Once you download LocateMe to your iPhone, all you have to do is push a button. The app will then use your GPS information and send it along with your contact information to the police so that they can quickly track down where you are.
This app is great not only if you need assistance but also if you get lost. It's free of charge and you can pinpoint your exact coordinates even if you lose signal on your iPhone!
My SafetyPin App
My SafetiPin was designed to observe and calculate the area's safety score and alert you through notifications. The app ranks places by auditing them under 9 parameters: lighting, visibility, openness, number of people around you, presence of security guards, public transportation available, feeling (how safe you feel there), gender usage (percentage of genders near you), and walk path (roads or spaces to walk for you). It is also a free app.
The app collects your location data and analyses it to estimate the area's safety score. In addition, you can use the app to search for alternative routes to avoid unsafe areas.
With a single click, the app lets you call emergency contacts. In addition, it’s one of the best apps for women’s safety, offering features like lighting availability, the openness of the location, security, etc. to provide a safety score.
