The app aims to change people’s habits by making them aware of their situation and any possible dangers. It also will allow the user to be more comfortable when they are traveling by allowing them to see a barometer of their security level.
Other features include:
- Geolocation
- Emergency route location to the nearest Police Department
- Contact authorities with one click
- Report danger if you see a crime or act of terror
