Alert Assist helps you contact your select group of people with one button press, you can send a pre-written group text message (up to 10 contacts) that includes your GPS coordinates and nearest known location. After sending, you’ll be prompted to call your listed primary contact. Whether it’s an emergency or a simple check-in, Alert Assist helps you make contact when it matters most. Always contact emergency services/first responders outside of this app when there is an emergency. The app has a default contact number for US emergency services (911) as the preset. You must change the number for your area/country. All messages are customizable and users have the choice of removing location information by deleting it in the preset messages.
