About

Faver App

Features
Read full description

Faver is designed to create a link between a person in danger and his or her contacts. The monitoring function starts with placing a finger anywhere on the screen, then the screen goes black and monitoring is in progress. When you feel safe again, you lift your finger from the screen, and within 5 seconds, you must enter your Personal Code to stop the monitoring. If you end up in an emergency situation and therefore leave the screen without entering your code, the app sends a push message to your selected contacts that you need help. The contacts who accept will have the following options: - See your location on a map. - Follow you live if/when you move after the alarm. - See others who have accepted the alarm and their distance to your location. - Write with the other contacts to ensure you get the best help. NB. Activate the open network and increase the chance of help, both locally and when you are away from your own contacts, e.g. other cities and countries. Another function is the panic alarm, which immediately sends a message to your contacts by double-pressing the "panic button" You can choose between a silent alarm or a siren! Both options will send an Alarm to your friends, but if you choose with a siren, the phone's speaker will emit a loud siren to attract attention to you.
