Questions people ask before buying.
What does "bug in" mean?
Bugging in means sheltering at home during an emergency instead of evacuating. For most events, from storms to outages to unrest, staying put in a prepared home is the safer and more comfortable option. Bug In is the plan for doing that well.
Does it really work with no internet?
Yes. The full guide library and all of your records are stored on the device. The only thing that needs a connection is syncing to your other devices, and that happens automatically the next time you're online.
How does sync work, and is my data private?
Sync uses the iCloud or Google account already on your phone. Your data goes from your device to your cloud account to your other devices. Bug In has no servers and no account system, so we never see what you store.
Is $9.99 really the whole price?
Yes. One purchase unlocks everything, including future updates. There is no subscription, no in-app purchases and no "pro" tier.
Who is the guidance based on?
The content is informed by Navy SEAL survival and resilience training and by official preparedness recommendations from FEMA and Ready.gov, rewritten for a normal household. Bug In is not affiliated with or endorsed by the U.S. Navy or any government agency.
Can I share it with my family?
Family plans, contacts and the document vault can be shared with the other devices in your household. App Store and Google Play family sharing rules apply to the purchase itself.
