What’s the one thing you always have on you? Your cell phone. In an emergency, there’s no guarantee that you have the use of your hands. You will need to get help from the person that can help you NOW, not later. Currently, Americans make around 240 million 911 calls per year, which are routed through 8,900 dispatch centers, and regulators estimate that as many as 10,000 lives can be saved each year by reducing 911 response times by just one minute. Covert Alert offers users “Safety in Seconds,” by implementing several key features that are designed for real world emergencies like real-time GPS, live-streaming audio, emergency recordings, cloud storage for the recordings, instantaneous alerts to various safety nets, AI filtering of emergency type, geofencing, and more. Most safety apps on the market require the push of a button. Covert Alert is the only safety application on the market using hands free activation to notify user networks of emergency situations. The most important feature of this app is its ability to be activated covertly, and communicate directly with users’ chosen emergency contacts, all completely hands free. Upon downloading this app, the user has the option to customize three key phrases for three types of emergencies: crime, medical, and fire. Each emergency uses a different set of custom keywords, and if an emergency were to arise, the user simply states their keywords for that emergency type, even if the phone is locked. This triggers an emergency alert, and will aid in saving those valuable seconds in an emergency. With the free version of our app, users have the option to select up to five emergency contacts that emergency notifications will go to. This puts your safety back into the hands of those you trust most. Think of this first tier as Safety Net 1. Real-time GPS notifies the user’s emergency contacts of the exact location of the emergency and gives them an opportunity to track the situation with specific and valuable situational information. With the paid subscription, the user’s network has an opportunity to listen in with our live-streaming audio feature, which can drastically improve response time, and allow the user to provide even more situation information as the emergency event unfolds. Our in-app purchases give users more power when it comes to emergency situations than any other option on the market. Users have the option to purchase more emergency text messages, recording minutes, and more all within our in-app store. There will NEVER be advertisements in-app, personal data will not be collected, and the app only tracks location when armed in “Protection Mode,” because this is a safety app first and foremost. Personal safety has never been this high-tech and affordable…EVER! Features: Hands free, speech activation, which is triggered by user specific keywords or numbers stated while the app is in “Protection Mode.” Instantaneous alerts, which send messages and real time GPS location to designated contacts, informing them of the situation that the user is in. Recording up to 15 minutes (with the option to purchase more) in any emergency situation, which is saved to the user's device and backed up in a personal cloud that can be accessed at www.covertalert.com. Full customization of keywords used to trigger alerts sent to designated contacts. App Highlights: Personal safety app with voice activation. Record audio in emergency situations. Live-streaming direct to contacts. Share GPS location with friends and family.

Covert Alert uses GPS in the background. Note: continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life.
