As useful as they are, our smartphones are not perfectly user-friendly. How many times do we fumble with those touch-screen buttons, pressing wrong numbers and apps? Well, imagine that you’re in a dangerous situation and need to call 9-1-1 very, very quickly. The average smartphone will take up to 9 keystrokes before you can connect to emergency services. Your heart’s racing, you’re fumbling to unlock the phone…and precious time is being lost.
Well, how would you like an app that could connect you to emergency services with one tap on your phone?
MyForce is a new application that directly connects with emergency services and will provide them with a user’s exact location, accurate physical description, photo, known safety issues, and any medical conditions. The monthly service is $11.99 or $119 per year for a full security system available 24/7. MyForce is the first and only system to provide a security monitoring team that responds, tracks, and follows up with every alert. Seems like a lot, maybe, but think about how much more useful this app is than Angry Birds!
