Nobody to walk you back to your hotel or car after dark? This personal safety app may offer some peace of mind.
iWitness connects to emergency services and records your whereabouts. It is set up to work in 146 countries. International users can select the region, and the app automatically localizes to the emergency equivalent of 911.
Arm the iWitness app, and at the touch of a button or the screen, or by shaking the phone, you can start recording your predicament (for five minutes) and/or call 911. Be careful with the 911 feature. Once it’s armed, all it takes is a touch of the screen. The app is available for iOS and Android and costs $2.99 per month or $29.99 per year.
