PhoneFlare shares your location with friends, family and school when in danger using sophisticated tech. 100% Free and Volunteer Run.
A willful teenager seldom thinks of their own safety and parents understandably worry. PhoneFlare is a terrific way for teens to check in with their device and have a safety net in times of crisis. Teens can maintain their independence, and being on their phone constantly as it is, they can simply check in or rip their headphones out if in danger.
Teen safety has never been so unobtrusive. And parents are alerted the moment their teen is in danger with updated GPS information. Best of all, PhoneFlare is 100% free for teenagers, parents- everyone!
PhoneFlare texts friends and family your location when in danger and automatically calls your school's safety dispatch if you're on a supported campus. Triggering an alarm is as easy as ripping headphones or an accessory from the audio jack or charging port, 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.
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).
