mobile apps in case you need immediate help

#1 Post by labbe5 »

There are situations when a mobile app could be useful to inform your friends or loved ones where you are, whether you are in immediate danger or you feel threathened, such as when a woman feel she is stalked by a stranger, late at night, on a solitary road, sparingly lit. This example is a bit far-fetched, but you get it. You could even use such an app when at a demonstation, and cops are making arrests. Or explaining a child how to use it, in case your child is feeling threathened by a stranger, when all alone on his or her own, or if your child is victimized by another child at school, you will know right away that he or she needs you without having to take the time to phone you (when stressed out by something very stressful, such as an accident, we tend to forget even our name). Useful too for an elderly, that may need help in a stressful situation, when a bit confused.

Here are some Androïd apps, all free :
