a bright, new design would attract more users to the app. Another thing I’m not a big fan of is anonymous reporting. With this system, there is a LOT of potential for prank or fake reports which can be dangerous or not very ‘safe’. (see what I did there?) There should be someway to verify the user and make sure the request is legit. An example could be a student email which can be reached by the school, need be, or a student ID card that has to be uploaded along with the request. (This can allow people monitoring these requests to prove if they are legit.) I think some other finishing touches such as a more easy to navigate home page, or even a number to text instead of call could be a good idea. Finally, I just wanted to add that I do think this is a great idea and a way to keep schools safe, I just think it needs a few changes. 🙂-Review Updated: Fri, December 9th, 2022 @ 6:35 PM EST

I can see this app being very helpful to someone going through a rough time. Especially for teenagers and younger adults when they feel like they have no where to turn. I did have a few problems with the app. It wasn’t very clear on how to access the different features. Also I don’t feel it’s very safe to include users locations. I feel like it invades the users privacy and makes it less anonymous. The last problem was I couldn’t tell what was going to happen after I send a tip or comment. I personally wouldn’t want the police or someone showing up at my house unexpectedly.

I think this app can be very helpful and is a great idea. There are some things that could use improvement however. For example, I think that there should be a home page that expresses what the goal of the app is and how it can save lives. It should also say how important it is to report things when you know of something going on so that people are more inclined to report things. I also think that there should be a little bit more added to the app because right now it is a little basic. It should include more resources on the app such as other phone numbers and hotlines. Finally, I think it should tell you what they are going to do once you report something, so that someone knows exactly what to expect
