Ratings and Reviews
Doesn’t keep you logged in - expects you to keep it open constantly
I love the idea of the app, but sadly it doesn’t keep you logged in anymore unless you leave it open and don’t force close it otherwise it logs you out!
You use this app in emergencies, so you need to be able to use the app quickly!
If you can’t keep us logged in if we close the app, then add biometrics.
We need to be able to use the app QUICKLY!
We can’t be expected to keep it open all the time.
I contacted them and they said this is by design…
If you force close, reboot or update your phone, you need to open the app and keep background app refresh on, otherwise it logs you out!
My bank apps can log me into the their apps in seconds, but this app has no biometrics.
Not good as if you need to use the app, you need quick access!
Can’t be having to keep it open just in case, using your batter none stop with background app refresh too.
Use biometrics if you can’t keep us logged in.
No reason why we choice have to keep the app physically open constantly, just in case you need it in an emergency.
Not just keep it open but have background app refresh too, which does add to battery draining, but also is over the top for an app you only use in an emergency.
Security doesn’t mean logging people out. Use biometrics if you want to make people log in and can’t keep us logged in.
I’m now looking at alternatives sadly.
Okay, but free and better options are out there
I downloaded Hollie after seeing it on my
local news, and after Sarah Everard’s disappearance. Immediately as I opened the app, I was hit with a “pay £80 to be extra safe” screen, and I immediately wanted to uninstall it. However, my friend had added me as an emergency contact, and I felt I had to do the same, so I kept it around. Fast forward two weeks and I feel unsafe walking through town, I couldn’t get it open fast enough. In the time it took for me to open it, login, enter my pin and start an alert, the man following me had passed me.
It’s an okay app, and a good idea, but it’s kinda exploitative and not as good as free apps out there.
