I finally got around to asking for a PLB for Christmas. I'm going with either the ACR ResQLink or RescueMe PLB 1 because they are on the non-commercial SARSAT network with better coverage and nil annual subscription fee.

I'm after something that alerts emergency services in a situation where I can't get myself out. From my research the Spot is pretty useless for my purposes, as it can't be relied upon in an emergency and my Telstra Blue tick mobile covers the non-essential messaging function most places I go.

I found this review of the different sattelite networks interesting:

Anyway, the reason I'm posting is to ask the name of the Rescue app I recall being mentioned on one of the accident threads. Can anyone help me out?
