Alert: A New App To Use When You're In Danger

Follow CBSDFW.COM: Facebook | Twitter

An app I want to tell you about today is called Alert.

This is an app that can be your first alert when you're in danger.

When you push the Alert button, you can do a couple of things at the same time. You can text where you are and conference call your most important contacts to help with your situation. It also uses the Health app data to monitor you and let your contacts know if you're in some kind of health danger. Such as high blood pressure, diabetes, allergies and others. It also lets you go straight to 911 if it needs that kind of emergency help.

Alert. It's a free app on iTunes and Android. It even works with your Apple Watch. And there are in-app purchases.
