As an immigrant I like the idea of having this information on my phone, especially during border crossings.
- under Learn > Emergency I would love to see a section on "What should I do/say if I'm detained at a border crossing"
- the See section responds slowly then crashes on my device (Nexus 5X), possibly because I denied the Location permission and it showed the entire map
- I'm not sure if denying the Location permission removed information from the Learn section
- You've marketed it at the Stack Overflow for US immigration, but there doesn't seem to be a way to ask questions or provide answers to others. Is this coming soon or not planned?
- wjmclaugh 10y ago1) We'll add that in the next release. Thanks. 2) That's entirely likely. I realize the location part is sensitive, but we want to show you immediately the closest NGOs and sanctuary cities. 3) No, it doesn't. 4) We accept submissions via email, Twitter, and FB that we then research and vet with experts. We're planning an anonymous forum as well in the future.
- dudul 10y agoAs far as I know, phones are forbidden between 20 minutes before landing and clearing customs. If you run into troubles while going through BC, you are not allowed to check your phone. Better study/prepare your answers before :)
- secfirstmd 10y agoWe have a section on physical/digital security when crossing through high-risk borders in Umbrella App (our stuff is open source and Creative Commons so people should feel free to reuse it): https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.secfirst.umbrella https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.secfirst.u... or https://www.secfirst.org https://www.secfirst.org
