Testing the Gauteng e-Panic button app

Gauteng e-Panic button app tested — with impressive results

MyBroadband tested the Gauteng provincial government's e-Panic button and was impressed with its user experience and overall performance.

Upon its launch alongside a physical panic button fob in May 2024, the province described it as an innovative technological solution designed to enhance the safety of Gauteng residents.

How did I did I not score on this little eating snack?

Overall, we were impressed with the app, although we could not determine the effectiveness of the security and emergency responders it dispatches.

So the most important part of an emergency app is still untested, how fast do the emergency responders arrive.
Calling back quick is great but if the ambo or cops take 3 hours to arrive then it's a completely pointless app now isn't it?

Absolutely this.

Don't get me wrong, a call back within seconds is nice, but the all important element is how fast does emergency response arrive... without that metric that App is pretty looking fluff.
