The app works as a fully automated safety check. You can set a check via the app which will trigger at a time specified. If you’re safe and well, just respond to the app to confirm it, and you’re done until the next specified alert time.
On the other hand, if you are, for any reason, unable to respond, then after a set time the app will spring into action, and inform specified emergency contacts that it wasn’t able to confirm that you’re okay, so they can check on you. Depending on location, the app can even be set to inform the local police department about potential safety concerns.
The contacts themselves do not need the Paws QuiVive app, so it’s quite easy to set up.
Taking a trip, or otherwise away from your phone? There’s a Vacation Mode that should pause the alerts for a period of time… to avoid any unnecessary worry from your loved ones.
