Great for Running at Night
StetsonMeadow
I use this app every time I go running at night. It's a great running aid since I already have my phone on me and it makes me feel safer knowing I can have someone watching my route. I've tried using Garmin's "LiveTrack" for the same purpose while running but it doesn't give you the option to send notifications saying I feel nervous or to quickly call the police. Garmin just shares your gps route and running stats. Unfortunately, I did give Companion 3 stars for one crucial issue which I hope gets fixed soon: I used the "I Feel Nervous" notifier for the first time tonight while running. I was approaching an uncomfortable situation and thought it best to notify my circle. After pressing the big button at the bottom of the map, it took me to another box that asked me to confirm my action. Unfortunately, the font was so small that I had to focus for what felt like far too long to read what it was asking me. I wish the app just made two big boxes saying "YES" and "CANCEL." Then, again, after pressing "Confirm" it jumped to another box (with font of the same size) telling me my companions had been notified and I had to press "OK" to get back to the map screen. Since the third box looked the same as the Confirm box I found myself reading through both while in an uncomfortable situation. **I realized in the moment how unsettling I felt keeping my eyes on my screen for so long in a potentially-serious situation. Additionally, after I had passed the scene and felt safe again I found myself not knowing how to tell my circle I'm okay. I know Companion just recently added a chat box feature, but I have not found out how to use it while in an active tracking. It would be nice to be able to send a quick message to everyone saying that all is good now and maybe explain the situation. Instead, but thankfully, I received multiple phone calls of my circle checking on me.
Haven't used it yet but what a great concept!

Needs the ability to add companions or invite companions after the initial setup is complete. Only way to add more companions is to start a trip. But they won't have the app setup themselves yet if I wait that long. Please add a way to invite other companions ahead of time. Edit: Thank you for listening to your reviewers! They added this feature and apple watch integration!
So far, so good
Achauuuu
Just downloaded this app and for what I am looking for it is perfect. It alerts your loved ones of where you are trying to go so they can track your trip to ensure you arrive safely to your destination even if they don't have the app.
Lots of bugs

I like the designs and the ideas of this app. But I've been experimenting different malfunctions since I downloaded this app a few days ago. First I found that my companion couldn't locate me when we were in a call. And today I requested my companion to follow me in the app and he doesn't get the request. Btw this happens EVERY TIME when I try to request them to follow me. I had to constantly quit the trip and redo it. And then after my app showed me my friend followed me, my friend told me he's not getting any request and he's not following me. So the app basically told me yeah we got your back when it actually didn't. And then the weirdest thing happened, my app started to end the trip automatically when I'm clearly very far away from my destination and I didn't end the trip myself. I like this app but all these bugs just made it into a joke. It's supposed to keep you safe, but with these bugs, you just can't take it seriously, can't count on it. Please try to fix these issues and I would really appreciate your work.
I feel so safe!

This app is amazing. It is so much more accurate than Find My Friends and gives me options to alert my loved ones or the police. Absolutely love this app. Download immediately.
No stars

Application cannot accurately depict travel time for long distance route. Constant error cannot map route cannot get travel time. Junk app waste of time and space certainly a waste of my personal information.
App stopped working

It was woworking fine about a week or two ago now all of a sudden you keep saying that the location I'm trying to go to isn't precise and it won't let me switch any of the options because they all say the same thing
