When I was five years old, I moved from inner city Baltimore
to the quiet suburbs of Northern Virginia. I always knew that suburban life
wasn’t for me and growing up, I had an itch to move back to a more urban
environment. When I was 18, I chose to begin my college career in Philadelphia.
The shops, the food, the culture – it was exactly how I pictured inner city
life as an adult.

However, one major downside to inner city life is the crime.
As a young female, it is crucial to be street smart and avoid situations that
might cause you harm. When the owner of React Mobile, Robb, introduced his new
personal safety app to me, I knew it was a must-have for any city girl or
college student! React Mobile helps you turn your smartphone into a powerful
lifeline.

I got the chance to speak with Robb, and ask him
a few more questions about React Mobile. Here are some of the highlights of

a few more questions about React Mobile. Here are some of the highlights of
this must-have app:
“Follow-me” Feature: This feature allows you to have your
trusted contacts track you in real-time whenever you’re concerned for your
safety. With the push of a button, you can send an SOS alert containing your
GPS coordinates to select emergency contacts via text message and email with an
option for an alert to be posted on Facebook and Twitter. Once the SOS alert is
activated, you’re automatically prompted to dial 911.

International Support: Not in the U.S.? Are you studying
abroad? This app will still work for you! Users also have the ability to choose
which country they are visiting (or living in) from our settings tab and when
they trigger an SOS alert they will be prompted to dial the appropriate
emergency authority depending on where they are (ex: if they are in the UK the
app will prompt a user to dial 112 not 911).

Social Network Integration: SOS alerts can be posted to
Facebook and Twitter – In the event of an emergency we want users to have the
capability to alert as many people as possible. We are differentiating ourselves
from the competition by offering users the option to post their emergency
alerts to Facebook and Twitter with a link to their location.

White Label/Custom Branding: We are differentiating
ourselves from competitors by providing corporate and educational institutions
with our custom branding opportunities. React Mobile’s Private Label service is
a cost effective and easy to implement layer of protection that allows
institutions to brand our application as their own. Our private label opportunities
allow schools and corporations to focus on delivering a powerful risk
mitigation tool to employees without having to go spend the resources and time
developing a comprehensive solution like React on their own. Unlike other
personal safety products such as pepper spray, rape whistles, guns, tasers,
etc., React Mobile, is a safety product that cannot be used against a victim.
All that is required is a Internet signal, WiFi, or cell coverage to work. Our Private label product is a cost
effective way to take advantage of the safety benefits that technology can
provide. React Mobile is a solution that
is affordable for people to pick up independently or for corporations to sell
as a benefit to others which helps to drive brand loyalty and employee morale. You can find out more about React Mobile’s

React Mobile is Free: Unlike many of our competitors we are
offering our product as a free app as we believe that it is a safety tool that
everyone with a smartphone should have at their disposal. Unlike the
competition, we impose no charge for the use of key features and we don’t
require a users’ emergency contacts to have installed the app.

Automatic 911 prompt: Because it is critical to alert the
authorities when you are in trouble, our app automatically prompts users to
dial 911 if an alert is activated.

This app is available for download for the iPhone and
Android, and I highly recommend this for all of my inner city fashionistas and
college students! You can use it while you’re on campus, visiting a friend at
another college, or while studying abroad.

I’m very happy I downloaded this app (and so is my concerned
mother!) Now I feel safe and secure while I’m out and about in the city!
