USALAMA APP REVIEW

Its agreeable that worst things tend to happen to us when we are alone: Be it health emergencies,  crimes etc. .All these happen to us unexpectedly.

Truth is, we don't always get  a chance to scream, or call out for help .Yet we want to feel secure wherever we walk with friends,loved ones,  family and more so when  alone.


Usalama app which debuted last year November  (2016) offer a solution for you: armed robbery , burglary, mugging, car jacking , gender violence and medical emergency .

Lets all agree that the ordinary citizen is not in a position to hire a personal body guard, or purchase  a licensed pistol for his security etc, but the good news is: The Usalama App.

So I set foot on a path to discover how this app works.honestly , I've seen apps been advertised on billboards,and Been a tech-lover , I hurriedly get to google play store , download it and a few hours later, end up deleting it after realizing that it was all a fuss.



So after Jamlick Kyalo, a friend of mine and Usalama App marketing Partner under Dylan LTD told me about the app,  I decided to download it, as tell as test it .


believe me you, the app is great, here are reasons why Usalama app ticks!!

1: its quite easy to download on the google play store
enter the word "USALAMA" on the search box on Google Play Store.







 2:Only 7.66MBs and I was  set to security in my pocket.Is that too much to ask for for your security?


3: Its quite easy to use since it gives me  a" Pre-Use" manual brief and slowly guides one about what the app is all about

More Over, I realized that Usalama has multiple features which are really amazing

1. CRIME DISTRESS CALL - Allows victims to communicate quickly with their next of kin.

the distress logs were empty , i hadnt sent any distress alert.



2. TIMER - Set automated alerts if you are going to a risky location.

first I set location on,phone uses GPS to get your location

3. NEWS ALERTS- Location based to allow you to share and receive news on crimes and criminal activity



4. USALAMA AROUND - Allows for Usalama users to view and connect with nearby users within a 200 M radius


5. WALK WITH ME - Allows multiple Usalama users to keep tabs on each others position as they move. ( i used jamlick's email to this feature)




after following all those procedures, i chose three emergency numbers . I sent a distress to Jamlick (this was a trial to test functionality of the app) and.... he got my distress : below is the screenshot



Usalama also has two user options:
i) As an Individual: This allows you to use the application independently from any organized estate or association. You will enjoy all the above listed services.
ii) As an estate: This allows you to use the Usalama Mtaani platform which adds an extra estate based property to Usalama

REVIEW IN BRIEF 

The app allows its users to enter three contacts of family and friends who they would contact in case of an emergency. It has a simple interface that consists of 4 customizable crime scenarios which are to be selected by an individual when they are in distress.

Upon selection of one scenario, the application activates an internet connection and location service (GPS), which it uses to scan and get the location of the victim before composing a message with the victim’s location, the rescuers location, the nearest three police stations from the victim, and the respective paths from the victim.  If the contacts receiving the alert also have the app installed on their devices, distress calls are sent as notifications to them allowing them to open within the app to display the information.


As technology improves, our security should as well improve.


so congrats  to the apps developers,
I'd give it 4/5 -Star Rating 

So, if you want your security,your family's happiness, I wouldn't recommend a better app than the Usalama app.("SECURITY STARTS WITH YOU - UHURU KENYATTA )
