Rave Panic Button reduces the time before help reaches you in an emergency. For critical emergencies, activate one of the five Rave Panic Buttons to start dialing 9-1-1. When activated at a location configured for your organization, Rave Panic Button also notifies on-site individuals, getting you immediate assistance. For lower-severity issues not requiring a 9-1-1 call, you can use the Staff Assist feature to notify on-site individuals only. Using Staff Assist will not dial 9-1-1. When a Rave Panic Button 9-1-1 call is routed to a participating 9-1-1 center, the 9-1-1 call taker automatically receives real-time, critical incident information such as the emergency type, building floor plans, emergency response plans, and other critical details via Rave's patented Smart911 technology. Rave Panic Button is a product of Rave Mobile Safety, whose industry-leading public safety applications protect millions of people nationwide. Rave Panic Button is free, but works best when your school, business, or other organization subscribes to the service. Notes: • Some Rave Panic Button features require a data connection and access to your phone's location services. • Rave Panic Button works best when you enable Notifications and keep your phone connected to a Wi-Fi network. • You must be authorized by a participating organization to fully access Rave Panic Button’s features. The app automatically checks your authorization status during setup. • Always contact 9-1-1 in an emergency. Rave Panic Button makes it easy by dialing 9-1-1 for you, but you must click the "Call" button after activating Rave Panic Button in order to place the call.

About

Rouxte Pay

Features

Rouxte Pay replaces the scattered group texts with one calm place to ask the people you trust for a hand. Write your request once — “anyone heading out? need milk” — choose exactly who it goes to, and send. The right people get an instant notification. If no one answers within five minutes, Rouxte Pay sends one gentle reminder to the people who haven’t replied — and never nags again. When someone says yes, a private thread opens between just the two of you, and two-way live location turns on for the length of the request so you can find each other easily. The moment it’s marked done, location sharing switches off automatically. Rouxte Pay is private by design. There’s no public feed, no strangers, no browsing — requests only ever go to the specific people you choose. Your location is never tracked in the background; it only turns on after someone accepts, only between the two of you, and only until you’re done. Three looks to make it yours — Cream, Black, and Emerald — and it can follow your phone’s light/dark setting. A one-time purchase. No subscriptions, no tiers, no ads. Every feature, for everyone, from the moment you install.
