I’m feeling a lot safer walking alone

I no longer feel so vulnerable walking alone. I’ve set up my Home location and emergency contacts and can now easily switch the route off and on as I make my way home walking ON Bus OFF etc.. easy.

Reassuring App

As a single female it is reassuring to have this app that allows me to let friends know when I am out and about at anytime.

Fab!

Such a fab app! As someone who works in London and often finishes late it’s so so reassuring to know I’m a little safer/my next of kin will be alerted if something unexpected happens! Deffo worth it!

Puts my mind at ease

I live in quite a large city after moving from a rural area. I always felt quite nervous when out at night so I downloaded this app. I think it’s brilliant, and now that I have access to more activities I will be using when I go out to ride my horse. My family definitely feels less worried knowing where I am if my horse decides to boot me 😅. Fantastic app and I’m excited for future updates.

FAQ

What does Becon do?

Becon is a smart safety app that privately protects your everyday journeys and activities. It uses technology to monitor your device for unusual changes in motion, speed, or location. If a potential safety issue is detected, it sends you a timed notification. If you don't respond, it automatically alerts your pre-selected emergency contacts with your location and the reason for the alert.

How does Becon ensure privacy?

Becon is designed to be private. You do not need to share your live location with others or notify anyone when using the app. Emergency contacts are only alerted if a safety trigger is activated and you do not respond to the check-in notification. This means your privacy is maintained until an actual safety concern arises.

What are the different plans or costs associated with Becon?

Becon offers a free plan that protects walking journeys. For additional activities like runs, cycles, and other journey types, users can upgrade to Becon+. Becon+ provides fully personalizable safety settings and the option to share journeys with emergency contacts, including live location tracking after an alert.

How does Becon detect safety issues without user interaction?

Becon monitors your device for specific changes that could indicate a safety issue. These include if your device stops moving for an unusually long time, starts moving much faster than expected, deviates significantly from your intended route, or if Becon loses connection to your device for an extended period. These automated detections allow the app to function even if you are incapacitated or unable to interact with your device.

Do my emergency contacts need to have the Becon app to receive alerts?

No, your emergency contacts do not need to download or sign up for the Becon app to receive alerts. When a safety trigger is activated and you do not respond to the check-in notification, your emergency contacts will automatically be alerted via SMS. This message will include your current location and the reason for the alert, making it hassle-free for them to assist.
