Do you want to call only one person for help? A few of them? The neighborhood or the whole community? It’s all up to you.
Make your closest friends and family members your Private Heroes. Your detailed SOS call will reach them wherever they are.
When you need help, people and services that do not have the Heroes Nearby app on their phones, can be notified by SMS and email. They will see the details of your SOS call in real-time on the web via a special link.
Sometimes your family members and friends are not around to help you, nor are they closest to the scene. Then, you can rely on the Heroes Nearby Community – selfless, good people who are willing to help you.
Your emergency call should be heard by as many people as possible so you can choose to publish your SOS call on Facebook.
Provide valuable and useful information to your helpers and maximize your chances to get the quickest and the best help in every life situation.
Be prepared for any situation. You can use ready-made SOS templates or create your own. Templates allow you to pre-set an SOS message that will go to helpers (Heroes) in case of activation. Previously prepared SOS calls can be sent with a single click. This is especially important in critical situations when there is no time for hesitation.
For example, a person suffering from asthma could prepare an SOS call in advance, which in case of activation would go to his doctor, family members and friends.
For the case of a physical attack, it is wise to prepare an SOS call that will, in addition to your family and friends, alert all the heroes in your immediate vicinity as well as the emergency services, and so on.
It is important to record everything that happens on the scene. You can attach photos, video and audio recordings to each SOS call. This provides key details about the place, circumstances or attackers.
After sending the SOS call, all recipients will receive information about your exact location on the interactive map and real-time tracking will be activated (it lasts until the SOS call is canceled). This can be particularly useful if your location changes, in the case of running from attackers or abduction, for example.
If you are a witness to a situation that requires help (e.g. fights, destruction of property, criminal activity), you have the option to turn on the Witness mode, record everything on the spot and send it with an SOS call. The recipients will see that you are not in danger, but it does not mean that they should not help.
The application is carefully optimized and does not drain the battery. In fact, the user may notice increased consumption only when he/she has an active alert (when he/she called for help or responded to a call for help as a Hero). Only then is real-time tracking enabled and the user’s location is taken every 10 seconds.
When an alert is activated, the app consumes the battery like any other navigation app and in that case the battery is not consumed by the app itself but mostly by the GPS. In all other cases, battery consumption is negligible.
The app has a built-in intelligent system that estimates the GPS usage intensity during an active alert in order to optimize battery usage. In the case of the alert being activated for a longer period of time, the intelligent system begins to optimize the battery usage (the app will still consume the battery but significantly less). In all other cases, battery consumption is negligible.
It is important to mention that the app does not have to be turned on for the Hero (or family and friends) to receive a call for help.
In extremely dangerous situations such as physical assault or a medical emergency, every second matters. FLIC is a smart, wireless, SOS-push button which connects with the Heroes Nearby App on your mobile phone so you can send an SOS with one touch without having to search for your phone or open the app!
Its indoor range is up to 50m with a battery life of up to 3 years (replaceable). The FLIC button is coin-sized, reliable and lightweight. You can pin it to your clothing or a purse, attach it to a car dashboard or just keep it somewhere at home. Highly recommended by safety experts!
