Features;

- Settings allow you to require approval before a message is sent.

- Your locale is automatically detected and the correct emergency numbers used.

- Hundreds of countries emergency details are detected.

- Include your location in the SMS message.

Permission breakdown;

-Process outgoing calls

The app needs to be able to detect when an outgoing call is made, so that it can check if you have just dialled the emergency services.

-Read Phone State

A message to your contacts isn't actually sent until you hang up the call to the emergency services. This permission lets the app detect when this happens.

-Send SMS

This is a no brainer. We need this permission to send the SMS messages to your contacts!

-Vibrate

Occasionally, when approval is required to send an SMS and when the results of sending an SMS message become available, the app create a notification. We also make the phone vibrate so you know that this has happened.

-Read Contacts

The app needs this permission to show you a list of contacts to choose from.

-Access Fine Location

This means that we can get your location, which can be included in the messages sent to your contacts.

-Receive notification that the phone has finished booting up

The app periodically checks which country you are in so that it can keep a track of which emergency services numbers it should be listening out for. This permission allows the app to detect when the phone turns on so that it can set itself a reminder to check where you are. Currently, this check happens every 24 hours.

-Internet Access & network state

As part of ensuring that the app works as intended, any crashes are captured and sent to me so that I can see what happened and get a fix in place as soon as possible. This permission allows the app to send the crash information online.
