Guard911 is a mobile panic button app. In the event of an active shooting emergency, a user presses the main Guard911 panic button. As the app is dialing 911, an alert is immediately sent to the smartphones of all federal, state and local, ON and OFF duty, law enforcement officers who are in close proximity to the location and who belong to the Hero911 Network. Additionally, an intra-location alert is simultaneously sent to the smartphones of all users and a mapped location of the initial alert is displayed (mapping depends on cell coverage). Guard911 also alerts all other protected locations within a 5 mile radius of the initial alert. Guard911 is also listed in the AT&T FirsNet App Catalog as an emergency app for first responders. Please be aware that continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life.

Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: TeacherEase at every 3 weeks against Guard911's every 5 months. TeacherEase also leads on ratings volume (355 vs 3) and review sentiment (42% vs 33%). Guard911's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.6) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Guard911 holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: TeacherEase has 355 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 33% of Guard911's written reviews are positive against 42% of TeacherEase's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Guard911 ships an update every 5 months, TeacherEase every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 2, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
