Emergency Alert for Wear
You can start the app on the watch by going to the "Start" menu (slow double tap on the home screen, then scroll all the way to the bottom), or with the voice command, "Ok Google, start Emergency Alert"
Beware: Please test it in advance. This depends on your carrier's coverage since the messages are sent via SMS and requires network coverage. I am not liable for any message that is not sent, for any reason.

PERFECT for Smartwatch wearers to alert someone via text in case of emergencies. Very quick and easy to alert within 1 second, faster than 911.
Works great on moto 360 2 but really need ability to do more than one number on settings
The app works great in theory, but it doesn't send messages with my phone and watch combination.
Thank you very much! I'm a senior and this app is invaluable to me. Works great!
Great app that works well. Responsive developer. Recommended!
Used to work great on my HTC u11 but since last update never send a text now and running Android 8
Works well and does what it says it will do. However I wish you could send notifications to multiple phone numbers.
If universal text to 911 was available this app would be the gold standard, but I dont know of a 24/7 service that accepts SMS.
Works great on my lg watch
This app saves babies from burning buildings.
I have a Sony Xperia Z2 and a LG urbane, when asking ok Google it opens a link to the Web and does not send emergency message, I have sent message to app builder no reply, so I have now deleted the app.
Its ok. Uncomplicated app that works. I agree with the other reviews that the limitation of only one recipient is a failing. If that one person doesn't see the sms for whatever reason the alert could be overlooked. The delay on the watch allowing time to cancel could be longer its little more than one second. Five seconds might be better. Another app like this one has an option to message recipients that the sender is safe and the emergency has passed etc which seems like a useful inclusion. Would like to see a dedicated watch face/complication to make access to the app visually simple. The use of google assistant is a great idea, have yet to try it.
