When There's No Signal

Offline mode screenshot

HELP switches automatically. An amber bar at the top says you're offline and shows the time of the last updates it saved. Once HELP has been opened with signal, it keeps working without one.

Important

Important: HELP stores checklists, nearby help locations, Food-as-Medicine information, and your personal details on your phone when you first set it up with a signal. After that, this information is always available, even with no internet or cell service.

HELP is not an emergency service and does not contact 911. If your life is in danger, call 911.
