Bad Idea Or Bad Luck: I Want To Know Your Opinion
Too Long; Didn't Read
An ICE (In case of emergency) app that helped users notify and request for help from 3 pre-selected emergency contacts via SMS & email at the push of a button. The app gets the user’s location, wraps it in an SMS/email and automatically sends it to 3 phone numbers and email addresses. A job seeker who was invited for an interview had downloaded the app, pushed the panic button absentmindedly and an SOS message had been sent to his parents and sister who he selected as his emergency contacts during registration. His family tried desperately to reach him but because the app had dimmed his phone’�s back-light and put it on silent mode, he couldn’t see or hear the phone ring during the numerous calls.
