"EatSleepRIDE" Free App for IOS and Android.

[Andy-Mat]

This may prove interesting for any rider who goes well off road, who risks a fall (even ON road!), as its a free App, that will after a short period, alert up to 3 people by their phones, to the fact that the rider's phone has noticed an "abrupt event" possibly a crash or a fall, and the phone alarm has sounded and the rider has not cancelled it within 3 minutes!

As the ad says, it does not matter WHAT you ride!

Reviews on both iOS & Android show 3.1 stars. Not forgetting it's not possible to give 0 stars, so that's really 2.1 / 4 stars. Roughly 50% of customers aren't impressed. If that was a bike shop it would go bust.

I like the idea, and the developer bothers to answer reviews which is always a good indication of care, but the app dosan't appear to be polished enough to be worth paying for. Cost is $14.99 per annum, it says in one of the reviews.

Similar apps are available.
This one is again struggling to get out of the 3.x star ratings:

This one has much better reviews than the above two:

BikerSOS, More fun with more safety - Biker-SOS EN

The BikerSOS motorcycle app with automatic crash detection, trip recording, live tour and the original BikerSOS motorcycle gps tracker

bikersos.com

But even that one has significant problems. Example review:
NOT recommended!!! I just bought the pro version to test it for a week. The first false alarm was triggered after 30 min by turning right to stop at a gas station... My mum & the emergency got notified about my "accident"... I did not abort it as I could not hear the alarm of my stashed phone... Really love the idea BUT the implemention is sadly very poor (speaking as a software engineer)...

Did you say it's free? Well, how is it possible to be free if it's $14.99, lol. I didn't try it yet, and I don't know if I will. Cause I see a lot of bad reviews online and even here in the comment section. I also agree that the idea is great, so maybe in the future when the app will be polished enough, I will try it myself. Right now I don't even know if I could use it, cause I and technology are at two different poles. Yesterday I looked up on https://myhow.org/ for how to search by image on google, sooo...
