Description
Tell your family you need them with a single tap.
Ping! is one big, friendly button for a small, private family circle. Tap on it – and everyone in your group instantly knows what's up and where you are. No typing, no explaining: your reason and your live location are already attached. From your iPhone and right from your Apple Watch.
YOUR BUTTON, YOUR MESSAGE
Everyone in the group sets what their own button says – from a template or your own text and emoji:
• "Please pick me up"
• "Broken down – come over"
• "I need help"
The reason is sent word for word, along with a push notification and a map where the others see you live and can navigate to you.
HOW IT WORKS
1. Create a private group or join with an invite code (the group admin approves you)
2. Set up your button once – what should it say?
3. Tap the button: a friendly 5-second countdown runs (visible, with a gentle sound, cancelable). Pressed by accident? Just cancel.
4. Your group is notified instantly – with your reason and your location in real time
5. Someone taps "I'm coming" – everyone sees who's on the way
6. Done: you end the ping with a tap (or it ends automatically after one hour)
ONE BUTTON – NORMAL OR FULLY DISCREET
A short tap starts the visible countdown with a gentle two-tone chime (even on a silent iPhone) and vibration – so an accidental tap is noticed at once, a good safeguard especially for older relatives. Holding the button for 3 seconds sends immediately and discreetly: only quiet haptic ticks, no sound, no countdown – for moments when no one nearby should notice. Both ways send the same ping with your live location.
GETS THROUGH – EVEN ON A MUTED IPHONE
A ping reaches your family even when their iPhone is muted or a Focus is on. Just allow "Critical Alerts" once – the app will ask.
FOR THE WHOLE FAMILY
• Kids who want to be picked up – one button is enough
• Older relatives: big, simple, no menus
• On the go: a breakdown, a hike, the walk home at night
• Any small, fixed group that looks out for each other – everyone can ping, everyone gets pinged
FROM YOUR WRIST
You can trigger straight from the Apple Watch, no iPhone in hand. Plus Widgets and Controls so your button is always within reach.
BUILT TO BE ACCESSIBLE
So anyone can take part: VoiceOver-ready, large tap targets, tactile haptics and high contrast.
DATA-MINIMAL – YOUR DATA STAYS YOURS
Ping! needs no accounts, no email, no phone number. Your location is shared only during an active ping – and deleted automatically afterwards. No tracking, no ads, no selling your data. Hosted on our own servers in Germany.
IMPORTANT NOTE
Ping! is not an emergency app and not a replacement for official emergency numbers (112 in Europe, 911 in the US) – nor a medical alert service with a monitoring centre; availability and delivery are not guaranteed. Ping! helps you reach the people you trust, fast – no more, no less.
Buy once, no subscriptions. Works with Family Sharing.
