KEY FEATURES
- Journey planner: Plan your journeys and save your favourite locations for easy access.
- Trusted friend circle: Build a trusted circle of friends who can view your location and share their own journeys. No one outside of your trusted circle will be able to see your location, not strangers or big brother.
- Street crime reports: Visualise serious street crime reports as icons with the WalkSafe Map, all information is based on verified police crime data.
- Community safety: Help others by posting safety icons to the WalkSafe map. All community icons are verified by admins to uphold user safety.
- Hotspot Alerts: Get alerts when you walk near areas that have seen reports of serious crimes such as knife attacks, sexual assault, violent attacks and muggings.
- SOS button: Alert ALL of your trusted friends even if they are not viewing your location.
PERSONAL SAFETY TOOLS
No one can predict where the next crime will be. However, we believe being informed and staying alert is the key to staying safer.
We use up-to-date, accurate, and verified police data, empowering you with street safety information. The app will help you choose the safest routes while walking, spot patterns in criminal behaviour, and stay safe.
- HomeSafe: Protect yourself and protect others with HomeSafe. Set a specific place and a specific time, and share your journey plan with loved ones. If you don't successfully complete your journey, your loved ones are notified. (This feature is non-location sharing).
- WalkSafe Journeys: Going somewhere? WalkSafe journeys differ from HomeSafe by allowing you to share your location with your trusted friends. Your location will update in real-time allowing your loved ones to keep you safe on your journey.
- Follow Me: Walking the dog? Going for a run? Just wandering? Follow Me allows you to start a journey with no destination in mind. Simply select a length of time to share your location for and select friends to keep you safe then you're good to go!
- Activity Map: Our map shows police and WalkSafe community reports of dangers such as knife crime, sexual assault & mugging. WalkSafe automatically alerts you when you walk near these dangers. Use this information to plan safer routes and post live updates in your local area. Be a part of the growing community to stay informed and safer.

Ratings and Reviews
Peace of mind
Since downloading WalkSafe with my friends & family we’ve all agreed we have more peace of mind now compared to the times of having to call & call someone because they didn’t message you when they got home. Being able to see what’s happened in new places helps me feel more confident when planning a journey or trip too.
Not quite sure
So I recently downloaded this app as I was interested in how it works.
One thing that I would be interested to know is, Would using this app make someone feel more safe or more anxious about walking around areas showing recent crime and poor lighting?
Surely it would cause someone to overthink?
Also. I found inaccuracies within it. Showing a police station in wrong location.
In my opinion, I can’t see this app lasting or doing well. I really hope it does for all the effort and the meaning behind it. All the best to the designers, owners, users and walkers !
Developer Response ,
Hi Mattleedslad, Thanks for the feedback. We are the most downloaded personal safety App in the UK with over 700,000 downloads. The main features are WalkSafe and Homesafe to share journeys with automatic alerts to trusted friends if you don't get home on time. The map is for people who want to plan safer routes and understand where repeated trouble spots are. We are now moving to a safety map. PLEASE let us know where the police station is that is incorrect. We use a database but can correct it manually if you let us know at: support@walksafe.io Many thanks, Stay safe, best wishes WalkSafe team
Loving this!!
Had the old app, but this is so much better! Better features, much better map and loving the circle of friends. So great I can check in on my friends after a night out when inevitably we sometimes forget. Keep keeping us safe WalkSafe.
Get your loved ones to download!
