Mobile Alert and Family Guard by LifeFone Apps were designed with the intentions of maintaining a sense of peace of mind, no matter where you or your loved ones are or what situation you may find yourself in and works anywhere in the USA. The best part is that the app is free to download and the service, depending on which fits your needs best, ranges from Mobile Alerts (individuals) $5.95/month and Family Guard (families) $9.95/ month. The App works like a personal alarm that is on you at all times, as long as your phone is in arm’s length. Let’s be honest, in today’s society, when isn’t it?

This app is a wonderful gift of relief for parents, spouses, single young ladies and just about anyone who is alone a lot or has loved ones to worry about! Worrying about the ones we love occupies a big portion of our minds and days when they are not around, these Apps can help you rest in peace or at least feel a little more secure while your child is getting out of work late at night or hanging out with friends. Also for times when your wife wants to go jogging at the break of dawn alone… There are millions of situations including the elders in our life and ones with health issues when Family Guard could avoid putting loved ones in harm’s way and even save lives. In emergencies, every moment matters and criminals and health issues do not take any breaks, so neither does Family Guard.

It is highly stressed that when setting up your account you closely follow the Emergency Notification Instructions. Especially when medical conditions are involved. Details such as any known allergies and or medications need to be provided for each family members’ account so the information can be added to the official record. That way this information can be relayed to emergency responders, making all the difference in a medical emergency.  Although this app will come in very handy, it is important that it is combined with safety practices that you can follow on your own as well. Being aware of your surroundings and belongings is very important at all times! Using your intuition to sense if someone is watching or following you can save your life. When possible, the buddy system is always safer than going at it alone. Be sure to park in well it areas, don’t fumble for your keys once you get to your car, have them out and ready to go while you are walking…. Keys can also be used as a weapon if it comes down to a fight for survival.

Bonus:

• You don’t have to speak to get help when you press your button
• Your call center immediately accesses the profile you’ve provided when you press your panic button
• They know who you are, what vital medical and personal information to relay to first responders
• The ability to locate you is often more precise than 911.

Family Guard was created with a very simple premise in mind, to make families feel safer! You basically can download for free a personal mobile security system, available for Android and iPhone based users. With just a touch of a button on your phone you are protected with GPS tracking and when the App is activated, the user is immediately connected to LifeFone’s U.S.-based call center where trained operators are waiting and ready to provide immediate assistance and security 24 hours a day, 7 days a week and 365 days a year. You can’t put a price on knowing that you have access to a trained professional who can immediately alert First Responders until you or your loved one is safe.

Great product, user friendly and definitely worth the monthly cost knowing there is an extra layer of security between myself and loved ones and harm.
