OP, you missed the best part:

A Florida woman used the comments section of a Pizza Hut order made from her smartphone on Monday afternoon to alert authorities that she and her children were being held hostage. When police responded to her message, arriving at the location, she and her children were quickly released, unharmed, and the kidnapper was arrested.

Quite clever of her.
Can't call 911 so she asks for the phone to order a pizza like she always does and sends a plea for help with that and it worked.

I'm a Domino's man myself due to shop runner + occasional half-off deals, but I may install the Pizza Hut app just in case I get kidnapped.

Another day, another odd Florida story.

But seriously, good on her. I never would've thought to use a pizza app to get out of a kidnapping situation.

In the 28 years that people could send comments through an app this is the first time this happened. Amazing.

You should read the article.

The boyfriend took the the phone away from her but gave it back so she could use the Pizza Hut app to order food. As soon as she ordered, he took the phone again. He was monitoring her the entire time, but apparently not closely enough.

Her boyfriend took the phone back immediately after she made the order. You don't think he would have checked her texts?

Yeah, I got that part. If he was monitoring her, she wouldn't have been able to write that help message without him noticing. But I suppose she had a small window of opportunity, and it would have been safer than opening another app.
