Deep Developer Hub

About this app

SOS Alert is an emergency app which helps you out whenever your safety is at risk by reaching out to your emergency contacts and providing them with your current location.

FEATURES
***********
1. No Ads
2. Very basic user interface and easy to use
3. Dark theme
4. In case of an emergency, a link of your current location on Google Maps is sent to your emergency contacts so that they can locate you accurately
5. The Emergency Contacts and the SOS Message are stored locally on your device, therefore no one other than you have access to it
6. You can edit the SOS Message and add other useful information about yourself
7. SOS Widget for sending SOS Alert in just one tap

HOW DOES IT WORK?
***********************
1. Whenever you are in an emergency, you need to press the SOS Widget or the SOS button in the app
2. As soon as you press the button/widget, a countdown of 10 seconds starts immediately (you can cancel the SOS Alert if you want to, before the countdown ends)
3. When the countdown ends, the app fetches your location from the GPS on your device and sends (through SMS) your location along with your SOS Message (which is pre-saved on your device) to the emergency contacts that you have registered in the app
4. The registered emergency contacts receive your SOS Message and a link of your current location as an SMS from your mobile number

Ratings and reviews

Very easy to use and straightforward. A fantastic app!

Dead simple to set up. Inputted 4 contact numbers and, when activated the SOS message, with location map, was sent to all 4 without any problems. Just what I needed! I would have liked to be able to edit the whole SOS message instead of only the 1st part but this is just a minor point.

Easy and no nonsense. I hate buggy over-engineered apps. This is not one of those. ENHANCEMENT SUGGESTION: add a few more SOS buttons that have different sms numbers attached. For example: work, family, friends, lawyer, etc.
