Reviews: What People Think About Parachute

Rating: 5/5
My son found this for me since I am alone a lot and I have a non-epileptic seizure disorder due to a brain condition. I used to use an SOS app which was useful for what I needed at the time, however it had quite a delay. This app however my son said, from the time I hit the button and the app notified my emergency contacts and my daughter got to me was only 34 seconds!
From someone who deals with regular seizures the rapid response time of this app is highly appreciated! Definitely a must have for not just loved ones who may be left alone but this would really come in incredibly helpful in any emergency situation, and is definitely worth the $9.99 a month for the unlimited for me!

Why does this developer need to make users agree to allowing them to track, store, and reserve the right to share and sell data such as users’ purchases, user content, all contacts, etc. for the functionality of this app?? Frankly, I don’t even see why it would be necessary for the dev to know users’ identity to provide this service. Though NOT unique in its functionality, the safety features appear robust on their own merits. That said, this is a paid service that’s marketed as the ‘most powerful safety app’. Safety and privacy and intertwined and inseparable.
So, how can any app that blatantly and extensively violates users’ privacy for present or future financial gain be considered user-centric with safety as the primary function and outcome??? The fact is that users are paying for this service twice, with a cash subscription AND with their data, which is now considered to be the most valuable commodity in the world. At the very least, devs that collect profiling data should follow the standards set by Google, Facebook, etc. and provide ‘free’ services in exchange for data without an additional subscription for those that are fine with this type of exchange.

Thanks for being with me on all those runs when I was trying to become a better Cross-country runner out on those city trails. Cool that you kept the loyal day one’s on this update to 4.0 instead of booting them. I can keep going solo, even now I’m just doing runs for fun.
