Is anyone using this app? It looks like a great idea, just wondering if it is worth the $2.99
There was a rumour a few years ago that paramedics etc look on phones found at crash/emergency sites for phonebook entries with ICE.
Seemed like a good idea - but no idea if it's common knowledge.
NREMT-P here....Usually we just grab and run...The ER staff usually looks tho...
Hey redflea,
does this app take over the lock screen or sit on it? ie: Can I keep whatever wallpaper I already have? Does it still show pct charged when you plug phone in?
All: Thanks so much for the interest in my app: ICE: In Case of Emergency (Appventive)
Sorry I haven't followed up sooner. While I do visit this forum almost daily, I didn't actually run across this thread until just now.
Just to answer a few questions:
(1) yes, one big advantage of this app is that you can use it while the phone is pattern locked
(2) while not all first responders will think of it, or have to time to look, I have had a LOT of extremely positive feedback from many ER nurses, paramedics, and LEO's. Read the feedback in the ratings comments for some of it. You can also read testimonials from some people who have actually used our app in an emergency at the link above.
(3) the ICE lock screen uses whatever wallpaper you use for your home screen.
(4) regarding the text not being legible on the ICE lock screen: you have complete control over this. From the lock screen, just press MENU/'Set test-box opacity' -- 100% opaque is alway legible (but some level of transparency may look nicer without sacrificing legibility).
Please let me know if you have any questions.
All the best,
Steve
There does appear to be a problem on the droid since the 2.01update there is a 5 second tiMe out on the lock screen, and I can't find a way to change it. So you can only have about a 2s delay on the screen appearing..
When the ice screen does appear the time out is still in force so the screen keeps blanking. Looks like google has messed a few things up for you.
