I like the ability to put in personal information and have safety checks from my phone, but you really need to allow people to add the icon to their home screen, which I'm currently unable to do. I have to first go into my phone settings then app listings to open up the app, or go into the Google Play store. That's way too many steps if you are in an emergency situation.

After OS update, this little jewel started randomly calling 911. It's happened 4 times today. After the 1st, it got stuck in a 10 minute reboot loop. I thought my phone was broken and reached out to my boss. Happy New Year! I can't access anything. The 2nd time, it froze the phone and I had to power it down. Now it's happened again at 1AM. UNACCEPTABLE. Also? if I was in actual trouble and needed a discreet way to notify someone, a shrill alarm sure isn't going to do me any favors.

App update disables car crash detection on devices where the app was side loaded and previously worked. I was in an accident and the app immediately alerted that it was preparing to call emergency services. To outright disable a feature that worked on my device, an app that has the potential to save lives, just because it wasn't a Pixel phone and mark it as "incompatible" is outrageous.
