Flare - Personal Protection

Was initially ok now crashes, loses activities and doesn’t credit earned Sweatcoin. I got for the tracking g which now works sometimes. Not worth paying for at all in my view

This app duplicates functionality seen in WatchOS. I downloaded it simply to earn sweatcoin. However this simply isn’t worth the hassle. I went for my usual walk this afternoon and Flare alarmed twice in 10 minutes. What caused this alarm you may ask? Well, the slight movement of my phone in my shorts pocket was detected as an incident. After this occurred for a second time I deleted the app. When the usefulness of an app is outweighed by it’s annoying implementation it won’t last long on my phone. At minimum this feature should be able to be disabled or at the very least the user should be able to set the sensitivity of the incident detection. In its present form I cannot recommend this rather poorly designed app!

Love this app, I use it to keep an eye on my kids when they go bike riding in the woods. Battery usage is great 2% in two hours

I have used the app for a while, and while I haven’t used it in amber (thankfully), it seems to work fine. However, last few days it seems to be draining my phone battery running in the background when the app has not been opened. Force quitting, the battery drained the following day too. Had to delete it, unfortunately!

I first heard about Flare (Busby) some time ago from the founder but thought it was only for cyclists, however, after further investigation it’s a technology that I believe everyone should install and use every day. From my perspective (as a father of four), two of whom are early teens, this technology gives me the piece of mind in knowing they can let me know if they are vulnerable or feeing unsafe. Also, if they are out on their bikes and are involved in an accident / impact then again I would be alerted and can get help to them quickly. For anyone who enjoys outdoor activities then again this app will literally save lives. If you come off your bike or are involved in a fall and god forbid you are alone (maybe even unconscious) then Flare is activated using the sensors in your phone to trigger an alert to your loved ones. Another cool feature is you earn sweatcoins for every minute of activity under Flares protection that can been redeemed in their great on-line store 👍 I can’t recommend this app enough and it’s free!

App it’s crashing after lunch immediately, trying use on my IPhone 12 Pro, I’m rider from Deliveroo and it’s look like this app it’s no working…

Had the app since version one and it’s been a great addition to my regular cycling routine. Knowing that, should the worst happen, my family will be notified is absolute peace of mind for both me and my partner. I was sceptical about the crash detection. To start with but it’s never failed me and the app is so simple to use.

I absolutely love Busby, with a medical condition going out training alone can be tricky sometimes. Since having Busby not only do I feel safer incase of a collision, I feel like I’ve got additional protection incase it’s needed due to medical reasons. A brilliant app helping everyone, certainly makes me feel safer out on the bike!

Hi - could be a great app however when the crucial moment comes.. it currently says failed to send message. I have changed contacts and still the same. Running on an iPhone 12 Pro.

Premium membership keeps deactivating with no explanation and am then asked to pay again to regain access. Please find an enduring fix for this issue!
