Watch Over Me ..

Another Cool App For Ladies…

This morning, while I was having breakfast and reading the newspaper (well.. I don’t usually read the papers. Somehow I pick up the papers today) something caught my attention in the newspaper.

Dated sometime back, we were alerted about abduction cases in shopping malls. The most shocking one is the case of Candy (the gal who were abducted in BSC and was murdered), Chin Xin Ci (the gal who was abducted in The Curve Mall, but lucky enough to break-free and safe herself).. Well not everyone is as lucky or smart as her to be able to identify the run-away opportunity.

In view of her traumatic experience, she partner up with an app developer to create a safety and smart app “Watch Over Me” for all mobile users. It’s an app where it will alert the users emergency contact person if he/she is in danger. To me is like “Wow this is Interesting..!!” . After I finish reading her news, I quickly took my Ipad and download the app and decided to give it a try today while I drive to work.

The moment I open the app, it requires me to register (for first time users)… Of course you can opt to register via FB or manual.

After registering, I was directed to this page.

As I read through. I realize that the FOC version of a trial one for 7 days, the little me was thinking “of course la… you expect it to be free whole life meh.. if yes, how is the app developer going to survive oh..”. 

Well users can opt to upgrade their app for more features and function. Well for the safety view, i think their subscription fees are quire reasonable.

The first thing you must do is register your emergency contact person.  Advise: please make sure you select the person that will check email and phone at all time. Imagine it’s an emergency and your life is depending on it. (Of course please remember to inform that person you have put him or her as your emergency contact). What I did was I put my hubby (my trusted person) as my emergency contact and mana-tau he never check his mail. Not very smart of me thou.

After that proceed to check in the details and the time needed to arrive at your destination. No worries, if you are stuck in a jam half way through, you can always extend the watch over time (smart le the app..!!). 

WoLLA....!! Off You go...!!

Of course when I reach my office, I have forgotten (maybe did it on a purpose.. I suppose) to check in to confirm my safety arrival. After 2 hours later my hubby called me asking about this weird email stating the below…

Well according to my hubby, he didn’t receive any SMS except for email.. maybe because I used an Ipad not an Iphone so that’s why the SMS function doesn’t work. But overall, this app is a MUST HAVE app in our phones.

Oh..!one more thing. Once you register, they will send you an email and explain to you other function of “Watch Over Me”. One of it is the FB alerts (if you connect the account with your FB). It will automatically update you FB status to request for help. Chun le…!!!

Nevertheless, we must never take lightly of our safety. Although this app can track where is our last location, but what happen to us.. we will never know.
