SAS - “Safety and Stories” is a free mobile application that can enhance individual safety and allow people to actually use the mobile as a safety device. In other words SAS puts safety in user’s hand, pocket and bags. This app can be used in various circumstances, and will notify your family and friends with your current location. They can follow up with you then. “Stories” section of the app is considered as social media of safety. Here you can read and write stories, real life incidents, humorous content, etc. You may also find recent news happening in and around Bangkok, Thailand.
There are quite a few amazing features in the app. One of them is called “Milestone”, where you can set points on your route map to notify your guardians that you are on right and safe track. Another exciting feature is “Timer”, where one can set in-app stop watch to reach particular destination. “Check in” feature enables you to claim your safety status if any incident occurred in town.
Use SAS to:
- Create discrete contact list as Guardian for the important people in your life.
- Share your location (when in trouble, danger and so on) with who you want, when you want.
- Receive automatic notifications when friends and family needs your help.
- Receive automatic notifications when a stranger (any SAS user) within 1 km needs your help.
- When a mishap occurs, Check in to claim that you are safe.
- Set Milestone while travelling so that your friends and family can know when you reach certain points.
- Use Timer as in-app stop watch.
- Receive news about things happening in Thailand.
Though safety is the main reason why this application was developed but we also want our users to take ‘precautions’. Users can share about risky locations or incidents they personally experienced. There are various other means for users to get such information but it would be very convenient for users if they could get both protection and precaution at the same place.
You can add/delete Guardian at anytime, and also can choose to which guardian you want to share your location, which is perfect for anyone who just needs a little "me" time.
Stop guessing. If you often find yourself texting "You reached home safe?" or "When you will reach destination?", SAS is the app for you.
Disclaimer: There will be continued usage of location services while the app is in the background can excessively drain battery.
Continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life.
