AppWatch Review

The Guardian Angel app basically turns your phone into an emergency beacon. Now what does that mean? Well if you're ever in a situation, let's say an accident or a medical situation, and you need help immediately, you can push a button that alerts a list of predetermined contacts where you are and that you need help. That way if you need emergency response, those contacts can know exactly what the issue is and what you need.

It will call one main person and send a text message to up to 5 additional contacts. The app also connects with NFC enabled devices, like a bracelet or watch with GPS, to provide accurate GPS locations. This function is ideal for kids, elderly parents, or disabled individuals. Now there are two versions that are worth considering, the first is the free version and the second is the Guardian Angel Observer, which costs $1.50. Both are available for Android devices, with iOS devices coming soon.

So to download either, search Guardian Angel in the app store today.
