New in this update: Emergency help: SOS now shows the local emergency numbers for where you are (police, ambulance, fire, or the universal number), plus your GPS coordinates to read to rescuers. Works offline. The app's new tools are now translated into all supported languages. Situation Assessment: answer a few questions to get survival priorities in order, from your location, daylight, and offline maps. Regions: download whole states, parks, forests, trails, and countries in one tap. Select or lasso several areas to grab them together. Nearest water, roads, towns, and signal now span neighboring downloaded areas, with clearer drinking water guidance and a new More nearby list. Map update alerts, faster downloads, and stability fixes.

Momentum comes from crawler snapshots for the tracked storefront. “Viral growth signal” means unusually fast recent rating gains; it is an indicator, not download data.
