Yep!

Like when you phone 10111.
No one comes.

This a great initiative to help criminals to initiate fake emergencies diverting already stretched resources away from the area where they are commiting a crime.

“Remarkably, the launch was smooth, free from teething issues, owing to the robust software-as-a-service model utilised.”

The reviewers noted various issues with the app, including it failing to send an OTP, black screens, and general difficulty using the app.

“I downloaded the app, pressed one icon and got a blank screen. I hope there was a better app out there,” one reviewer wrote.

Another user said they had requested help through the app it never arrived.

Remarkably smooth
