Excellent idea, but if screen lock and clock or screen saver block the QR code, it cannot be accessed. Shame, but unworkable as screen lock clock cannot be disabled in Android. Uninstalled from 4 mobile phones for this reason. Will have to use default Emergency facility which limits notes to too few characters.

This is a fantastic App- well done & lade out . It holds information regarding important Contacts/ medical issues - ( that could be improved rather than tick boxes. It has the brilliant idea of a QR code creation for the Lock-Screen (Option). This helps emergency services obtain your vital information. A beautiful App- as well as free. A highly recommended emergency App- It even sends your location with your SMS text message. You won't be disappointed if they improve on the personal info entry

Would recommend to everyone,
