I think I have the same app. It's called I emergency plus. The plus is written as the plus sign from the more symbols keyboard and the whole thing is written with no spaces. There's a way to get it as wall paper on the phone, too. It's fully accessible. I don't remember the cost, but it

This is a neat idea. Is the wallpaper view on the screen that has the unlock button, or the screens on which the apps are located? If the wallpaper is on the screens that have the apps, wouldn't the app icons obscure the information in the photo being used as the wallpaper?. Thanks. Keith

Hi Christina, At that time, I did the same with a short paragraph explaining how to turn off the voice over and going to my iEmergency app for my information. In an accident now, paramedics are trained to look for a cell phone. My iEmergency has all my information like my doctor's phone number,

I have an app called Call 911 on the top right of my home screen. I have it set so that if I open the app and shake the phone it calls 911 automatically. You can turn off the shake feature but I figure if I need help I will be doing good just to open the app. HTH, Sherrie -Original

Hi, Thanks so much. This looks perfect! However, I wonder, will it work in Ireland? I see from looking at the information on the App Store that it only mentions the US and Canada. So, is anyone using it, four example, from somewhere in Europe? I couldn't see a contact email address to ask the

Hi Sandra I have just recently put an app on my phone called Emergency Ice. This can be used in different countries and a lot of information can be put into the app in case medical details are required. I can't remember if it was free or not, but it wouldn't have cost very much if I downloaded
