Your All-New Mobile App: Upgrade Your Staff Safety

You told us that our app needed to be easier to use, more reliable, and have extra layers of security. We listened – so we’ve rebuilt our app to make it more reliable and safer than ever. The all-new interface makes raising and cancelling alerts quicker and easier, plus much more.

Let’s review all the new features and how they’ll help you keep your staff safe both on- and off-site.

• New toggleable GPS map 
• Choose your alert type, group and location directly from the home screen
• See a live timeline of your alerts
• View a log of recent alerts
• Arrange help faster with the new call button
• Stop accidental alerts with a timer and slide to cancel
• Add an extra layer of security with a PIN
• Improved troubleshooting and error-messaging
• Make training easier with demo mode
• Add colleagues to your licence with an in-app QR activation code

We know that the GPS map is important to a lot of our mobile app users, so now you can toggle the map on or off depending on your preferences. You can now have the GPS map on at all times on your home screen, giving you peace of mind that your location is visible should you need to raise an alert.

And if you want to make the Little Green Button larger on your home screen, simply toggle the map off. It’s up to you.

We’ve also had to remove the ability to manually add locations on the app. You can now only use GPS, or select from a location that has been assigned to you from the management portal. We want to make sure that alert locations are always accurate so you and your colleagues can get help as soon as possible. However, we will migrate any pre-existing manually added locations to the new app to ensure no data is lost.

Accidents happen – so to prevent alerts from being raised in error, you can now set a timer to allow users the time to cancel before it’s sent.

Set a suitable timer length from the menu in the app. This time is unique to every device, so every user can set their own timer. Then, when you press the Little Green Button in the app, your screen will turn red and start counting down until the alert is sent. 

And don’t worry, you can override this if you need to speed things up – users can simply tap the button again to raise an alert immediately.

Plus, you can now slide to cancel instead of double-tapping the live alert red button. This prevents genuine alerts from being cancelled accidentally during a high-stress situation.

To those who haven’t had to use the Little Green Button before, a grey panic button might not signal to them that there’s a problem with the connection. That’s why we’ve added a warning message at the top of the screen letting the user know that there’s a connection issue with the button so they can rectify it.

Remember, unlike the desktop version of Little Green Button, the mobile app requires an internet connection to function. If desktop versions of Little Green Button are also grey, you should troubleshoot the issue.
