ReactPlus
The
iStore, in partnership with CAP (Community Active Protection), has
launched ReactPlus, a panic button app that has features to help protect
users in a variety of potential dangerous situations and request help
at the tap of a button, no matter where they are in South Africa.
After
signing up, South Africans can now jog, cycle, train or drive anywhere
with more peace of mind knwoing that they have 24/7 access to
country-wide armed response. Built for both iPhone and Apple Watch,
ReactPlus allows users to activate an alert when their iPhone is not
within reach, via Apple Watch Cellular. ReactPlus works independently of
an iPhone if one has the watch.
Should
one’s iPhone get stolen, users can still activate an alert on their
Apple Watch Cellular and get immediate help from the closest armed
response.
Personal safety features of ReactPlus:
- Help Me – Once activated the ReactPlus app broadcasts the user’s location to all the nearest responding security partners as well as CAP’s 24 hour command centre, which tracks one in real time and assists the responder by providing required information. Armed responders will then be dispatched and navigated to the location of the iPhone or Apple Watch Cellular that has activated the panic.
- Meet – This feature allows use of ReactPlus when meeting a stranger at any location outside the home. When “Meet” is triggered, ReactPlus immediately prompts the user to enter the meeting address. A safe meeting window is then assigned. Once the scheduled meeting is completed, ReactPlus checks in with users to ensure that they are safe. This is validated with a unique security code that would have been chosen at the beginning of the meeting. Should no response be received, or the code entered incorrectly, armed response is immediately dispatched to the location.
- Ride – “Ride” has been built to ensure users have a companion checking whether they arrived safely at their destination. Users can trigger the “Ride” function before they commence their trip, ReactPlus will ask them to confirm their destination and expected arrival time. Once their expected arrival parameters have been met, ReactPlus will automatically check-in to see if they are safe. This will be validated with a security code that would have been provided at the beginning of their trip. Should no response be received, or the code be entered incorrectly, armed response is immediately dispatched to the location.
