Descripción
Even with the best preparation, skills and behavior, sometimes accidents happen. If they do, BackcountrySOS is a simple-to-use smartphone app that allows you to quickly get your status and location information to emergency personnel.
• Low power. It will only use your phone's GPS for the brief period where it fetches your location.
• High contrast. The app is easy to read in bright sunlight, and won't kill your vision at night.
• No setup. You don't need to setup an account or login. If it's on your phone, the app is ready to use when you need it.
• Data efficient. The app works as long as you have enough signal to squeeze out a text message. It will work in places where you can't get data access or make a voice call.
• Private. Information about you is stored only on your device, not on a central server. You control what information is sent when sending an SOS message.
The app works wherever text-to-911 service is available. Almost 1,500 counties support text-to-911 with more added each month. Additionally, a growing list of first-responders specifically monitor for BackcountrySOS communication. If you'd like your search-and-rescue region added to the app, please contact us.
Free access to the BackcountrySOS app is made possible by the generous support of the Teton County Search & Rescue Foundation as part of their BackcountyZero project. If you find the app helpful and wish to support its continued development, please consider making a donation.

LIFE SAVER!
This could be the difference between life or death. Thank you TCSAR! Easy to use. Just a suggestion; how about a safety checklist within the app for those in need of rescue like what to do or not to do I while waiting for SAR.
Good concept but clunky & slow
The app itself is well designed and I like the concept. However after waiting upwards of 2 min for it to get my location and many steps, message that it probably won’t work in my area, I gave up. It would have been faster and easier to just launch my phones text app, copy and paste coordinates from my other GPS apps and text 911.
Respuesta del desarrollador ,
Thanks for the feedback. The app is intended for backcountry use, and only uses satellite GPS geolocation rather than wifi, which can be slow if you're not in clear view of GPS satellites. It will be no slower than other GPS apps. We're always looking to add more counties, but there's no harm in using the app to compose a message to 911, even if your area is not specifically supported by the app.
Great concept!
Providing accurate coordinates to first responders can save your life. This app makes that easy.
