We are working to fix all of the (numerous) problems with traditional 911. We solve the problem of getting the wealth of data / information on your phone, into a ~1970's infrastructure where the dispatchers can see it. The stuff i am most proud of, is our support for Deaf users ( who cannot use 911 on a cell currently / limited to TTY phones ) and getting accurate locations to the dispatchers . There is other neat stuff involved like our server maintains the call to 911 (so it can never drop, and it will never stop calling you back until the 911 dispatchers hang up the call ) as well as intelligently choosing between VOIP, PSTN (regular cellular call ) or sending you to your native cellular dialer based on changing network conditions in real time. If you like pictures, there is an explanation of the above here: https://rapidsos.com/whyrapidsos/
If you use the app, pay attention to the "Test Mode" feature. If you hit one of the tiles while not in test mode, it will call 911, and you cannot hangup the call without speaking to the dispatchers.
Also i'm the lead developer (Team of 3 on Android currently). Your feedback will be directly addressed.
Also its currently free, every user gets a complimentary subscription.
don't know if i'm late to the party but there is an app called Haven made by a company called RapidSOS. The app is able to work with dispatcher technology without them upgrading their systems so you can send them your location, text them, and send them pictures.
Ever heard of this app (Haven)? It is able to already communicate with PSAP systems and get an accurate location because of gps
