Safety apps worth considering
Choose tools that fit your preferences (tracking vs. non-tracking, trusted contacts):
- WalkSafe+ – UK-based app with journey-sharing, a safety map highlighting accredited safer spaces, and localised advice
- Hollie Guard – Personal safety app from the Hollie Gazzard Trust. Discreet alerts, journey monitoring and a “meeting timer” that triggers an alert if you don’t check in
- bSafe – SOS with voice activation, live audio and/or video streaming to contacts and automatic recording. (Check privacy settings and data usage. Always review an app’s privacy policy and test features with a trusted friend before relying on them)
