Description

Getting your location to friends in seconds could save your life
Featured on "The Tech Guy" show by Leo Laporte

By leveraging some of the incredible capabilities of the iPhone including fast GPS location, Maps and FaceTime. The user in distress can send “A Shout For Help” with their exact location to a trusted contact in just a few seconds. Moments after reading the Shout for Help the contact can locate the user position with IOS Maps then call using FaceTime to visually assess the user’s distress.

This App is not intended for entertainment. “A Shout For Help” will send a text message containing the users exact location to a trusted contact in times of distress.

Examples of use:

A person is seen walking onto a campus with a gun, as soon as they find suitable cover students send “A Shout For Help”, in moments trusted contacts report the situation to the authorities. This action has the potential to save lives.

A child walking home from school notices a suspicious person following her, she sends “A Shout For Help” to grandma. Grandma upon receiving the “Shout” calls the child using FaceTime and evaluates the situation. 99 times out of 100 grandma will simply comfort and assure the child, if the child does not answer a more drastic response such as calling 911 may be called for.

Works but modification needed

The app works well, however, I can't find a way to delete names once they are entered into a list. The app came with an already installed 800 number called "Dad" that was not a number I recognized - when I called the number I got a survey. I need to get rid of this "Dad" number. Please advise.

Hikers' Must

My wife and I hike 3 times a week. After we heard about this app from "The Tech Guy" Leo we downloaded this app immediately. In a trail, you never know. It gets dark quickly. We encountered rattle snakes, bobcats, coyotes, and luckily not yet seeing any mountain lion. We were almost bitten by a "startling" rattle snake when hiking on a narrow trail. This app allows us to send 3 text messages to our family members. Now, we enjoy the hiking, picture taking, and most importantly, a peace of mind. Thank you!

Haven't tried it out yet

I've just downloaded this. I'm going to experiment with it to my friends & family who might get my SOS at a future date so I become quick on the draw and they know what they're dealing with should the moment arise. With my luck when my "Help I've fallen and I can't get up moment" comes my phone will be yards away!
