I have only used this while riding so I cannot comment on how it would help if I was being kidnapped. What I can tell you how it works when I am on my motorcycle all weekend just about every weekend.
I charge it Friday night then check the App to make sure it has enough juice to get me through the weekend. I then set it up to call my wife and text my best friend my location IF I hit the Silent Beacon Alert.
Sometimes I turn on the Footsteps icon which allows my wife to track me in real time, I only use this in adverse conditions or per my wifes request.
I only had to use this once, I got a flat tire (my own fault for riding on balding tires) and had zero clue where I was. I sent out the alert and my friend got to me quickly and due to the two way talk feature on the device I was able to tell him to bring a truck!
I like the added peace of mind and never leave home without it, really no negatives that I can think of.

Next I added some other people to the list and accidentally entered a wrong number. I went in the edit the number and it will NOT allow you to edit it. I can change the name and the email but not the phone number for some reason. So I thought I should be able to delete the record but no where does it say in the app how to delete it. The manual says you can but wasn't very clear. So I decided to delete everything and do a factory reset on the beacon to start over from scratch.
While it said that when I deleted the account that it would remove it from their database, when I tried to use the same email it said that it was already in use and I couldn't use it. So I used another one. When I went to pair the beacon to the phone again, it told me that the beacon was still connected to another phone and refused to let me pair it. I did several factory resets and regular resets and the results are the same....
UPDATE Three weeks later... I finally got help and the company that makes it said that it was broken and sent me a replacement to replace the one that I got. Once I got it I was able to connect it and get everything up and running again very quickly since I had already done it several times with the first one. It seemed to work somewhat well but distance was really an issue.
If I went to the next room, it would signal that it was losing connection and then I would move a little and it would reconnect. So basically, I have to carry the cell phone with me around the house. If I have to do that, what is the point of having the beacon? To use it in the yard, I would have to put the phone on the railing and it would still only get about half way across the yard before losing connection.
While that is a big issue, the bigger issue is trusting that it is reconnecting. After several disconnects/reconnects, it would stop reconnecting. The only way to get it to reconnect would be to shut down and restart the phone. I asked the maker if I pushed the buttons if it would actually work even when it was within range but didn't reconnect. They said yes. But when I tested it when in this status, it didn't send an alert to anyone even though it was an inch from the phone.
I then tried to restart the phone, it still wouldn't reconnect. So I contacted maker again and they told me to do a factory reset. I followed all the instructions to reset and then tried to reconnect and it would not reconnect. I removed the old pairings and then re-pair the beacon and app but it wouldn't reconnect.
So I have finally lost all confidence in the product and requested a full refund. I have sent it back and Amazon states that the refund has been approved so I feel that they are standing behind their product that they sell so I have no issue with the seller but issues with the maker of the product. It really needs to make a higher quality product.
We have been able to sleep better as they use the check-in feature. The low battery warning also helps them keep the beacons charged, which no other product we saw on here was able to do.
The cost was higher than I originally wanted to pay, but when you take into consideration it can call myself and/or the police for my kids, I’m more than fine paying slightly more than the cheap products we found online.
I look forward to updates and advancements in your company. I am grateful.
