I was really happy to hear about a new iPhone app that may be able to prevent a crime or save a life called IcePics (In Case of Emergency Pictures).
Anyone who suspects they are about to become a victim of kidnapping, rape, robbery or assault can simply point their iPhone at the suspicious person and push the IcePics button on their iPhone. IcePics will email a picture of the bad guy along with the GPS location of that photo right away to contacts pre-selected by the owner. A wonderful secondary use of IcePics is to confirm the location of your teen or child with the GPS location sent to your email along with the photo.
I tried out the IcePics app this week. I plugged in my husband’s email address and then click the little “Take Picture & Send” button. It somehow didn’t dawn on me exactly what was going to happen, so within seconds I had my husband calling me, asking me about the email he’d just gotten. So, I can say without a doubt that the app works … and works well.
I’d say this is a must-have app for anyone with an iPhone. You can never be too safe and the IcePics app is quick, easy-to-use and gives me peace of min.
