Emergency Button (v. 1.7) Разработано Andluck |
Define a phone number and/or an email address and whenever you press the big red button, the distress signal will be sent out to these recipients along with your GPS/Network location (a google maps link) and a personalized message.
If you or a loved one ever walk through a dark alley, travel abroad or just need to alert someone of your whereabouts - this button will simplify explaining exactly where you are. Help can come faster and within GPS accuracy.
Emergency Button will only work if you're in a place with reception to at least send the SMS text message or email.
The widget can be added to your homescreen by home->menu button->add->Widgets->Emergency. The widget has 2 buttons and you have to press both within 5 seconds to make the app fire the distress signal. The double button is designed to minimize false positives.
None of your information is stored or saved by Andluck. This project is open source (BSD) and hosted on google code: http://code.google.com/p/emergencybutton/ so you can see exactly what's inside if you wish.
Disclaimer: this app is presented as is with no guarantee whatsoever. It won't work without reception or connectivity. You must make alternative communications arrangements to ensure that you can make emergency calls if needed. Please remember that Emergency Button by itself doesn't do emergency calls to any type of hospitals, law enforcement agencies, medical care unit or any type of emergency services.
Please feel free to email your thoughts, problems, ideas, etc to contact@andluck.com

[2012-09-08] Mr: Too slow Nice idea, but the sending itself seems to be too slow, due to delay spent on "Do you want to enable GPS?" and its powering on. I propose to send email/SMS twice: first time with approximate coordinates (based on cell stations) - this should take not more than 2 seconds, second time with real GPS coordinates (takes up to 30 seconds on my device). Or at least make this behavior tunable. 10x |

[2012-08-11] Ron: FANTASTIC I tested it by texting myself, and the map link was my PRECISE location. I'm a 911 dispatcher, and locating a caller can be difficult. This could truly save your life. |

[2012-05-01] Mike: Great Just one suggestion: Could the app be adjusted so it gives the phone's GPS a bit more time to turn on? I suffered a stroke and God forbid it happens again but it would be good to know I can send my location first time I push the red button. Apart from that excellent work and thanks. |

THEN my sister and I were at track practice and some drunk dude with a gun got pn the field! My mom was there to pick us up in two minutes. |
