12 Personal Safety Apps Every Woman Should Download
Best for surviving an attack: Noonlight
Noonlight can manually override your physical functions when you’re too afraid to dial 911 or call for help. Here’s how it works: activate it when entering an area or situation in which you feel unsafe, and put your finger over the blue light that appears. When you feel safe again, take your finger off the blue light. It will turn red, and you’ll have a short period of time to enter your pin, stating that you’re safe. If you don’t enter it in that time frame, an alert will be sent to the police with your location. You can also enter your medical information in the app, in case you need to be resuscitated or taken to the hospital when the police arrive.
