## What is ScareHimAway?

ScareHimAway is a personal safety alarm app designed to keep you safer from potential threats, especially in the following situations:
- When you are jogging/walking alone at night
- When you travel alone
- When you need to get help in case of an emergency (loud alarm sound will get people's attention)
- When you hear weird noises while sleeping at night (potential house thief) 
- and so on......

What this app IS NOT:
This is just a simple app to play various alarm sound effects to scare the suspicious man away and get attentions from people around when you need help. BUT it will not call the police or mark down your location or anything like that. When you are in real danger, you should find a way to contact a policeman as soon as possible. 

How to use the app:
1. Select one of the four alarm sound effects - police siren, dog barking, car alarm, alarm ring.
2. Press and hold the big red button for 3 secs to start alarming. (Be careful, the sound effects are really loud!!)
3. If you need to, just click the big red button again to stop the alarm.

It is that simple. Install this app then your iPhone will be turn into a portable alarm device that will scare away the dangers.

### 1/5 — Not loud enough

*2022-08-05, version 1.0*

If I needed to use it in a moment of danger the sound would be barely audible to make anyone notice. If I could turn up the volume it might be useful. However, it took 3 seconds to initiate and in some cases didn’t work. If I was running or in danger, the delay could be problematic. Needs more tweaking to be useful.

### 1/5 — Sadly disappointed.

*2017-06-27, version 1.0*

Downloaded this app as i thought it could be useful and sad to say that it took more than 3 secs to sound. 
Also if you switched to the optional sounds (dog, car, alarm clock) it took way longer to sound. 
Deleting this app!

### 1/5 — Alarm

*2017-03-28*

Awful don't waste your dollar ! Not loud at ALL!

### 5/5 — Great app for hiking

*2016-10-19*

We hike a lot and carry bear spray. I downloaded it to see if it boots fast from the icon. It does. It remembers one of four alarm sounds picked before. Hold the big play button for 3 seconds and it starts. Tap it again and it quits. Very practical as described. Any strange, loud, noise can help scare even large critters or provide a few seconds to grab your pepper spray if you're carrying it. I like the simplicity and function. Thx.
