SOS iAlert

Platform: iOS

Price: $0.99

An app that works great in theory, if the iPhone is tracking your location, the least it can do is inform significant others when you are in trouble.

In practice though, if you are in trouble, are you likely to be able to get to your iPhone and open an app to inform others that you are feeling unsafe. And is there an easy way to notify people that you are now not feeling unsafe?

Could this be the app that cried wolf?

Either way, I hope you never need to use it.
