Field notes
The page describes an app for a relative’s existing phone, with large text, spoken controls and support for English, Shona, Ndebele and other languages. Families link phones with a six-number code; the page says only alerts and check-ins are shared, not private messages. It lists free emergency help alongside paid Shield and Family plans, while app-store downloads are marked “coming soon.”
