Tap Your Social Safety Net

Plerts is a personal alert service focused on accessibility, geographic location, and privacy for medical and personal safety. Plerts is built around the concept of a “social safety net” which is basically a customized list of contacts that will simultaneously receive your alert via SMS, email or even over Facebook and/or Twitter public status.

Plerts is available as a free download on the iTunes AppStore, Facebook App platform, and as a traditional web app. Plerts premium service costs $4.99 per month or $49.99 per year.
