SoftGuard SmartPanics is updated with more power and more functionality

Latin America. SmartPanics, the global security mobile application created by SoftGuard that works as a panic button and that already has more than 4 years in the market saving lives and offering total security to all users, presents important updates in this month of March 2018, where all users can download the new version of the iOS and android stores, as always for free.

In SoftGuard they work with daily dedication so that all their users have not only the most powerful tools to provide monitoring service, but also adapt in order to offer a differentiated service, always leading the way in terms of security.

The built-in changes mainly aim at optimizing the space on the main screen of the App, where the "My Alarms" buttons are located.

Here you will quickly notice an improved aesthetic in terms of the arrangement of the buttons, covering larger screen size for ease of use.

These enlarged buttons are automatically adjusted according to the services that the provider company defines to give. For example: there are companies that only offer monitoring for SOS and Assistance buttons, in this case for "My Alarms" only 2 buttons will be visible occupying these the total of the screen.

Another of the improvements introduced in the new version of SmartPanics is the fifth button called "I'm here". The use of the same aims to report in a simple and concrete way the arrival at a destination. 

Whoever presses it will be informing the coordinators of the group by push message their location on the map with the possibility of adding a written message, audio, photo and video (for example in a family the adolescent son to his parents when arriving at a friend's house or in commercial use a seller on the street for the arrival at the home of a client).

This is also already available in this new version the use of "widgets" or shortcuts that smartphones have.

In this way the "My Alarms" buttons are within reach of a single click and can be operated completely, without requiring entry to the application. In the case of iphone, the widget is accessed by sliding from left to right the main screen of smartphone icons.  For android phones it is accessed by holding down the background on the main screen.

"Force Touch" is also a new feature available in principle for iOs. On the home screen of the smartphone you must hold down the smartpanics App button with intensity giving access to my messages where the push notifications are for review of the notices sent and the SOS button for direct sending of an alarm.

Remember that in android you can already use the side power button of the smartphone as a trigger for the SOS button, pressing it 4 times continuously (in the total span of 5 seconds)

As for the "tracking" function, it has also been simplified in this new version, being able to select the frequency of the report in 3 scales: Low - Medium - High, covering in each of them the distance and time relationship together.

In low frequency the automatic position report is programmed for variations of approximately 3,000 meters and 30 minutes, for average frequency of 1,500 meters and 15 minutes and for high frequency before position variations of 500 meters and 5 minutes. 

Also within the "groups" function there is the option to convert the profile from common user to coordinator without requiring assistance from the service provider.

Finally, and in line with the global expansion that SmartPanics is having in the world, the French language has been added to the application.
