The SOS button
- Hold the red button for 3 seconds (also on the car screen).
- Movoo first offers to call 112.
- After 10 seconds, which you can cancel, your loved ones are alerted with your location.
- All fine? “I'm OK” ends the alert.
Safety
Nobody is left alone on the road
Movoo does not replace the emergency services: in an emergency, call 112.
What Movoo does when things go wrong, and what it doesn't. Everything is in the Android app.
Your emergency contacts
Up to 5 people: Movoo members, who get a notification; email addresses, which receive an email once the person has agreed to be your contact; phone numbers, with an SMS or WhatsApp message ready to send in one tap.
Mutual aid between members
If you wish, be notified when a member needs help near you (5, 10 or 20 km). Your exact position is never shared, and the person in trouble's position is only revealed to you if you answer “I'm going”.
No network: relay through your group
The alert waits for the network to come back and sends itself. Meanwhile, Movoo passes it over Bluetooth to the phones of your group members nearby; it hops from phone to phone until it reaches someone with a signal, always encrypted, readable only by group members.
In a convoy
A “Need help?” button sends your position to your group, which is notified first.
What about your privacy?
The exact position of an alert is encrypted, then erased when the alert ends. Volunteers only see it if they answer “I'm going”.
The limits, in black and white
- Movoo does not replace the emergency services. In an emergency, always call 112 first.
- The off-grid relay only works if members of your groups, with the app installed, are within Bluetooth range — that is, very close to you. Nothing guarantees there will be any.
- Mutual aid relies on volunteers: nobody has to answer.
- SMS and WhatsApp messages to your phone contacts are prepared by Movoo, but you send them yourself.
- With no network and no relay, notifications and emails only go out when the network comes back.
- An alert ends by itself after 2 hours without “I'm OK”; your contacts are informed.
- Movoo is only available on Android (11 or newer).
