Despite the criticisms that are falsely implying that every hazardous situation a woman may encounter has to be immediately violent, I think this app serves as a pretty good deterrent to a sadly prevalent societal problem (domestic assault and sexual abuse just as examples) , something most of us with XY chromosomes can't or won't accept to be a reality. Also, its purpose is a deterrent, it doesn't claim to be a solution, so implying it does is just using misinformation as proof of an unfounded opinion.

While I agree that no app can prevent danger, and I concede that some situations would benefit from such an app, I take exception to your assertion that domestic violence is prevalent. Present, yes... tragically. Those are more the exception, however, than the rule.

I can see that in some situations in which a woman is in an abusive situation, she may benefit from this app: but then abusers (who are really insecure worms) will likely scan the woman's phone, remove such apps and then take their rage out on her. One would hope she would reach out to someone who can help her & any kids exit the situation.

I'm Safe would do well to consider a camouflage name, icon and opening so it appears to be a game and plays as such: but a certain pattern or key combination will open the REAL app and send a distress call.
