Wenak

Wenak (Where are you): is an integrated solution for people in crisis and emergency situations, that helps you keep in touch with someone who cares about you by:
* Allowing you -when in danger- to send a prewritten SMS message with your location to the Emergency Contact that you have already chosen, just by pressing the Emergency button.
* and by allowing your Emergency Contact -when he is worried about you- to find where you are by sending you an SMS message with a Location Code (which is preset by you), and then the app will automatically reply with your location.
* Also the app will send an alert SMS message to your Emergency Contact including your location upon changing your phone’s SIM card that may indicate a safety warning like kidnapping or robbery.
*NEW* If you are in a very critical situation and you're not able to reach your phone, or if you had put your device in silent mode and you didn't notice that someone was calling you.. In either case when your Emergency Contact is worried about you and you didn't answer his calls, he can send you an SMS message with a Callback Code and the app will automatically make a call from your device to his number and set your speaker phone on, and that lets your emergency contact either to start talking trying to check up on you, or he just listens to the surrounding sounds trying to figure out the situation.


- Any message sent by the app will include a link which opens a Google's map showing your location.
- If the device can't detect your current location your last known location with its time and date will be sent instead (the app will periodically check your location every hour).
- Although the app doesn't necessary need an internet connection to reach you, when you receive any message with code the app will automatically enable mobile data on your device that increase the ability to reach you using other apps (like Android Device Manager for example..).
- Only the device that should be located, must have Wenak installed on it, but the other device that will locate you doesn't have to be an Android device at all, and of course doesn't need the app.


Non-emergency uses:
Although the app is used especially in emergency situations, it can also be used in many other situations, for example:
* If you are invited to a party but you get lost, you can use the “Emergency” button to send a message with your location to your host..
* If your phone was lost or stolen, you can find it by sending the location message code..
* And with the location message code, you can check for example if your child has arrived to his piano lesson, without interrupting his lesson to answer your call..
* If a senior person, a child, or someone with disability is not able to answer your calls, you can use the Callback code to check up on him.


Notice:
* Although your device uses to detect your location three different resources (GPS, GSM network, Wifi), many obstacles (like being indoors, or underground..), may make this operation difficult if not impossible. For best results you should always keep GPS enabled on your device, use AGPS if available, and having an internet connection.
* If at least one of the services is enabled in Settings, the app will be running in the background and its icon will be shown in the notification bar as a quick shortcut to send the Emergency message.You can stop the app from running in the background and at startup if you disable all the services in the Settings page.
