How it Works

Download the app, enter your information, and select the contacts you want to notify about your safe arrival.
Enter a destination and select how you’ll be getting there: via Uber, Lyft, taxi, mass transit, or walking.
For the first two options, you receive the pricing for them so that you can select your most cost-efficient option.
When taking a ride with someone you don’t know, take a photo of their license plate. This image will act as an immediate deterrent, putting the driver on notice that others know the vehicle in which you’re riding.
The app displays the path to your destination and provides you with an ETA for your trip.
Start your trip (and the app displays where you are along the journey and if the recommended path is being followed).
As the ETA approaches, you’ll receive an alert asking if you’ve arrived safely.
If you respond to the alert that you’ve arrived safely, it will notify your network.
If you do not respond to the alert, your network will receive a message stating that something might be wrong and the pictures you took along with your last GPS location.
