App Settings

• SMS Duration Time: Allows selecting the interval for which the location message will be sent repeatedly after an interval (3 minutes/ 5 minutes/ 10 minutes).
• Select Top Contacts: The top contacts who will be sent the messages from the close contact list after arising the alert can be modified by choosing a number from 1 to 5.

There is also an checkbox labelled "Automatic Call", if checked calls the most prioritized contact whenever an alert is raised. Disabling it prevents the app from doing so.
• Automatic Call: Enable this to make an automatic call to the top prioritized close contact after rising an alert. Disabling this feature will still provide the users the facility to call any time from the notification bar.
