PhoneFlare shares your location with friends, family and school when in danger using sophisticated tech. 100% Free and Volunteer Run.
The app works by texting friends and family your location when in danger and automatically calls your school's safety dispatch if you're on a supported college campus or university. Triggering an alarm is as easy as ripping headphones or an accessory from the audio jack, pressing a button, or setting a check-in time you fail to meet. Advanced features prevent coercion and allow audio recording during emergencies. The app even catalogs the UDIDs of nearby devices as potential evidence.
There are lot of situations where you might not feel safe while on college campus or off school grounds. This safety app is an excellent choice when walking between classes or after dark.

PhoneFlare is totally free with all server and accessory costs being paid with donations or out of pocket by our volunteers. Free accessories are being manufactured to hand out on campuses and women's shelters. While designed to curtail instances of sexual assault on campuses, PhoneFlare can have practical applications for everyone, including children and the elderly (we are rolling out support in select retirement communities).
