I built a family check-in app that doesn't use GPS. Looking for feedback

Hey,



I published an Android app called Closer and wanted some honest feedback from people here.I basically got tired of "family safety" apps that are just location tracking. I don't want a map of where someone is. I just want to know they're okay.

Closer works like this:

\-You invite someone and share a private confirmation number.

\-You send a check-in, either now or on a schedule.

They confirm by tapping that number.

\-f they miss it, get it wrong, or say they're not okay, you get an alert and can call or text them

No GPS or live tracking. Just check-ins with people you trust.

Free version is 1 person and simple once-a-day schedules. There's an optional Plus upgrade if you need more.
