SAN FRANCISCO, Aug 4 ― US crime alert app Citizen is launching its first paid feature, offering subscribers access to a live safety agent when they are in “stressful or uncertain situations.”
The agent can also notify a person's emergency contacts or kick off a “public incident,” sending an alert for help to other Citizen users in the vicinity. The app, originally launched in 2016 under the name Vigilante, in recent months has been expanding its remit. Protect, which will cost US$19.99 a month, has been in testing with nearly 100,000 users, but will now be available for the app's 8 million users, starting with iOS devices.
