About this app

SafeBeacon is the GPS safety app built for runners, hikers, cyclists, and walkers who head out alone. Share your live location with the people who care about you — and they don’t even need to install the app.

Whether you’re training for a race, exploring a new trail, or cycling your daily commute, SafeBeacon gives your guardians a real-time view of your route. If you stop moving, they’re alerted automatically. If you need help, one tap sends an SOS with your exact GPS coordinates.

HOW SAFEBEACON WORKS
1. Start your activity — running, hiking, cycling, or walking
2. Your guardians receive a tracking link via SMS or email
3. They follow your live GPS location from any browser — no app install required
4. When your activity ends, guardians receive a completion alert

SAFETY FEATURES THAT PROTECT YOU
• Stationary Alert: Automatically notifies guardians if you stop moving during an activity
• One-Tap SOS: Send an emergency alert with your precise GPS location to guardians and 911
• Crash Detection: Senses impact during cycling and outdoor activities and alerts your emergency contacts
• Live Location Sharing: Real-time GPS tracking visible to guardians via a simple browser link

BUILT FOR SOLO ATHLETES
Unlike family location sharing apps that track you 24/7, SafeBeacon is activity-based. Your location is only shared when you choose to start a safety session. Perfect for solo runners who want peace of mind, hikers exploring remote trails, or cyclists on busy roads. Your privacy is respected — tracking stops when your activity ends.

Ratings and reviews

Apparently, the app automatically started a second subscription after the first year for an annual subscription, and I just now noticed after this payment posted while I've been paying monthly the entire year. (I had to go into my subscription payment history to see it, I somehow missed it on my credit card a year ago). Pay attention to your subscriptions so you aren't double paying, pretty good little "glitch" or whatever you want to call it, double the amount they charge people.

JANUARY 11 APP UPDATE fixed the issue of stopping music and bluetooth activity when the app was running. Good job 👍 BTW I was not surprised at the switch to a paid app. Plenty of communication and warning this was going to happen. I decided to use the paid version and paid for a year at some savings over the month to month charge. Still if you want to test drive the app for a month, skip buying that cup of coffee and try it. If you don't like it, then cancel, if you do, buy a year sub.

While I'm not beyond paying a fee for this app as it works as advertised, I find the price to be a little on the steep side..and as someone that has purchased roadid bracelets on multiple occasions, it sure would be nice to have a discount or better yet a free subscription to the app if you support the company by buying it's products...just saying
