The Best Personal Safety Devices, Apps, and Alarms

Even going out for a solo jog can make you vulnerable to potentially dangerous situations, especially for women. The Strava app might help.

Strava is a social network for workouts, used mostly to record long bike rides or runs, and it may even be an app you already use. Strava has a helpful feature called Beacon that shares your real-time location with whoever you choose, along with what time you started your activity, how long you've been active, and your phone's battery percentage. If you set up a check-in time with your chosen friend, they'll know when it's time to get worried. They can then share your GPS map with the police.


However, the Beacon feature is only available if you pay $5 per month for the premium version of Strava.


Download Strava on the App Store or Google Play.
