Life Rescue | Ask for Help 1.0

This app is designed to send pre-set distress message to your parent, guardian, close friend, mate or anybody that you think will respond with your distress message. The distress message will contain your prepared message and optionally added your geo-location from Google service. If you will meet with somebody, the name of the person, meeting place and person’s number will be also included in the distress message if set.

What if you have been kidnapped and the phone is still in your pocket or in your bag? Depending on your “resend” setting, the phone will continue to send distress message with your present location using cell triangulation or GPS if available.
