Given the times we live in, the crimes against women are on the rise. No woman feels safe and this is because the crimes against women cut across the boundaries of culture, education, age, religion, socio-economic status…
As they say, safety is in your own hands. So apart from carrying pepper sprays or being proficient in self defense, women should have another savior in the form of Smart Suraksha.
Smart Suraksha, a mobile application, that can track your whereabouts and at a single touch will send an SMS to the pre-listed 5 contacts simultaneously and also the police.
You can download Smart Suraksha App on your phone from Google Play Store here.
Yes, use this app as a weapon that can prevent you from becoming an unfortunate victim.
Stay safe with Smart Suraksha.
I am participating in the Seeking Smart Suraksha contest at BlogAdda.com in association with Smart Suraksha App.

I have one old htc phone that came with Windows 6 ‘smart’ operating system. This phone just doesn’t break and hence I am unable to experience all those excellent apps available on Android!
Is breaking a phone a big thing? Give it to a child 😀
😀 Give it to a child. Good one!
As for the article, love the bullet format. Kind of digs in the seriousness of each and every incident that you mention. Great post!
😀 😛 I am sure Rajesh is laughing as well 😀
Hope we dont have such incidents ever again.
Excellent post. Smart Suraksha is a must for every girl. Hope this gets a large publicity.
Thanks SG. Yes, the idea is that more women are aware of this app and know that help is nearby.
Very nice Shilpa, I guess we all must subscribe to this!
We must! I have downloaded it too!
very informative post. I got a ‘Smart’ phone as a gift from my children last week.. I am quite confused about all its features.
Thank you Ma’am. A smartphone is like your laptop only… explore it and you will enjoy the experience thoroughly. 🙂
Very useful app. But I really do hate the fate we women need such apps/helps to be free or safe in our own place…. feels as if we are not safe in our own cocoon.
Oh yes, it is indeed sad that we need to use such apps for our safety and cant feel safe otherwise! 😐
Sounds like a very good app.
I tried it and it works great!
We all have been in one or more situations where we wish we had something like this. These are some really really bad times we are living in. 🙁
I know and the feelings or the state of mind in those few minutes is so distressing and scary! 😐
Times are so bad that we have to depend on a small cell-phone to take care of ourselves. But its a blessing.thank God for technology.
I know what you mean, Kalpana. Scary world we live in… yes, thank God for advances in technology!
I have never heard of this app and wonder if it is available in the United States. What a God send this would be as long as the lady had the time and capacity to bring it up while being attacked. It sounds like a wonderful safety tool.
This app is available on Google Play Store… so I guess, you should be able to download it on your phone in US. Try it… I am now curious to see if it works at your place! 😛 Yes, it is truly a boon for women when in any distressing situation!
Thanks,Shilpa.I will ensure that this msg,this post is spread to all the ladies in the family,in the neighbourhood.
That would be awesome! Thanks Mr Chowla 🙂
Very nice post 🙂 smart suraksha should be a good app I guess.
Thks Sugandha! It is a good one… I tested it and it works well 🙂
very true shilpa. safety is in our own hands. It is not possible for the police or any security agency to be present in every nook and corner and provide security 24/7. In such circumstances smart suraksha is the most needed app. every woman/girl, why even men can carry.
Very valid point, Asha…. why only women, men must use this app too!
Shucks man. This post disturbed me right from the first line. But unfortunately this is the truth and there is nothing one can do about it… I wish this app can at least solve the purpose in some odd way…
I know what you mean, Richa! When I was reading about these, it disturbed me too!! yeah I hope this app helps too…
Interesting and useful app in today’s hostile times. Seems like it doesn’t work with Google nexus phone in US,I tried to download and it said incompatible.
Oh! Is it??
Thank you for the information Shilpa 🙂
It sure is a useful App
Thks Pixie 🙂
Wonderful post Shilpa.
Thank you Geeta 🙂
