SOSNow is an application that allows you to alert friends and emergency services when faced with a dangerous situation (disaster, crime and injury etc.).

It allows you to sound an emergency alarm and flash light, as well as an automatic transferring of your emergency message posted on your SNS account’s TL/board and sent to your selected friends via e-mail at repeated intervals.
All are achieved with just ONE TAP of a button.

It also provides for quick access to emergency services via a ONE TAP quick dial icon system.

SOSNow takes care of all this so that you do not need to individually access E-mail client app, SNS accounts or your contact book, thus saving valuable time.
