That's vibrate, isn't it? I'm half deaf, and I can pick it up across the room; I assume critters would be even more aware of it.

No, I can turn off both sound and vibrate (a separate option anyway - which can be disabled) on mine (HTC/Android). I'm no smart phone expert, but I'd expect you can do that on any phone. Check under "sound profiles" on yours. Mine has a "silent" option. (That new app this thread is about could call it "kill mode" :-))

I thought the idea was to alert one another when hunting an area to prevent accidents. If the phone doesn’t do SOMETHING, how do they know there’s an alert coming in. I’ll go back and read it again; maybe I missed something.

Sorry, I didn’t read it in detail either. I thought it just showed you on the map where the other guys are so you don’t shoot in the wrong direction. Well, that’s how I’d design it anyway...not that I design such apps. Perhaps in version 2 or 3...

Article was read. I don’t need an app to tell me where other hunters I’m hunting with are at. We brief before we go out and we know here each other is at. If someone moves they let you know.

Been hunting for many years and I don’t need a cell phone or a “safety” app.

It was a simple comment...
