About

Help Me SOS Alert

Read full description

Help Me SOS Alert can call for help out loud for you in the simplest way when you suddenly feel unwell or have difficulty speaking or moving. When you feel unwell, have difficulty moving, cannot express yourself clearly, or still have a brief moment of awareness and ability to act in a sudden situation, you can tap the HELP button on the main page. The app will repeatedly play a local help voice message and open the iOS call confirmation screen, helping people nearby notice you and assist you in contacting your emergency contact. The app currently supports interfaces in more than ten languages and can play help voice messages in multiple local languages alternated with English based on the system language, helping people in different language environments understand the request for help. The app does not place calls automatically. The user must manually confirm the call on the iOS system screen. The emergency contact phone number is saved only on the device. It is not uploaded to a server and is not shared with third parties. This app does not replace 120, 110, 119, or iPhone Emergency SOS. In a real emergency, please contact your local emergency services first.
