HOUSTON - In an age when there's an app for everything, a new one uses a lot of your smart-phone's capabilities to let people know you might be in trouble.
At the press of a button, “MyFlare” is designed to send a package of alerts to a pre-determined list of emergency contacts to get help where and when you need it.
Houston-area personal safety teacher Richard Bloom promotes the product locally.
He says, “It utilizes all of the essential resources of the smart phone: 911, GPS, audio, visual, text, email, all done instantly, automatically, simultaneously, and continuously just by pushing one button."
Users do need to be aware of their surroundings and potential dangers, in order for “MyFlare” to be effective. It's available on iPhone, Android and soon, Blackberry, for a one-time charge of $9.99.
