What does the panic button do? Something like aborting it if the driver is creepy? There is what looks like a link for "one touch" but it's just underlined and there doesn't appear to be any other reference to it.

I'm on mobile, if that makes a difference. Another reply said it was very different to on desktop.

From OP's post above:

> She wanted a simple scheduling service, with a panic button — a way for her to let others know if she was running late.

My reaction was yours: it's a way to call for help if you're being kidnapped or creeped out by the stranger-driver.

The feature is extremely poorly named, and not at all well-communicated through the marketing or the front page. Needs a new name, IMHO.

Ah, thanks. I hadn't noticed that post was from the OP.

I'm one more person who had the same reaction to idea of a panic button. After spending a couple of minutes on the site I merely felt confused about what it was supposed to be.
