Talking about the Stop-ATTACK app for Android powered smartphones which can be quickly activated to record audio and video, and nevertheless sends out alerts to emergency contacts if there is threat to assault.
Several apps have already emerged that sound an alarm to family, friends and law enforcements (Police) in the event a smartphone owner feels threatened, faces an assault or suddenly gets nervous about their surrounding, could be in a collage, road, or in park etc.
According to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, one in five female collage students report being target of assault. Imagin a collage party with heavy achohol drinking, where women gets cornered by an assault’s drunken advances she finds difficult to escape.
Now, on here smartphone, she could quickly activate one of the best apps and send an alert mesage to chosen contacts, who could then track her current location, come to her rescue or, at the very least, interupt assault with a phone call.
Top in the list sits the app called “STOP-ATTACKâ€, currently available for free of chrage until February 8 for both the iPhone and Android users. It offers the same type of alerts but with the option of adding a call to 911. Once it’s activated, it also prompts your phone to being recorded audio and video that gets transmitted to a secure cloud-based storage account that can later be accessed as proof.
“If you feel uncomfortable, you can have the app on standby ready to go,†said STOP-ATTACK developer Tony Bright. “If you’re in a hostile situation you can discreetly record and if you get separated from your phone, you can access the information from the cloud.â€
Download STOP-ATTACK app and enter the names of your family members as contacts to alert. Tap the app and the screen will be filled withthe red STOP-ATTACK logo, the stand-by mode. Again tap, you’ll see that you are recording, and a call to 911 will be underway. With the swipe of a finger across a button, you can abort the call off.
You will also be receiving an email from STOP-ATTACK saying that you could access your files. With the app downloaded, you can hit your phone’s volume button to activate it without having to punch in your security code to get into your phone.
Actually, the STOP-ATTACK for iOS and Android costs $3.99 anually, although all the security apps have fees. MyForce is $120 anually, which it becomes the most expensive security app.
Bright’s company, Braxington Technologies [1] , is just now starting to publicize the app. He will be a vendor in the gift lounges for both the Grammy and Oscar awards shows. Soon I will be writing a post on top 10 best security apps for iPhone and Android (free/paid). Stay tuned!
