SOS Alert | Emergency & Safety

Raghav Maheshwari

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 3 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

Perfect app!! I can type, change or edit and save it. I can do the same for the recipient(s). BEST part it's completely free and the GPS is very accurate! Other similar apps have a monthly fee plus draw backs. Message sent out very quickly, in a matter of a few seconds top.

simple and straightforward. It would be nice if you could set optional messages, but I suppose in an emergency you wouldn't have time to select which message to send. A little discussion about this app with everyone on your contact list in advance is key.

Quite easy to register and easy yo use. Love it for quick alert. ***Note: I would suggest that we have a choice of who needs to be alerted, either one person or the rest of the group of contacts at once. (We operate with whatsapp groups and the contacts number is quite large) Also inform what's the maximum contacts allowed.
