Crash detection app

[Motorcycle Mayor]

Hi all,

My crash detection app company, EatSleepRide, has just closed its doors. Too bad, they saved my ass years ago and I’ve used them ever since.

Which means I need a new crash detection app. For an iPhone.

Recommendations?

What is a crash protection app and what does it do for you? Never heard of it before.

EDIT: Nevermind, Googled it. If you have an iPhone 14 or above it's built in.

I'd totally forgotten my iPhone 14 has that feature built in. Interestingly, it's never generated a false positive, which EatSleepRide used to do fairly frequently.

Do you know if it's possible to test the Apple crash detector? I've looked online and haven't found a way to do that (I may not be using the right search terms).

I have no idea. I guess you could throw it against a wall and see what happens. But don't do that. LOL

If I crash I know it! My personal body app knows it. Instant notification. Tells my brain instantly I went down. Then it even hurts! It's so cool. No app needed.

Yeah, mine has worked perfectly...twice. No false positives.

Not trying to be a wise ass here but you're missing the point of what the app can do. Like sense that you've been in a crash and notify emergency services and/or your emergency contact with your location if you're laying unconscious in a ditch.

I get it. And yes I'm being a wise arse. I always support the troops!

Yeah. I think the Apple-sphere calls it fall detection and it's marketed for seniors. Go searching along those lines for instructions on how to enable and set it up.
