Best for surviving an attack: StaySafe
The StaySafe app can be good to activate any time you’re entering a situation where you think there is the possibility of harm, like a first date with someone you met online, or a night jog. Set your timer, and if you don’t check in as safe by the time it goes off, an alert along with your location will be sent to your contacts. It also has one very clever feature we appreciate: you’ll be assigned a pin to type in when you genuinely want to turn off your alarm, but you’ll also be assigned a decoy pin you can type in when an attacker is forcing you to turn off your alarm – the decoy pin sends an alert that you need help.
