The SafeBeacon App is designed to provide safety and peace of mind to you and your family. It allows you to share your activity with family members and friends whenever you head outdoors for an adventure – whether that's a run, ride, hike, walk, or any outdoor activity.
Activity notifications can be sent via email or text message and allow your contacts to track your adventure in real time on a map. This feature also includes an optional Stationary Alert that can notify your selected contacts if you stop moving for more than 5 minutes.
Yes, the app is available for both iPhone and Android users.
Activity Tracking allows you to share your location via email or text message with selected family members and friends whenever you head outdoors for an adventure. It allows your contacts to track your adventure in real-time on an online map.
Your selected contacts do not need the SafeBeacon App to see your location. You choose to send communications via SMS or email and the link to your online maps are viewable in any internet browser.
The Stationary Alert function will be activated if you remain within the same 15-foot (5 meter) diameter for five minutes or longer. You will have the opportunity to disable any Stationary Alert before it sends a message to your selected contacts.
If you stop moving for more than 5 minutes AND do not cancel the Stationary Alert countdown, a message will be sent to your selected contacts notifying them that you haven't moved in 5 minutes.
Your phone will continue to collect GPS data points locally. When you regain coverage, the App will send all the missed data points to your online map.
The App is designed to be easy on your battery. Testing shows minimal battery impact during multi-hour workouts.
To cancel your subscription, you'll need to cancel through the App Store (iPhone) or Google Play Store (Android).
