The Just Us App vs Deaftawk

JUSTUS is the app to help keep you safe and alive by alerting your contacts and community of your emergency. Imagine red lights flashing behind you, or heavy footsteps approaching towards you, or any situation that just doesn’t feel right. Your heart is pounding, your mind is racing but at the command of your voice or push of a button, help is on the way. With the Just Us app, you just need one touch to take control of the situation and help keep yourself safe. Just Us uses hands-free, voice command technology to activate alerts, initiate live-stream video and send the user’s GPS location to five designated contacts. Check In: Assures contacts the user is safe with an updated pinned location. Free alerts are available via text messages to include a user’s pinned location. JUST US Heads Up: Activate Live-Stream and alerts contact user is being pulled over by police JUST US Help: Alerts contacts, as well as, nearby users with GPS location and live video in real time, that concerns are heightened. $4.99 monthly or $49.99 annual subscription required to live-stream video in real time. Should users opt in, the livestream of the incident will also simulcast on their Facebook page. JUST US was created by a Black Woman for the Black and Brown community because “Sometimes justice is up to JUST US”. Studies show black and brown drivers are pulled over more frequently than white drivers and they are disproportionately injured or killed during police contacts. Hate crimes have hit a 16-year high and every day activities, such as jogging, taking out the trash, or using a rideshare can quickly turn dangerous. Helpful hints: For optimum operation, enable location, camera, and mic permissions on your phone. Use a car phone holder, angled towards the driver’s window to best capture an encounter with law enforcement, should one occur. Questions or issues regarding the app?
