DistressSOS

This app spawned from Greg Hand's emails about the crime around campus. Sometimes you do not always have someone to walk with, but with this app you can have the ability to let people know where you are at with just a simple phrase of your choosing. Open the app, type in your phrase, select your contacts, press start, and put your phone back in your pocket. Once the phrase is said your selected contacts will receive your SOS with your location.

The coolest feature of this app is that the functionality that listens for the phrase runs in the background and you can just put it back in your pocket and no one will notice when you utter the phrase except you.

This app is for anyone and everyone that wants to feel a little more safe.
