About this app

Voted as one of the two “best apps for domestic violence prevention” last year, the Aspire News App is a potentially life-saving app that allows victims of abuse to call for help at the touch of a button. The app contains summaries of top stories in world, sports, and entertainment news powered by Yahoo! It is available for download on iPhone and Android smartphone devices.

Additionally, if someone you know is in an abusive relationship – or if that someone is you – the Help section of the application contains resources for victims of domestic violence.

Please Note: This app does not serve as a replacement for emergency services – in any situation where you feel that you may be at risk, please dial 911 or your local emergency number.

Ratings and reviews

The idea of the app is good but overall poorly executed. It freezes up on me, shows no "news", and I cannot even click half of the tab options without it freezing up. It desperately needs an update. As I have read, I'm not the only one experiencing these tech difficulties. I downloaded this app to maybe help myself in bad situations I've been going through but there is not even the emergency button on my screen I can click. Please update now.

This loaded just fine for me. Even did a test and it works fine. Was kind of tricky where to tap three times but literally just open app, and the top of get help page, three times. The persons on contact list get your pre written message. I hope I'll never have to use it, but it's nice to have.

This app doesn't work. Please don't count on this app to keep you safe. It's not developed enough to get you help in the event of an emergency. Stick with 911, setting friends and family to speed dial & keeping a 2nd phone handy in case your primary phone is taken from you.
