ArcAngel for Android
Wow!! What a great app. On Monday Jan. 12, I received a push notification from the app notifying me that there was a mass casualty event reported in DC at the l'enfant plaza metro station. Luckily I wasnt on the train but its very reassuring to know that in the case of an emergency like that, this app will provide me with real time help and directions from professional security personnel. I am going to make my whole family to download this app... highly recommend!
Alerted me to nearby demonstrations in DC, showed the area of moving disturbances on the map, and asked if I was OK. Recommended avoiding the area during the evening commute due to traffic snarl ups caused by the demonstrators. Great concept/service for famlies and business.
I think this is a great idea for a very worthwhile application however the implementation and business model are far from ready for trials. I suspect the developer has never worked in the field of consumer applications. 1. Much to difficult to sign up - it should have a web based method to collect all the requested information. 2. No trial - they expect to jump directly into a paid subscription model - not worth trying given the poor front end. 3. No clear statement of "Trust" we are asked to give up our location and personal information - we need to be assured that the provider protects that information. Aside from that I hope that a new version will emerge that will be worth testing.
Very poor. I would have to agree with the prior evaluation. I got on Google Play and found the application. Oh look it is free with in app purchases. I install. Go thru a ton of personal information. It asks me to log in and Bam!! Now I have to play just to log in. I have no idea what the program does or looks like (I.e. interface issues). I am not a programmer I am a user. I have never seen a alpha or beta test that costs money to use. In app purchases means if after the install I will buy them.

I was at a T-Mobile store when a shooting occurred at the Walmart next door. Arcangel alerted me of the emergency and asked if I was safe. After I said that I was ok, my wife received a text telling her that I was safe! I would definitely recommend this app to anyone!
