Nobody wants to feel scared, especially in their own home. Robb
Monkman, the founder of REACT Mobile, was held at gunpoint during a home
invasion while he was in college, and he “REACT”ed by creating a “tool that
could be used to silently and discreetly alert a wide network, including
authorities, of an emergency and its location”.
The REACT Mobile app allows you to take a proactive approach to your family's personal safety. There are so many perfect “app”lications or should I say App-locations this easy to use, free app would truly not only make you feel safer but
actually be safer. You are in control of who your emergency contacts are, and how they will be notified in the case of an emergency. It could be by email, Twitter or Facebook.
The "Follow Me" feature allows the contacts you select to track your location in real-time.
The "I'm Safe" button allows you to let your contacts know you have arrived safely at your destination. It is also a perfect way for your kids to let you know they have arrived safely.
By pressing the "SOS Shield" you “send out a panic alert containing a link to your GPS location” to your emergency contacts.
By activating the SOS panic alert “you’re automatically prompted to dial 911”.
In an emergency no one wants to be fumbling with numbers or buttons on their cell phone.
When my children were young, my husband travelled for work
and I would have loved the security this app would have given me in the event
of a home invasion, or an emergency. I regularly drive by myself, or with the kids to
visit family that live out of town. In the event of a breakdown, getting lost, or an emergency the React
Mobile app “Follow Me” feature would allow my family at home and at my destination
to know I am safe.
The React Mobile app is perfect for Joggers and Walkers as well. I
love to go for walks in the beautiful parks and wooded areas that surround my
neighbourhood, but I am always uncomfortable being on my own, and often encounter no one on these walks. I don’t like to walk the same route for
safety reasons, but it also means no one knows the route I have taken. With the
React Mobile “Follow Me” feature my loved ones would know exactly where I am. Not only would this be great for me but, now
that my kids are older, they come and go much more independently. They take the
bus or ride their bikes to activities, or to see friends. I can’t remember the
number of times I have told them they must keep me informed of where they are, and the number of times they forget to call and let me know their
plans have changed and they are actually somewhere completely different. Should
there be an emergency I would have no idea where to start to look for them.
Plus, let’s face it I could do without spending Friday and Saturdays nights
worrying. The “Follow Me” feature would go a long way to help to eliminate that
worry.
Isn't it time you took a proactive APProach to your personal safety and checked out:
