This application works just like the airplane flight recorder, the black box, that could help in facilitating the investigation of accidents. The application is more focused, but not limited to, on people that live in war zones and people that have to migrate.
It could be used for the following situations:
- People that get stuck in emergency situations like getting kidnapped, getting stuck under their houses ruins due to bombing...etc: They can use this application in emergency mode. This mode allows users to record a sound for ten seconds and broadcast the record automatically to other nearby users. The location of the sender will be pinpointed in red, indicating emergency situation, on the map, in only one touch of a button.
- People that are trying to leave their countries and do not know where to go: They can listen to other users real-time discussions or records in other countries to decide where would be best for them to go.
- Immigrants that are fleeing their counties to other countries through seas and forests: This application works in online and offline mode. The application works on capturing everything the user does like recording, posting, liking, disliking, replying...etc. It tries to document and record everything happens with the user. If the user ever gets in emergency situations or lost, the user can always broadcast a help message.
- If the user, God forbid, dies or drowns while migrating: Once we get his phone back online we can start the investigations. Where was the user? Where was the user heading to? What were the help requests the user was making?...etc
- People that are settling down in foreign countries that do not speak the hosting country language: They can use this application to ask questions through posting and recording and get instant replies from people speak their language in real-time.
The application is a personal initiative to keep people connected, to help those in need get their voices heard, and to make this world a better place-- even if just a little
