Finally, some good news amid the rising grim reports of crimes, robberies and other accidents that pose a serious threat to our safety.

An upcoming mobile project is striving to improve personal safety across African neighbourhoods through real-time safety alerts.

Aptly titled “Guardaround”, the app is designed to send immediate alerts of incidents happening nearby to make users aware of the danger so that they can plan accordingly and keep themselves safe.

Developed by a group of friends, Guardaround is presently focused on African community but also has plans to cater to users worldwide in future. The app will be available for both iOS and Android users.

“Lack of real-time information is one of the biggest obstacles in creating a safer society. We know many people have had been in accidents and suffered loss which could have been avoided had they known about the grave situation on time. This is where our innovative mobile app Guardaround will come to the rescue”, stated a leading spokesperson from Guardaround team.

As per the statements of the spokesperson, Guardaround was developed inspired by the entire team’s passion to make the world safer for everyone by enhancing personal safety. They wanted to develop a handy app that will keep users informed in real-time and make them aware about the incidents taking place in their vicinity.

Based on the app’s alerts, users will have a clear idea on which area they should avoid to prevent themselves from falling prey to danger. The alerts will also prompt users to reach out to people in need in the affected neighbourhood.

Guardaround is bustling with a number of unique features:

News Feed– Guardaround will send real-time news feeds whenever something unwanted or dangerous happens in and around user’s current location.

Live footage– The app will not only send alerts but also show live footage of the incident scene in the user’s vicinity. This way, users will have the assurance that they are only getting authentic updates about the incident scene.

Constant safety alerts– Guardaround is designed to send constant alerts to user to keep him up-to-date about all things worthwhile happening in the local incident scene. This way, users can choose the next move wise to keep themselves protected or rescue a near or dear one who is trapped in the incident scene.

“The police tend to keep the citizens dark whenever something unpleasant or dangerous has happened. And this lack of transparency deals a heavy blow to our overall safety as we are never updated in real-time about the actual situation. It prevents us from making a suitable plan that could keep us safe or our loved ones protected in times of danger nearby.

But, a true safe society has no secrets and Guardaround will assure every individual gets updated information about incidents happening near them in real-time. Together, we will ensure safety and peace in our communities.”
