To all the tin foil hat people, this is Google, they already have all your info, you are using their phone. This is a great app. This is built into iOS, It's not even an app on their side. There is nothing sneaky or under handed about this app. It's great software with no downside.
Good to have
Joey was the Best
A good safety app to keep on your phone for a positive attitude about someone having your back
It's ok
