From the developer of Atmosphere, the hit weather app, and Speech, the virtual assistant, comes Lifeline, the app that, when pinned to your start screen, allows the user to, in a single tap, call emergency services from their start screen. One confirmation message is displayed to stop an accidental call.
But this isn't what makes Lifeline great. Before I go on to explain the killer feature of Lifeline, take a look at this stat:
90% of cell phone 911 calls cannot be traced to an exact location.
Lifeline solves this problem.
What lifeline does is speak a distress message, through your phones speakers, that the operator or anyone around you can hear. It includes location, type of emergency, and other things. In , say, a hostage situation, you can mute the speaker and have your phone communicate to the operator for you via text.
Lifeline will release in less then a month. It is planned to debut on Windows Phone, Android, and, after launch, iOS for 0.99.
