HOW DOES IT WORK? Install iOkay, register your parents and friends, and with a single touch on the green button, let them know that you’re OK and send them your exact location, or, with a single touch on the red button, you ask for help immediately . You can also send your GPS coordinates in real time. iOkay allows you to write custom messages and warnings, make calls, check a list with the main emergency numbers in Brazil, set safe zones in a map and tell your contacts every time you go through your safe zones, or show your contacts that your cell phone’s battery is running low, but you are OK. When both users have the iOkay app installed, the notifications are sent through the app, but whenever one of the users doesn’t have the app or doesn’t have a data connection, the message is sent via SMS, making sure that all the messages are sent and received. Unlike all the similar available apps, iOkay won’t track your location all the time, so it won’t invade your privacy. It’s just an extremely practical and efficient security tool, that allows you to ask for help from your contacts by simply pushing a button.
