Best Women Safety Mobile Apps

The recent Mumbai and Delhi-rape case was one of the most debated issues and it raised lots of unexpected questions about women safety. Government is introducing various new strict laws for women protection but above all, women should be aware about tackling these critical situations calmly and intelligently. Technology can play an important role in such situations and can bring you out quickly.


Well, what will you do if you find yourself in a similar violent situation? You’ll probably scream out for help or probably try to call or notify out known helpful resources.  Among these, notifying the help resources seems much stronger. And there are plenty of applications for Android users that can help you in notifying the help resources with just a single click or tap. These applications are capable of sending your name, type of emergency situation along with your physical GPS location over text messages. So, over the due course of this we’ll be discussing some similar applications that can help you out in such critical situations. 

 Best Women Safety Android Applications:

 Circle of 6:
Circle of 6 application is available on Android as well as on iPhone. This application has beautiful easy to use interface and mechanism that can be used by women, students and perhaps by everyone very easily and quickly. They can use this application to alert their friends quickly whenever they found themselves in a threatening or harassing situation. The application will be fully functional when you subscribe to available monthly or a yearly plan. The application is extremely easy to operate and two gentle tap will send one of three available messages to your 6 favourite pre-mentioned friends.  These messages will include your name, the type of situation in which you’re and your GPS location. Apart from this you can even request a call back seeking advice from your friends in a tense situation. The application comes with lot of national as well as security department’s numbers. The application is highly rated, highly trusted and highly recommended to everyone. 

 Nirbhaya: 
Nirbhaya is a Hindi word which means fearless. This application is a tribute to brave Delhi-rape incident girl. Nirbhaya is capable of handling emergency situations and capable of sending notifications to pre-assigned contacts like your name, type of emergency situation along with your physical GPS location over text messages. The notification can be send quickly with a single tap on panic button.  Apart from basic functionalities, it allows you to organise contacts intelligently to tackle different types of emergency situations like Molestation, natural disaster, accident, etc. You can even feed the contacting information about the nearby helping-authorities like Police station, hospital, police supervisor and moreover you can even include or import any contact from your phonebook. Application supports lots of widgets and hotkeys combination which enables the victim to send emergency notifications as soon as possible.

The another thing which I like the most about this application is the Facebook  integration which means on pressing the panic button on the application, an emergency status will be posted automatically on your Facebook wall.  You can also enable the emergency email support.  The application is highly rated and free to download from Google Play. 

 bSafe:
bSafe is another helpful application that is capable of sending help message with a single tap to your pre-determined contacts. The best thing about bSafe is that you can send SOS messages to your pre-determined contacts which in turn eliminate all impossibilities of sending messages even when you’re not subscribed to a messaging plan. Your single tap will send message to your pre-determined contacts, your GPS location and apart from that 3 pre-assigned contacts will receive a SOS call from you. Moreover you can also set up a pre-planned fake call with lot of timing options.

Like circle of 6 this application also involves monthly or yearly service subscription plans. The monthly plan will cost you $1.99 per month and yearly plan will cost you around $14.99 per year. As of now, they are offering three months free subscription, so you can test this application before getting into paid subscription plans. The application will work with basic features even if you are not subscribing to any plan, however some of the premium features needs monthly or yearly subscription.

 Fight Back:
The last in our list is Fight Back which is believed to be first mobile application in India for women empowerment.  The application is available for various platforms and is specially designed to tackle the emergency situations calmly. Like other applications, Fight back is also capable of sending notifications to pre-assigned contacts like your name, type of emergency situation along with your physical GPS location over text messages.  It will also automatically post the emergency notification on your Facebook profile.

It’s almost similar to the Nirbhaya application but Fight back uses its own gateway for sending messages notifications.  Apart from this, the Fight back has a beautiful web interface too. Application is free to download and can be downloaded anytime from the official website. 

 Verdict:

 All the applications are efficient and offer lot of options to users.  While some may not afford subscription, they can go with free applications like Nirbhaya and Fight back. Both Fight back and Nirbhaya seems to be much powerful than others and does includes plenty of extra notifications options. While Fight back uses its own gateway for sending messages, Nirbhaya on the other hand needs either sufficient balance or message subscription enabled on your mobile. Applications are advertised for woman empowerment but they can be used by anyone.
