I agree with Tyler as this is incredibly difficult and awful way to upload the medical ID.
Most people would think that using the nfc tag in a mountain bike helmet would be as simple as using your phone to pay at the grocery store. If you are using Twiceme, you’d be wrong. You have to place you phone in the EXACT right spot in order for it to read the nfc tag. I was able to get my medical info uploaded, but good luck if anyone tries to read the tag to access it. This combination of helmet and app would actually probably be a safe spot to store your SSN, credit card info, or anything else you don’t want other people to ever find. (Sarcasm, for those that missed it).I’m not sure if it is the helmet manufacturers fault or the apps fault, but the experience is pathetic none the less.
The programming of the NFC tag with an iPhone is trivial - once you ignore Twiceme and follow Apple’s instructions: take any phone cover off and place the phone with its top part over the NFC tag to begin the upload (the NFC antenna is next to the cameras, but you almost have to make surface-to-surface contact for the transfer to work).
That’s it, you can now uninstall Twiceme !
Anything else Twiceme offers is the option to share your and your family’s/friends’ data with the vendor. You also get notified about how many fun things you can do with Twiceme (not your NFC-tagged equipment). It looks like someone figured it might be a shame to let all the juicy user data go to waste for monetization purposes.
Absolutely over-engineered.
What else to say? I used Twiceme to upload a profile to a bike helmet. Then I got another helmet a few weeks later and when I tried to open Twiceme to upload my profile to the new helmet, it crashed. And again. And again. Deleted Twiceme and reinstalled. Still crashing. Like others have complained, it was hard to get it to register with the helmet and now with the crashing, it is 100% useless. I regret ever uploading a profile to my helmet because now it can’t be removed or updated.
I’m not sure if it’s because people who come up with these ideas don’t work in the industry or the ideas themselves are not well thought out.
It’s an amazing idea to have an NFC chip in my helmet (or whatever article of clothing/gear you have) with my private personal data and medical history that can assist medical professionals including first responders in rendering me aide in the event of an emergency.
HOWEVER, privacy is a big concern and a grave overlook by developers. This NFC chip can be read by anyone and is in no way encrypted or secure. Of course, if it was encrypted, only authorized people can access it...and of course would defeat the selling point of the concept for its developer to make money so I feel that this technology was pushed out to market to make money with the guise of public/personal safety!
Why do I say that? Well, the tech is so now that 99.99% of first responders and medical/rescue professionals don’t even know it exists or even to use it because it’s not a standard anywhere!
Next to that, Twiceme is a joke! I mean you can’t tell me you instill public confidence when the first thing I see when I go to “Create profile” in Twiceme is “Medical info deceases & disabilities”!!!!
REALLY? You mean for me to input my “DECEASES”???
Please, please, please at least have your app professionally developed, debugged, and streamlined before proclaiming to be lifesaving anything...!!!!!
Bought a 2022/23 product with this app as a feature. Tried for a couple hours to scan the NFC code with an iPhone 14. No luck. I’m really not sure how this would ever be useful in the real world if it’s so difficult to read the NFC tag in a controlled environment.
Never ended up getting it working. Just have a huge ugly icon on my helmet I guess.
Just got POC Kortal helmet and been trying to connect the helmet for 3 hours. Fix Twiceme!!!
I placed my phone over the sensor and does nothing.
Title says it all. This system is garbage, I hope the helmet works better than Twiceme
App is not able to scan and detect.
Also app doesn't even show up in settings to enable NFC
It simply doesn't connect...so there is no way to upload my medical information onto the helmet as advertised.
Will not scan at all, either from the main page, or the ‘upload’ tab. Tried multiple times, all angles of phone, after I created a profile.
Got this feature on my new poc helmet and rarely can my iPhone 11 Pro ever find the chip (using correct nft placement for iPhone). Better to have this information elsewhere on you as it is just super unreliable.
Twiceme doesn’t even give me the option to create profile or upload my medical information. It just has a button that states “Tap Here To Read Tag”, which does nothing. Unfortunately Twiceme does not work and I have an iPhone.
Hh there is a cumbersome interface for entering information, and then your phone will never find your helmet. No matter how many times you restart Twiceme , restart your phone, say prayers over your helmet, nothing. This feature was initially very attractive to me but if it doesn’t work then it’s like safety handles on a rodeo bull. Nice thought, right? But not good in practice.
Way too difficult just to set up. How is someone who finds you supposed to know what app to download or what to do if they have never heard of this. Even if they do, they will likely give up when this thing fails to scan for minutes.
Going to stick with the ol' tape the info to the inside of my helmet and carry other important info on me method. This just seems like a data grab considering how poorly it works.
1. Download app for Apple
2. Use iPhone 13 Pro
3. Fill in the basic info for yourself , emergency contacts etc
4. It then asks me to scan the helmet” place your phone in the equipment to access the safety information” It opens and says Ready to scan. With other apps when you have ready to scan, it opens camera to scan something. Twiceme does nothing. I am on wifi , Bluetooth , can access other things , can scan other things. No clue where to go from here. Just bought this POC helmet because of the safety feature such as this but it doesn’t work
I have an iPhone 12 and a tectal helmet, creating a profile and uploading to helmet took less than 2 minutes. Maybe people is having issues with older phones and OS
This is a fantastic solution and should be used by anyone with a this app NFC medical ID. After entering my personal information and contact data, the upload took seconds with my POC cycling helmet and this was using an older Apple iPhone X with the latest iOS. Highly recommended!!
I just download Twiceme . I am a manager, over seeing field operations on projects in commercial construction so I was looking for a simple way to help myself and those whom I work with in the event of an emergency. Being able to have a safe, accessible place for a first responder to get your media history, insurance, and loved ones contact information is priceless! I always use PPE when I am on the job or on my mountain bike, so having this as part of my equipment kit is a no brainer!

I just signed up and it was a breeze. I don’t know anyone yet who has Twiceme , but during my next mountain biking trip I’m going to get my buddies to sign up so we can have peace of mind knowing we can notify others in the event of an accident or if someone gets lost. Even if you don’t have this in your helmet it’s still useful.
There’s a specific touch point on your phone where you need to be exactly on it in order to upload your iD. The little this app pamphlet/tag your equipment comes with, has a diagram of where the touch point is exactly.
I left a 1 star review initially because I could not for the life of me upload my ID. Until I re-examined the that tag, saw the diagram and placed my iPhone directly onto that point (on the iPhone right next to the camera) - as before I was just blindly placing my phone on the equipment like a grocery store card reader and it wasn’t working - even moving it around didn’t work. It has to be directly on that touch point
I do believe the developers can make this more clear in Twiceme , I nearly threw out that tag with the diagram on it, gave up and left a bad review like everyone else here.
