We are pleased to announce that we have just released a new version of our Android alerting app AutoSOS in Google's Play Store.

Basic Functionality

  • Alarming in case of emergency (via phone call and SMS with a link to Google Maps)
    • No Internet required, i.e. no need to purchase data packages for alerting (neither at home nor abroad).
    • Locating the alarming mobile phone with and without GPS (less accurate)
  • Speed dial and alarming from lock screen
  • Alerting of incoming alarm SMS, even in silent mode
  • Eases finding the mobile phone in close proximity, by making it ring through an SMS command, even in silent mode
  • Facilitate the location of the mobile phone in case of theft by reporting its current position:
    • in response to a SMS command 
    • when the SIM card is changed

Alarm triggering


Alarm can be raised:
  • by clicking on the SOS button
  • by pulling the earphone plug (Hint: Cut the cord of an old earphone and make a loop or knot.)
  • by absence of significant motion
  • by pressing the power button several times
  • by pressing a Flic button (to be bought separately from www.flic.io)
  • when the battery is low of charge
