The features on this app are super innovative, but they are glitchy and underdeveloped. This is a really notable flaw: The Expect Me and Time to Leave features don’t let me pick the number under the contact I choose. For instance, I have 4 different numbers in my contact for my mom, and the app would automatically choose my mom’s work landline. The text feature is obviously not compatible with a landline! And she’s not at work all the time! I wouldn’t be able to talk to my own mother through this app at night! I was trying to check out the Angel Drink feature while testing the app, and it kicked me out of the Angel Drink explanation screen and straight into the feature. I was able to figure out what the feature is for, but it doesn’t let me get back into the explanation screen even after restarting the app. Also, I kept trying to go back to the home screen, and it would go to the home screen for a split second, then back to the previous screen I was on. It did this multiple times until I restarted the app.

Super useful

This app has been really useful. My partner and I use it all the time when we go out to make sure that the other one gets home safe! Same with my friends. Thankfully I have never had to use time to leave or angle drink but my other friends have and they says it’s been useful! I highly recommend downloading this app!
Amazing resource for NH college students!

Every student in New Hampshire should have this on their phone. I have (sadly) often had to use the "Time To Leave" feature to get people to leave me alone at the bar. The detailed resources that are specific to MY school are helpful. This App NEEDS to be available in more states, I have wanted to help a friend who is out of state before but there are only NH resources.
Awesome app! Awesome features!

Simply amazing app! This app is awesome as it creates a space where victims of sexual violence feel comfortable using various features to obtain help. It provides information as well as features that can help people during uncomfortable situations. Super easy to use and navigate. I love the icons for the various features witching there app. Extremely straight forward and useful.
