AlertWalk is an app designed to notify its users when they are adventuring through a dangerous area. The app uses scraped information from various police crime API's as well as crime statistics in order to calculate risk ratings for certain areas.
Depending on the risk of the area, the user will be given "options" to perform certain actions including calling a taxi, seeing the local bus route (online) or directions to the closest safezone. (See safezone section).

Taxis are called using the default phone app on your phone. The number used to call the taxi is set per-city.
A safezone is a open business and/or location which is known to be a meeting area for a large amount of people. In simplest terms, these locations tend to be always open and are less risky for crime.
Example locations could be Starbucks, Tim Hortons or malls open late
