Do you ever worry about your safety when traveling? Whether you\u2019re escaping for a weekend retreat or traveling across Europe, safety should be on the mind of every traveler. Besides being in new, unfamiliar locations, language barriers can make communication difficult. In a disaster or emergency, most people wouldn\u2019t know what number to call for help. Fortunately, there\u2019s a new app called React Mobile that\u2019s helping to bring mobile security and peace of mind to adventurous travelers on the go.<\/p>\n

React Mobile<\/a> is free to download and helps you turn your smartphone into a powerful lifeline. The app has a \u201cFollow Me\u201d feature that lets your self-selected contacts track your whereabouts in real time whenever you want. Simply touch the \u201cI\u2019m Safe\u201d button to let them know when you\u2019ve arrived at your destination.<\/p>\n

In an emergency, press the SOS shield on the app to send out a panic alert containing a link to your GPS location to select emergency contacts via text message and email, which can optionally be posted to Facebook and Twitter. Once the SOS alert is activated, you\u2019re automatically prompted to dial 911.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re traveling outside of the US, you have the ability to choose which country you\u2019re visiting (or living in) from the settings tab, and when you trigger an SOS alert, you will be prompted to dial the appropriate emergency authority depending on where you are (e.g.<\/em>, if you are in the U.K., the app will prompt a user to dial 112\/999, not 911).<\/p>\n

React Mobile is available on iPhone and select Android smartphones and has world travelers covered with availability in 39 countries and four continents including the U.S., Canada, Mexico, European Union, Australia, China, Japan, Israel, Jamaica, Philippines, Thailand, Brazil and Argentina.<\/p>\n

React Mobile developers are currently working on expanding its international availability so users feel safe while traveling.<\/p>\n
