Anyone else use Busby?

Hi there,
great little app - free with ads & a couple of quid a month without. Essentially it will message your assigned contact/contacts if the app senses a crash or fall ( it uses the phones g sensor). It sounds an alarm which if you don’t respond to it will message them with your location.
I'm not affiliated in any way to the app - I use it & it gives a bit of piece of mind - just wanted to share!

This is built in on my Garmin Edge 830, so I assume it will be on other models as well.

Cheers - not quite as new as I thought then!

Would one need to purchase a smartphone in order to operate this app thing?

Would it still work if smartphone got hit by a 44 tonnes truck

My Edge 830 has it as does my new Specialized helmet, but I don’t have any nearest and dearest to inform so don’t use either.

If you're lucky it'll be a Carphone Warehouse truck.
