We look at some of the top rated women’s safety apps available for your smartphone:
bSafe You
You can set up your personal safety network of family, friends or coworkers, share your location if you want, ask someone to “walk you home” via the app’s live GPS trace feature and do the same for another friend. The app also has an alarm that will trigger if you have not checked in on time, the Fake Call feature to make your phone ring when required, the Guardian alert button and an I’m Here feature which tells selected people where you are right now.
iGoSafely
So what if you’re actually in trouble and don’t have the time or means to open your phone, locate the safety app and use it? This one swings into action when you shake your phone or when you unplug your headphones. It will notify your emergency contact (s) via text message or email, share your GPS location and a 30 second audio recording captured by the phone’s mic.
Vith U
This is an emergency app that is activated when you press the power button of your phone twice. It sends out alerts every two minutes to your pre-fed emergency contacts and leads them to your location. It also has a Submit feature that lets you share incidents with a popular TV channel.

It can help to let your family know you’re safe when out, to coordinate a night out with friends, let family members know estimated time of arrival home, find friends at a crowded location such as a concert or mall and also lets you share on social networks.
Watch Over Me
This app tells you if you’ve entered a high crime area, let’s chosen contacts follow you via GPS, lets the user send emergency messages, and also switches on the phone’s camera when you trigger the alarm.
