Send Current Location in an Emergency  by appstar

appstar says: Location Services is one of the hottest iPhone features today. There are a lot of location sharing apps; mostly for social sharing and tracking purposes. My intention is to pick simple apps that can send your current location in an emergency in the shortest time.
appstar's picks
  1. SOS Pro - Emergency Location Tracker
    SOS Pro - Emergency Location Tracker This one is a new kid in the block and i like it because of its pure simplicity. Its able to send SMS & Email containing your current location to multiple contacts with just one touch. It can also place a call.
  2. iSOS! GPS - Emergency Locator
    iSOS! GPS - Emergency Locator Similar app to SOS-Pro, Sends SMS & Email. SOS-Pro Scores over iSOS for its one touch SOS feature, Call a contact feature & much better UI
  3. Silent Bodyguard - Your Personal Panic Button
    Silent Bodyguard - Your Personal Panic Button Again an app that does almost the same things as SOS-Pro & iSOS but it has a very tacky UI & is $9.00 heavier than both the apps above.

Here's a link to my boyfriend's Emergency App:

If you dont know where you are, the Emergency Sevices can't track your mobile any better than to a square mile.
However with this App, it uses GPS and gets your exact location. You also don't need to be able to speak the language in any country, as the app sends a text to the Emergency Services which is automatically translated, with your details (that you fill in yourself, upon purchasing the app)including your medical conditions/allergies.
You need less signal, as you are just sending a text.
You dont need to remember your details or medical allergies.
Also if you are unable to speak, as in you can't breathe, or you have been kidnapped you can still contact the Emergency Services.
No other app sends info directly to the Emergency Services, which I think sets this Emergency App apart.
