"bSafe is a safety service that can easily be used by anyone. I see the potential for solving real issues for children and parents and anyone looking for solutions to increase their security. Everyone needs a service like this." - Jada Pinkett Smith TOP-RATED PERSONAL SAFETY APP bSafe prevents crimes like violence, sexual assaults, and rape as well as creates evidence in cases where it has already occurred. bSafe gives you ground-breaking technology that prevents and documents violence and threats for your loved ones, employees, students, and your community. Voice Activation, Live Streaming, Audio/Video Recording, Fake Call, and Follow Me in combination with location and tracking are some of the features that can help you stay safe. THIS IS HOW BSAFE WORKS Voice Activation: Enable the SOS alarm by touch or voice even if your cell phone is placed inside your jacket, pocket, or purse. You do not need to press the SOS button to activate it. Live Streaming: When the SOS is activated, your guardians will get your location and can track you. Guardians will be able to see and hear everything that is happening in real-time via live streaming and can track your location at the same time. Automatic Recording: When the SOS alarm is activated, your phone will automatically start to record both audio and video. The recorded files will be sent to your guardian’s cell phone. Fake Call: Get your phone to call you and get out of unpleasant or threatening situations. Guardians: Set up your own social and personal security network of friends and family (guardians). Invite as many as you want. Follow Me: Ask your guardians to follow you home with Follow Me live GPS tracking. They will be able to see you live via the map on their mobile. Once you have made it home safely, your guardians will receive a message about it.
