Mayday Alerts Keeps You Safe With Automated Alerts To Emergency Contacts

Singapore -- (ReleaseWire) -- 12/18/2014 -- Whenever a person leaves their home, there is always a risk of danger from external threats. While most people carry a phone with them, calling the police takes time and a person does not always have enough time to dial and explain what is happening. Additionally, when an individual is in danger, they usually do not have time to notify their friends and family.

App development company UrFamily Labs is proud to announce the release of a new safety mobile application, Mayday Alerts, re-invented with a twist. Mayday Alerts keeps people safe in potentially risky zones. If a person is caught in a dangerous situation, Mayday Alerts can monitor their location to alert emergency contacts, the police, or both. The app automatically seeks help on Facebook via the monitoring system. With the world being in such turmoil, the release is projected to be a big hit among the public.

The app is available for free download with upgrades on sale now at the iTunes store and the Play store.

Using Mayday Alerts is simple. When a person feels like they are entering a risky situation, they can first inform their emergency contacts to monitor their notification channels. To send out an alert when danger arises, the user holds down the alert button to start the alert process. If the user is safe after sending out a warning, they will be directed to enter their passcode to notify contacts of safety, but if that person is still in danger, he or she can choose to call the emergency number before it is dialed after 10 seconds automatically. When an emergency contact is dialed, the location will be visible for safety and rescue purposes. Notifications will be sent to emergency contacts throughout the process, including after the emergency number is dialed.

In addition to alerting emergency services and contacts directly, Mayday Alerts also allows people to post notifications to their Facebook friends. For instance, if the person in danger takes a photo of their attacker, it can be shared to Facebook for all to see together with GPS location and timestamp. This drastically increases the chances that help will come to the rescue and serves as valuable criminal evidence.

Emergency numbers are available for 151 countries.

"Mayday Alerts combines the best that social media, smartphone and information technology have to offer into one no-nonsense safety app," said Ling Wong, spokesperson for UrFamily Labs. "We are thrilled to be able to launch an app that can keep people safety and potential criminals at bay. Mayday Alerts should be a standard app in everyone's phone."

AudIOfy Allows Users to Create Personalized, ‘AudIOfied’ News Feed

Singapore -- (ReleaseWire) -- 12/17/2014 -- App development company UrFamily Labs is pleased to announce the release of a revolutionary new text-to-speech app for Apple devices that allows users to convert any Facebook or Twitter page or RSS feed into audio content.

The AudIOfy free news reader app is like an internet news radio that reads the feeds from a person's favourite Facebook and Twitter pages in the style of an audio book. In addition to reading Facebook status updates, it also can read the content of full articles associated with social media posts.

The app was designed to provide access to popular news and information to people who are driving, cooking, multitasking or otherwise occupied. It is also an excellent resource for the visually impaired.

AudIOfy can be used to listen to the content of news articles from one's favourite online news providers and bloggers, including CNN, TechCrunch, Business Insider, Bloomberg News, Science Daily and so on. It can also be modified to create a feed of information about finance, science and nature, health, entertainment and more — any topic can be "audIOfied" simply by subscribing to one's favorite channels.

The app is available for free download for iOS devices at the Apple store. More product information here: https://www.todo.sg/p/audiofy/

About AudIOfy
AudIOfy is a sleek, efficient app that works better than most internet news radio stations because it uses less than 1 MB of internet data per hour, running in the background so other apps can be used on a device at the same time. This allows for faster downloads and less data usage.

The app is compatible with many reputable news providers and supports content in 33 different languages. AudIOfy also includes diverse playback control options (shake / flip phone, voice commands and action menus), 25 levels of adjustable playback speed, the ability to intelligently skip previously read news articles, feed storage for offline usage and the option to share interesting articles on Facebook for easy access on a user's desktop. AudIOfy also allows playback to start on app load, a feature specially designed for the visually impaired.

"AudIOfy combines the best that text-to-speech readers, online news radio and RSS feed technologies have to offer into one super-efficient, low-bandwidth app," said Ling Wong, spokesperson for UrFamily Labs. "We are thrilled to be able to launch an app that will revolutionize the way people receive information on their mobile devices. AudIOfy is the internet news radio of the future."
