Walking alone late at night? Jogging early in the morning? Unfamiliar with new surroundings? For life’s sticky situations, the Onelink Safety App is an ideal companion that goes where you go and provides the peace of mind that emergency assistance is only a Siri voice command away.
The intuitive app acts as a “safety concierge” that connects users to emergency contacts when an urgent need arises and provides valuable information so that help can be dispatched if needed. In case of emergency, a user can send an alert through the Onelink Safety App via a Siri command or a tap on a connected Apple Watch or iPhone. The app automatically delivers the device’s location through live GPS tracking, as well as the user’s profile to up to five pre-set recipients.
Friends and family members can respond by in-app texting with a number of prompted pre-set responses, ranging from “Are you okay?” and “Are you hurt?” to “On my way” and “I’m calling 911” thanks to push notifications and GPS tracking and ability to view a map with contact’s location. The original sender then has the option to choose from a number of pre-set indicators, including “In danger, call 911” and “I need help,” or “I’m not hurt” to keep his or her contacts informed. In addition to these emergency responses, the app also allows users to send check-in notifications to multiple contacts, using prompted pre-set responses like “Checking in.”
Ideal for people with active lifestyles, as well as those who live alone or travel frequently, the Onelink Safety App is designed to provide an enhanced sense of security by connecting users to help quickly and efficiently.
Set-up is seamless and includes uploading a personal profile with name, date of birth and physical descriptors, including height, weight, eye and hair color, which the recipient can provide to emergency responders if necessary.
The Onelink Safety App works exclusively with iOS devices and is available through the Apple App Store for $1.99 plus tax per month and also offers a free one-month trial.
