Silent Beacon Waives Safety App's Premium Subscription Fees in Response to COVID-19 Health Crisis

ROCKVILLE, Md., April 2, 2020 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Silent Beacon, the industry-leading provider of safety wearable technology, is waiving its App subscription fees to enhance public access to essential emergency services for the next three months, through June 2020. Users can now download the App from the Apple Store or Google Play for unlimited access to its advanced suite of safety features.

The move comes in response to the heightened stress and anxiety among the public caused by the COVID-19 pandemic sweeping the nation. Silent Beacon aims to alleviate panic over the virus's spread.

"In these uncertain times, it's crucial that everyone has the ability to call for help and alert loved ones in emergency situations," says Silent Beacon CEO Kenny Kelley. "By unlocking our App's full capabilities, we hope to equip the public with an extra safety preparedness tool."

The Silent Beacon App allows you to call any number including 911 while sending multiple people your live GPS location via text, email, and push notifications. Waiving the monthly $1.99 subscription fee unlocks access to the following deluxe safety features within the App: 

    --  Store Multiple Emergency Contacts: The Silent Beacon Subscription allows
        you to program multiple emergency contacts into the App, whether that's
        911, other emergency services, family members or friends, even phone
        numbers overseas.
    --  Customize Emergency Text Messages & Emails: Different emergencies
        require different responses. Silent Beacon allows you to customize your
        contact alert messages to fit your specific needs.
    --  Share Your Live Location with the Footsteps Feature: Activating
        "Footsteps" within the App shares your real-time location with your
        emergency contacts, allowing them to track where you are in situations
        when you feel unsafe or want to be found.
    --  Notify Loved Ones Using Nudge: The Nudge feature allows you to notify
        loved ones that you arrived to your destination safely without the need
        to call or text them. It sends a snap shot of your location along with
        your custom text message.
    --  Passcode Protect Alert Deactivation: Users can select a passcode to
        prevent unwanted alert deactivation, for an added layer of protection.
