Springwise.com: Created by Chicago-based Sandbox Industries, Bluelight
users begin by telling the app how much time they need to get to their
destination on a particular occasion, such as a late-night trip home.
They also designate a friend or family member for the application to
contact if it’s necessary. Then, assuming they arrive at their
destination as planned, they simply check in with Bluelight and their
contact won’t be bothered. If they don’t check in, however, Bluelight
will send a text message or email to the contact with the user’s most
recent location in the form of GPS coordinates plotted on a map. That
person can then reach out to make sure everything is OK. Bluelight also
offers a "Send Alert Now” button as an alternative to waiting for the
application’s timer |
