Frequently Asked Questions

Make sure Location Services are enabled for Incase in Settings > Privacy & Security > Location Services > Incase. Select "While Using the App" and enable Precise Location when you need a more detailed reading. GPS works best outdoors with a clear view of the sky. Indoor locations, dense buildings, and heavy tree cover can reduce accuracy. Incase 1.3 distinguishes a recent fix from an older location so you can check before sharing.
Accuracy varies with your device, location permissions, surroundings, and signal conditions. Incase 1.3 shows estimated GPS accuracy and distinguishes a recent fix from an older location. Check those indicators and confirm nearby landmarks before sharing. No location reading is guaranteed.
Address and intersection results use Apple's geocoding and map services. In rural areas, new developments, or recently changed streets, this data may be incomplete or outdated. Use coordinates together with their estimated accuracy and update time; no location reading is guaranteed.
Tap Restore Purchases on the access screen or in Settings. Use the same Apple ID as your original purchase. The App Store checks for an active subscription or lifetime purchase; a connection may be required. If approval is pending, access becomes available after the purchase is approved.
Open the Settings app on your device, tap your name at the top, then Subscriptions, find Incase, and tap Cancel Subscription. You can also go to Settings in the App and tap "Manage Subscription." You will retain access until the end of your current billing period.
Refunds are handled by Apple. Visit reportaproblem.apple.com, sign in with your Apple ID, find the Incase purchase, and submit a refund request.
GPS coordinates, compass, elevation, and signal tools can work without a data connection when supported by your device and available sensors. Addresses, intersections, nearby searches, and uncached maps require connectivity. Calls require an available calling connection; Incase does not provide satellite messaging or dispatch help. In an emergency, call 911 where supported or your local emergency number.
Only when you explicitly start recording a track. Incase requests background location access so an active recording can continue while your screen is locked or you use another app, subject to permission, iOS, and device conditions. Background updates stop when you stop recording. Pins and tracks are stored locally on your device and can be deleted in the App.
Incase has no developer-operated app servers. We never receive or retain a server copy of your location. Pins and recorded tracks are stored locally on your device. When you request an address, intersection, or nearby service, Apple's system frameworks process a location-based request under Apple's privacy policy. Copying, sharing, calling, opening directions, or exporting a GPX route happens only when you choose that action. Exported routes contain coordinates, timestamps, and elevation, so choose their destination carefully. See our Privacy Policy for full details.
Yes. The siren uses media playback, so the silent switch does not mute it. Its loudness follows your current media volume; raise the volume before use if you need the loudest output. Focus modes do not increase or decrease media volume.
Signals remain active when you dismiss the SOS panel. Return to the panel to turn off individual tools or, in Incase 1.3, select Stop all signals. iOS interruptions, device temperature, and hardware availability can stop a tool. Do not assume a signal is still running after leaving the app.

Coming in Incase 1.3

Open a saved route and choose Export GPX to save a portable copy in Files. GPX includes route coordinates, timestamps, and elevation. Open a saved place and choose Share Pin to send that place without sharing your entire history.

The refreshed emergency panel adds location copy and share controls, a strobe warning, and Stop all signals. Flashing lights may affect people with photosensitive conditions; never point the strobe into anyone’s eyes.
