About this app

The breakthrough iWitness app turns phones into personal safety devices – providing extra security to any family member– whenever and wherever they want it.

By recording video and audio of any incident directly to a secure cloud server, sounding an alarm, initiating 911 dialing, and alerting your friends and family exactly where you are and that you feel endangered, it literally helps stop crimes before they start.

iWitness is easy to use, affordable protection against assault, stalking, domestic abuse, burglary, bullying, abduction, rape, mugging, harassment, and more.

HOW IT WORKS:

Anytime and anywhere you’d like some extra peace of mind, simply open iWitness. It will immediately start recording video and audio of your surroundings directly to a secure cloud server.

If you encounter a person or situation that warrants calling 911, tap anywhere on your screen. iWitness will now:

• Initiate 911 dialing
• Sound an alarm
• Send a text/email to emergency contacts pre-chosen by you – informing them that you feel threatened, providing your GPS location and a link to the video iWitness has captured, and asking them to call you immediately.

No other personal safety device matches the unique feature set of iWitness.

To protect your privacy, iWitness service is designed for use by a single user on one device at a time. Any attempt to login on more than one device will be blocked and you will be notified by an alert message that another login attempt has been made using your login credentials. If you choose to switch devices, please log out on the first device before attempting to log in on the second.

iWitness only works if you have a subscription. The price of a subscription is $2.99 monthly or $29.99 annually. Payment will be charged to your iTunes account at confirmation of purchase, and will automatically renew unless you cancel your account at least 24 hours before the end of the current subscription period. Subscriptions and auto-renewal may be managed by going to the user’s account.

The use of iWitness is subject to the iWitness User Terms and Conditions.
