About SafeSpot
SafeSpot draws the attention of people who care about you at times of need, and makes it easier for them to find you.
For further details, refer to the Help section available under the app's Menu button.
Create response groups based on locations you visit frequently, and add people who care about you to each group. Whenever you don't feel safe, start SafeSpot. Make sure your GPS is enabled, and select a response group.
Drag the spot upwards and hold it there as long as you don't feel safe. When the spot is active it is surrounded by a circle. Drag the spot back down to deactivate it.
If for some reason you let go, all response group members get a text message that lets them know you need them. This message contains a link showing your location on Google Maps, to make it easier for them to find you.
Suggest SafeSpot to everyone in your response groups. They don't ever have to use it themselves, but if they have SafeSpot installed, your distress signal will start an alarm on their phone, and let them view your location at the touch of a button.

Wish I could edit the text to provide specific instructions than just "help". Chances are, my family would just text back to me "what's wrong?" Defeating the apps purpose.

It only alerts my contacts some of the time and when I tested this while sitting at home, it said I was about 50 miles away in the middle of Lake Michigan. So far, this is nearly useless for emergency situations.

Was unable to determine location for such a long time. Not at all ideal for emergency situations.

Placed my location over 50 miles away from where I actually was. And my phone knew the correct location. Also, in the time it takes to open and use the app I could send a text that just said help. Useless.
