FAQ's
SOS CRY is a mobile app designed to instantly alert nearby community members of a user’s location and safety situation during emergencies. It relays distress calls to other SOS CRY users within a pre-selected radius, providing help with just a tap, anywhere in the world. By joining the SOS CRY community, users gain a network of potential first responders for threats like assault, robbery, or medical emergencies.
To activate, tap the SOS CRY app icon on your mobile device, which shares your GPS location, alerts nearby members with a pop-up showing distance and a map, and optionally captures a photo of the aggressor via selfie camera. The server records sender and receiver details, ensuring 24/7 support, while pinpointing exact locations for quick response. It works in vehicles, on foot, or during travel, mobilizing community help immediately.
Key features include real-time location sharing with alerted members, photo capture of suspects stored on the server, customizable alert radius from 5 to 5,000 meters, and mapping with shortest routes to the caller. Pop-up notifications show distance in meters, and all interactions are logged for records. The app supports global connectivity without sharing personal data beyond mobile number and ID.
Group Mode allows creating private groups for communities like schools, families, hiking groups, or events by tapping the green settings button, naming the group, and inviting members via name or email. Alerts notify only group members with location, photo, and map during distress, enabling first responders within the group. Users can switch between individual panic mode (red button) and group mode seamlessly.
Membership costs an annual fee of US$15.00, activated upon payment confirmation via PayPal, Visa, MasterCard, Debit/Credit Card, or American Express. Subscriptions renew yearly with notifications, and the app transfers to new devices with the same mobile number at no extra cost.
Download the SOS CRY app from the Android Play Store or Apple App Store. Upon installation, set your preferred alert radius, and it activates post-subscription payment without capturing names or addresses.
No, SOS CRY is not a 911 equivalent and does not directly alert police, ambulances, or other services; it mobilizes community members as first responders who can then contact authorities. It enhances safety through proximity alerts but cannot guarantee outcomes.
