App feels nice upon first opening it. I was a little confused at first as to what the app actually offers but once I actually opened the app, then I was able to understand a little bit more. I would include a slogan of some kind in the beginning because I was a little lost. The roundness of everything is kinda cool design wise. I would condense the amount of questions you ask in the beginning. Kind of took me a while to finally get to the first page of the app.

I really like how you ask if the situation is an emergency and if people need immediate help. Think it shows that you have this well thought out. If I didn't know what kind of app this was already, then I think I would have been lost. But to be fair..the app store explains it well enough. The notes section is nice, could use a little more of an interesting aspect to it but its nice. The discover page is a little confusing...maybe get rid of the videos on the home page and just have it be a questions page...with some kind of link to the discover page? Its a little confusing which page is the home page.

I see myself actually using this app but mostly because of the notifications and notes aspect. It's a really cool feature. I would enhance that more! Also your navigation is a little hard to understand. I cant tell what the home page is. I see why you have the profile settings on its own tab - looks nice to have four tabs instead of three but I also think its not industry smart. Combine the profile settings under the profile page...with a button to lead you there or something. Cool app so far.

Distinguish what the home page is

Make sure the arrow buttons have a purpose

Improve the logo - including the name of the app..kind of confusing

Include a small intro page or a slogan under the logo...just to solidify what to expect from the app.

Add more information - things feel a little too minimal
