Best for living in a new city: Watch Over Me

If you are in a situation where even looking at your phone might aggravate your potential attacker, this app can save your life. Simply giving it a shake sends your GPS location and an emergency message to your contacts. The app also has cool features like notifications that tell you when you’ve entered a high-crime area, and the ability to set a time frame for when you’d like to be watched over. If you don’t hit the “I’m safe” button by a certain time, an emergency alert will be sent out to your contacts.
