Prevention is better than cure. Regardless if something goes wrong, preparation is the lifeline. Going out and exploring the world alone can be daunting but unavoidable. Whether it’s having your child on a play date, a camping trip, or yourself heading for a solo trip. Unfavourable situations are unpredictable and you must be prepared to face them. Ensuring the safety of your loved ones and yourself is a high-priority responsibility!

It is not humanly possible to have everything under control everywhere. This is why it is recommended to have location-tracking apps to help you in an emergency. These apps can help you get instant assistance or help you know what’s the right thing to do when stuck. 

While such apps are flooded in the market, we picked out that have additional and practical features. 

Here are some travel safety apps for you to try:

1. Be Safe: Be Safe app was specifically made keeping female safety in mind, whether at home or in the office. This app has many useful features such as an SOS button, voice activation, live streaming, follow me, and many more to help you use whatever suits your situation.

2. GPSWOX: GPSWOX is one useful tool to ensure the safety of your loved ones. It is a Family Locator app for Android and iOS devices that provides real-time location tracking for family members. This app can increase your peace of mind by letting you see where your loved ones are at all times, along with features like emergency alerts and location history. It also alerts you if your family member is overspeeding while driving, or their battery is low. 

One another troubling factor can be that children may not like these spying apps on their phones and wouldn’t like to share all their whereabouts with you. How would you get them to install an app that specifically focuses on watching their every single step? (Bit invasive, isn’t it?)

In such cases, you may use apps that include other features. 

3. Sitata: Sitata is a safety app for anyone and everyone. It alerts you on any safety concerns around you so you are always informed. You can also use the safety sharing feature to share your geolocation with your close ones.
   

Another commendable feature for travellers is their safety check-in which randomly asks you if you are safe or not. If you don’t reply to it, Sitata checks your information and itinerary shared by you to track you and make sure you are safe. With their insurance and other services like telemedicine, travellers can have a convenient journey no matter where they go.
