Yes, I hope everything does work out. As for the app, it is a scary thought
that if they did go defunct, people may be paying the automatic subscription
and they won't realize that the service won't work until they have to set
one off for real. The impression I get is that the demo function basically
tests for cellular/network connectivity and GPS, but it doesn't raise a test
alarm. I might have to look for something else. They could also be only
allowing current subscribers to continue with it or the newer iOS versions
since 2010 could've broken parts of it.

Try the app called Blue Light, which sounds like it does the same thing,
allowing you to contact the nearest EMS services. When I got it it was free
but there may be a subscription now. The app is very accessible, though
there may be more exploring involved in the initial sign-up screens.
Good luck,
Wayne

I found this personal safety app on AppleVis called OnCallDefender. It
is like a panic button for your phone that lets some kind of
monitoring company know you need help in those situations one hopes
will never happen. I may potentially be starting a job some time in
the new year if all goes well, and walking home in the dark around 9
at night might be part of what I have to do for awhile until the
earlier shift opens up. . My apartment is only around 4 street
crossings away from there, but safety is something I think about, but I'm
not worried enough to say no to the offer if it comes my way.
I tried to create an account and subscribe to this thing, presumably
through an iTunes subscription, but all I get is the alert sound with
the screen staying the same. In looking at the app store entry, the
app hasn't been updated since 2010, and it is advertised to be
compatible with phones of that era. I am running iOS 9.2 on an iPhone
6. I tried doing the explore by touch thing to try to get to the
fields to fill out to no avail. I have also tried restarting VO to get
it to refresh its model of the screen, and that did nothing either.
How can I make this thing let me sign up? Even though their site is
still online, I have a small suspicion they killed it since the
Applevis review was posted last year. Are there any similarly priced
services with apps that are accessible that are still providing this
kind of service? The demo part I did see looks tricky to actually
activate because getting a tripple tap passed through VO correctly reminds
me of the child-proof containers we are probably all glad we couldn't open
as kids.
