On iOS and Android you can add a Safepoint widget, giving you quick access to raise an alert without opening the app. On iOS, you can also trigger alerts directly from the Lock Screen.
With one simple tap, the app will start sending out an alert. This is much easier to do in an emergency than going into the app and triggering an alert there.
