What you can do
A survival manual that works with no signal: first aid, water, shelter, emergency scenarios and field tools, all on your iPhone. Prepare your kit today, and find the right step fast when the power or the network goes down.
Guides and scenarios work offline. Life-saving guides, the first ten minutes and the “during” phase of each scenario stay free. Surv Pro unlocks the full library and complete scenarios. Check access to the content you need before a trip.
List your supplies, keep an inventory, and write down your family plan and your medical card. They are stored only on your iPhone.
The standard compass, coordinates, SOS light, whistle and CPR metronome are free. The solar compass and saved waypoints require Surv Pro. Keep physical backups: a phone can break or run out of battery.
Surv is a reference tool, not emergency services or medical advice: in an emergency, call your local emergency number first. Some in-app guides are not yet translated into every language shown on this site.
Guides
What survives a network outage, why text beats calls when everyone is dialling, how to keep documents readable offline, and how to make a phone last when there is nothing to charge it with.
Why kits fail at maintenance rather than at assembly, how to build a list by walking through the box, what to record for each item, and how to run an annual review that takes under an hour.
What the United States government actually recommends storing, how much water and food, how to treat suspicious water, what to do when the power goes out, and how to keep the kit current.
What an evacuation go-bag should hold, using the Red Cross and Ready.gov lists: water, food, medicines, documents, cash, and what each person adds.
The EPA’s exact steps for boiling water and disinfecting it with unscented bleach, what these methods cannot remove, and how to store treated water.
What to prepare before a blackout, how long food stays safe, generator and carbon monoxide rules, and medical devices, from Ready.gov and the Red Cross.
The parts of a baseplate compass, how to take and follow a bearing, orient a map, correct for magnetic declination, and avoid readings disturbed by metal.
The American Red Cross list for a family first aid kit, item by item, plus personal medicines, where to keep kits, checking expiry dates and getting trained.
How to secure your home, what to do during the shaking with Drop, Cover, and Hold On, and what to check afterwards, from Ready.gov, ShakeOut and the Red Cross.
What to prepare before a hurricane, what a watch and a warning mean, where to shelter, and the dangers that remain once the wind has dropped.
Separate offline access from Pro access and missing household information before you rely on your phone.
Try a harmless message between two nearby Surv phones and understand range, foreground, privacy and emergency-service limits.
A practical checklist for power, information, contacts and basic supplies when networks or electricity are unreliable.
What Ready.gov asks you to have before a wildfire warning, how to split the list between go-bag, car and house, and why the plan must work with the network down.
How to prepare a home for extreme heat, what to do when the air conditioning stops, and the warning signs of heat exhaustion and heatstroke to watch for.
Alert apps, offline reference guides, checklist tools and paper: which ones still work when the network does not, and what to check before you need them.
Surv
Surv stores its guides and scenarios on the device. Review the content and tools before a trip, and keep physical backups because an app needs a working, charged phone.
No. It is a preparedness and reference app. Follow instructions from local authorities and contact emergency services when needed.
No. It does nothing in the background: GPS runs only while a screen that needs it is open. Impact mode uses pure black, which saves battery on an OLED screen.
Only on your iPhone, in the app’s private storage. There is no copy elsewhere, so keep an encrypted device backup if you rely on it.
A phone compass is a magnetometer, disturbed by metal, speakers or magnetic cases. Move away from metal and wave the phone in a figure of eight. The solar compass in Tools computes true north from the sun.
Yes. Turn on airplane mode and use the whole app; every guide, scenario and tool is compiled into it.
The App Store and the app show the current price and available purchases in your local currency before confirmation. Trial availability depends on the offer and your eligibility. A free download does not mean every feature is free.
These are translated website pages. Check the Languages section of the App Store listing for the app itself. Some content may use a different language.
On iPhone, open Settings, tap your name, then Subscriptions. Select the app to review or cancel an active subscription. Deleting the app does not cancel a subscription.
Support
